Overview
- Amazon is offering a 20L dehumidifier with humidity display for £89.99, down from a listed £799.99, with reviewers saying it helps dry washing and runs quietly in sleep mode.
- The discounted 20L model advertises up to 20L per day extraction, a 4.3L tank with auto shut-off, dual fan speeds, automatic defrost and a live LED humidity readout.
- Lidl began selling a £74.99 Tronic 10L dehumidifier in stores from 14 October, adding a dedicated laundry-drying mode and basic safety alerts such as a full-tank warning.
- Guidance published by The Independent cites AO and Meaco experts who say operating costs typically range from about 4p for small units to around 15p per hour for larger ones, with efficiency, central placement and closed doors improving performance.
- Very compact units like Dunelm’s 1L model draw roughly 23W (under 1p per hour by estimates), though customer feedback is mixed with reports of quick drying alongside complaints of limited effect or overflow issues.
