De'Longhi DEX214F Dehumidifier, dex14, 2500 W

Product Information

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. While it mainly depends on which model you choose and how often you run said model, most dehumidifiers aren't super energy-hungry. The double filtration system built in to this cutting-edge dehumidifier captures two of the biggest airborne irritants: dust and allergens. The removable allergen filter grabs hold of particles that get right up our nose - including pollen, mould spores, pet dander or even particles of some foods - protecting us from coughs, colds or any other more serious symptoms associated with some allergies. (It's so effective, it's AS-certified as asthma and allergy friendly.) And where some products like this use refrigerant gases known to harm the O-Zone layer, this model runs on R290 - a gas that's 475 times more environmentally friendly than others in its category.

Smart features So-called 'smart' dehumidifiers can be controlled via a smartphone app as well as the standard control panel. This could come in handy if you want to turn your dehumidifier on or off or adjust the settings, such as fan speed, while you're in another room or even out of the house. Keep in mind that smart models tend to be more expensive. Choose the right capacity for the size of your space, the number of people living in it and the severity of your damp problem.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. It is a very quiet unit when running, so much so that the only indication it is going is the presence of water collecting in the tank and a green display light (red when the tank is full). I would be happy to have this running in a bedroom if necessary. It is easy to move around as there is a handle built into the top and it is very lightweight, so you could change its position as often as needed, several times a day if necessary. The Delonghi DEX214F dehumidifier offers quiet operation and a range of great features, including humidistat control, laundry drying mode, LED display and filters for dust and anti-allergy. litres – medium capacity. Suitable if there are more of you creating moisture through activities such as showering, cooking and washing clothes at home, and/or your damp problem is more severe. You can sometimes find dehumidifiers on clearance, on sale or refurbished from retailers. Buying from the clearance section or a refurbished model can save you money.

Humidistat Most dehumidifiers have one of these. A humidistat monitors moisture levels in the air and adjusts the dehumidifier to maintain the humidity level you’ve selected. Some models also have a more nuanced auto setting, where the machine adjusts its settings according to its idea of the most appropriate relative humidity. Look at our test scores.

I would never recommend you use a dehumidifier to clean the air in the room as an air purifier will always be a better appliance for that specific job. That said, I was happy when I read that the De’Longhi DEX214F came with a double filter system as air filtration technology should keep out particulate matter that might damage the parts inside the unit. I doubt anyone is going to buy this dehumidifier for looks alone, but it is great to see the care De’Longhi took to make this unit look good when compared to the competition. Our Extended 2 Year Warranty from Buy It Direct gives you the reassurance that if an electrical or mechanical fault arises you won't be exposed to costly repair bills. Our dedicated technical team will take care of your dehumidifier. The DEX214F also comes with a DRY mode 👕, which is very handy for speeding up the drying of laundry as it sets the dehumidifier to run at its top speed for a short period of time.
