Condensation, damp and mould can be a problem all year round, not just during the colder months. That’s why we’ve pulled together the best dehumidifier deals to help you beat these common household issues.
Damp and mould can lead to a range of health problems such as asthma and allergies, so if you’ve spotted any of these issues around your home, it’s important to address them quickly. Unavoidable tasks such as cooking, showering and drying clothes can all contribute to the problem, but airing out your home by opening up windows and and doors can make a big difference, as can investing in one of our top dehumidifiers.
Dehumidifiers remove excess moisture in the air, which reduces damp, allergens and pollutants. They can also help you dry your laundry more easily, as they draw moisture from fabrics, plus they are cheaper to run than a tumble dryer. Not to mention that humid rooms can be uncomfortable, and these appliances help to tackle that.
Our tester, Joanne Lewsley, tried out a range of dehumidifiers in her own home, testing the effectiveness, noise levels and running cost of each one. Now we’ve scoured retailers’ websites to find you great deals on some of her top picks. Whether you’re looking to have one in a large or small room, there are plenty of options on offer, with deals on mini and extra-large machines available.

How does a dehumidifier work?
Dehumidifiers are all about ousting excess moisture from the air in your home, which should ease the effects of damp, whether that be mould accumulating on the walls or tackling dust mites (which thrive in warm, damp conditions).
There are actually two kinds of dehumidifiers you can choose from, depending on the conditions in your home. The first of these is referred to as a refrigerator dehumidifier, as it works by drawing moisture in through a fan before cooling it with very cold, refrigerated coils. Cooling the air creates condensation, which collects in the dehumidifier’s tank (this is why transparent tanks can be helpful). These are generally best if your house tends to be warm.
The second relies on some kind of absorbent material, which will suck up any damp from the air that way. When this material is heated up, the moisture then drips into the water tank.
