Russell Hobbs 20L Dehumidifier

Very efficient and reasonably compact- not the cheapest to run but certainly helps to dry laundry and reduce excess moisture in general - not too noisy either. Some reviewers had an issue with emptying the unit but I found it very straightforward- moves really well on hard floors - not great on carpet - overall very glad I bought it.

I wanted to buy a dehumidifier for a long time and I regret I haven't done it sooner . The amount of water it pulls out from the house is enormous. I also use it as I dry my laundry just leave it on the Dryer mode overnight and it's dry next morning. The water tank is massive and I can tell when it's on I can breathe better. My dog is allergic to dust mites and mould spores and been on antibiotics combined with steroids for most of his life . Since my purchase symptoms eased a bit . I cannot recclmend it enough for all especially if you have anyone suffering from the allergy it's a must have at home. It has three modes, smart option, dryer or continuous. Also three levels of extraction. It's not too loud and really I just forget its on. Timer function is brilliant but smart mode does all it needs depending on the moisture lvl in the air I want . I have a large area to cover downstairs combined living room / kitchen and diner and it manages perfectly. It has small whells so it's really easy to manoeuvre as well. Some reviews say about the water container but I haven't found any difficulty in taking it out or putting it back. It has a handle so it's easy to carry , empty and put it back. Of course if you move the machine while doing that you can spill some leftovers in the dehumidifier chamber but it's all logical to me . I think it's an excellent dehumidifier and bargain for this price.

Works well, a little noisy but blends into the room and doesn't look awful. I prefer that it is black rather than white. It is supposed to be pulled away from the wall which makes it a little awkward to find a good spot for. Simple to use and the buttons are inuitive. A bit heavy but the draw comes out seperate. I find it a little cluncky to pull out and tip away the water and am often clumsy and spill a little but that might just my cack-handedness! There is a hose to attach but I am yet to use that. Pulls a lot of water out the air and specifies the humidity level on the top. I would change a few things about the design but it does it's purpose and having bought it on sale, feel it is worth what I paid.

Standing next to the dryer with the wet clothes on it, I am surprised how much water it collected. Tank was already full and I can feel a difference while breathing. The air feels more dry, but in a comfortable way. I would say as it's in the medium price range it's a great deal as it's working very well (saying this as a Dutch German, who loves high quality for a good price) 😃

I’ve never had a dehumidifier before so I’m not able to compare it to others. I wasn’t even certain that I needed one. However, I’m delighted with the results! I should think our open plan downstairs is approximately 75 square meters. We use the machine whenever we’re in the house pottering or playing. We switch it off if we go out, go to bed or if we’re watching tv in the evening. We’ve always had little mouldy patches popping up, which I suspected were the result of often being forced to dry laundry indoors. Laundry that would previously have taken up to three days to dry in the winter without using the heating, by which time it would sometimes have a damp smell and need to go back into the washing machine is now dry within a day. The downstairs feels drier. When I walk into the house now it smells clean and dry. A few weeks ago before the dehumidifier arrived I was already using the central heating and still felt cold. Now it feels warmer despite no longer using the central heating. The sound is very much audible but doesn’t really bother me on low. The water container does fill to close to the top before the alarm goes so you do have to be very careful not to spill it when emptying it. Usually when I switch on the machine the humidity reading is approximately 75-85%, which is obviously way too high! I generally only run in until it’s down to mid 60s, which takes a couple of hours when there’s no laundry drying. I don’t know how efficient it is, but my smart meter stays on green when it’s switched on, so I’m hoping what we spend on electricity will be saved on gas from not having to use the central heating and water from not having to re wash things!

Found this is working good for me as condensation was always present on the windows and this was a good move

good value dehumidifier for our home (the ground floor about 50 sq m). like the timer and auto stop feature., and the wheels for moving it about is useful too. it looks nice in the black colour. pleased for our humid environment, to make it more pleasant., as we live by the coast and it can feel quite cold and damp without it. helps the clothes dry faster too.

I use this to dry clothes as I don't have a dryer at home. Works really well in a small room (with door closed and window shut). As long as you don't hang out too many items, on full dryer mode it can practically dry clothes in one day! If you hang out a whole load, it can take around a few days to dry. It has different noise levels which is great as you can put it on a quieter fan setting at night. It still makes quite a loud vibrating noise on any setting, but this seems to be the case for all large dehumidifiers that actually work as opposed to smaller tabletop ones which aren't effective. It was quite expensive, but definitely worth it for drying clothes indoors and removing any excess damp from a room. Good tank capacity and handle makes it easy to empty. Just be careful that you don't knock out the black plug at the back of the dehumidifier or the water go all over the floor rather than into the tank (learnt this the hard way!). One other thing to mention is that is generates quite a lot of heat as a by-product. Overall would recommend.
