Overview

• Lidl’s in‑store Tronic unit is advertised with a laundry‑dry program, humidity presets from 30–80%, extraction up to 10L per day, and a 2.1L tank with full‑tank alert and overflow protection.
• Competing budget picks include Dunelm’s 1L model using 23W (reported at under 1p per hour), EasyAcc’s 1200ml unit on Amazon for £39.70, and Daewoo’s 2L model at B&Q for £64.99, with larger 10L options at Argos and Appliances Direct.
• MoneySavingExpert’s Martin Lewis has promoted dehumidifiers as a cheaper way to dry clothes compared with tumble dryers, a message resurfacing as households look to cut energy costs.
• Shoppers praise EasyAcc’s compact model for quiet running under 35 dB, an auto shut‑off, and advertised use of about 0.79 kWh over 24 hours, with reports of effective moisture removal in small rooms.
• Customer feedback is mostly positive across low‑cost units, though isolated complaints note reliability issues such as failure to switch off at a full tank, and performance claims are drawn from listings and user reviews.
