We’ve tested dozens of dehumidifiers in real-life damp conditions, measuring their impact using humidity meters and air quality monitors, to recommend the best dehumidifiers to banish the damp and mould in your home. Although it won’t kill any mould spores, as the best mould removers and the best washing machine cleaners will, the reduced humidity will prevent it from spreading and growing. If you don’t want a big, noisy device taking up space in your home, the Pro Breeze Dehumidifier is the compact, low-cost and energy-efficient answer to your prayers.

Finally, we were impressed with the nano silver filter built into the design, which will help trap dust and allergens. You'll find more information on each dehumidifier and why our testers recommend it if you keep on scrolling. Suitable for flats and homes with up to 4 rooms, this powerful yet incredibly energy-efficient dehumidifier provides a cost-effective solution in combating damp, mould and condensation.It also comes in a choice of three colours – blue, pink and black – so, whatever your decor, it should blend in effortlessly. Not one to shrink into the background, the bright yellow and black design is probably more suited to commercial settings, but this dehumidifier can still be used in a residential property.

It’s very quiet – you’ll barely notice it’s on, especially if you have it in a family area where there’s other noise going on. However, it did a great job of clearing condensation on windows and managing moisture levels in a small bedroom when left running overnight. It’s really easy to use, too – there are no settings to get used to, just one simple button to switch it on and get it to work.The best dehumidifier we've tested, the MeacoDry Arete One is quiet, easy to use, works superbly and is very energy-efficient compared to other compressor dehumidifiers. Simple and standard, the only additional feature is that you can choose between their four pre-set humidity levels to match your and your home's needs.
