BLACK+DECKER BXEH60002GB 2L Dehumidifier with Air Purifier, White

Product Information

Most of the products we have looked at here are inexpensive small dehumidifiers from lesser-known brands. The Arete One from British brand Meaco is higher in price, but much higher in quality. What isn’t so obvious is that temperature can affect your decision. This is because desiccant and refrigerant dehumidifiers work better in different conditions. With that said, it’s possible to get a rough idea of a dehumidifier’s running cost before you buy. The aim of this article is to give you a general overview of running costs so you can budget for your new dehumidifier. According to learnmetrics.com, a dehumidifier uses between 300 watts and 700 watts of energy per hour, depending on size and efficiency. That’s not much - more than your fridge but less than things like kettles and hair dryers. What's the best dehumidifier to buy? Whilst this dehumidifier doesn't offer a specific laundry drying function, we still found it helpful at drying wet washing, although it took longer to do so than the MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier or Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode which both offer a speedy dedicated laundry-drying boost mode.

Although the EcoAir DD1 is somewhat noisier than the models reviewed above at 32 dB, it’s more powerful and can extract up to six litres of moisture a day at the highest setting. That depends on your humidity levels and what you’re trying to achieve. You don’t always have to leave your dehumidifier on, but you may want to if your damp problem is severe. Also, it can be cheaper to run them at night. This data is based on running the dehumidifier for 12 hours a day at the listed wattage. If you only need to run a dehumidifier for 2-4 hours per day, which is common once a baseline humidity has been established, the energy costs (per day or week) are likely to be lower. If you need to run the dehumidifier for 24 hours per day until the humidity is brought down, then the costs will be double. All dehumidifiers are rated in Watts (W). This is the amount of power the dehumidifier uses, which is another way of saying the amount of energy per second the dehumidifier requires to run. The higher the power, the more energy the dehumidifier will use.Keep it running all day long and the costs could mount up, but this is an excellent dehumidifier for situations where a refrigerant model just won’t work. To take advantage of this great offer just simply add the warranty extension you want and we'll do the rest.

Fan speeds: Some dehumidifiers have just one speed for continuous drying, limiting your control. Whilst others have up to three, which is advantageous if you want to adjust it for faster drying or put it on a lower (and possibly quieter) setting.It’s important to do get rid of your dehumidifier in a way that isn’t harmful to the environment. If sent to landfill, it could release the refrigerant into the environment. In some models, particularly older ones, these can be HFCs, which are greenhouse gases. Just like the MeacoDry Arete One, as well as an impressive extraction rate the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L dehumidifier has some great features, including an easy-to-read LED screen that displays current humidity levels and a useful Smart mode that monitors the humidity levels for you, turning the dehumidifier on and off as soon as it rises above the recommended home humidity range between 45%~55% for more economical (and hassle-free) use. There's also auto-shut off functionality when the water tank is full. If you’re running a dehumidifier, keep the door to the room the dehumidifier is in open, so that air can circulate through your home. But close the window, so that damp air outside – which will migrate towards drier spots – isn’t drawn to the drier air indoors.
