Pro Breeze® 10L Desiccant Dehumidifier with Timer, Air Filter, Continuous Drainage, Digital Control Panel - Ideal for Cold Temperatures in Damp Homes, Basements & Garages

Product Information

The cheapest and smallest dehumidifiers on the market can often only extract 0.5L of water from the air per day – in many cases even less – but larger and more powerful dehumidifiers can extract up to 25L per day which can make a huge difference to your home's health if you struggle with damp issues and condensation. If you have a lot of laundry you need to dry indoors over the winter months, then we think thePro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Modeis the best dehumidifier for drying clothes fast. However, it's not perfect. A powerful extraction rate of 20L, plus that Laundry boost mode, means higher running costs. This dehumidifier guzzles 440W of energy compared to the 20L MeacoDry Arete One's 216W. What the Pro Breeze 20L Premium does offer is a more generous water tank of 5.5L compared to the 20L MeacoDry Arete One's 4.8L, although in practice we didn't find ourselves emptying the MeacoDry that much more frequently.

Large Collection Tank: Large 3L water tank automatically shuts off when maximum capacity is reached, and a continuous drainage hose is included for long-term use.

10 Litre Desiccant Dehumidifier With Drainage Hose For Cold Temperatures

This small size also allows you to be more flexible about where you place it, which could be on a shelf or kitchen counter which may not be possible with larger sized dehumidifiers. The Pro Breeze dehumidifier is versatile and can be used in a range of temperatures ranging from 5 – 32 degrees Celcius. The small size doesn't reduce its water extraction capabilities though. It's great at removing water from both cool and warm environments, due to the desiccant technology, and also includes a laundry mode. Other features include an automatic mode tosave energy and low noise output on its lowest fan speed (34dB). This means if you're looking for a small dehumidifier for your bedroom that isn't too noisy, the MK5 could be a good option.

And whilst its energy use is low compared to many dehumidifiers on the market, it can't beat the super energy-efficient MeacoDry Arete One in this regard. The Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy dehumidifier uses 220W, whereas the comparable MeacoDry 12L Arete One uses just 151W of energy, and doesn't cost that much more upfront at full RRP. The MeacoDry also offers a built-in air purifier, a larger 2.5L water tank, better laundry drying performance, and quieter operation. A dehumidifier can be a highly effective tool for improving air quality in your home, preventing mould, mildew, and damp-related issues. However, running a dehumidifier can sometimes lead to high energy bills. Here are some strategies to help you reduce the cost of using a dehumidifier in the UK: 1. Choose the Right Size:The Meaco DD8L is a compact dehumidifier, although it's not quite as small as the MK5 Classic above. With a depth of 18.8cm it's very thin, but the 35cm width means it only narrowly makes our portable category. Overall, it's not the most powerful dehumidifier you can buy, and it can't cope with high moisture levels – we found it made little difference when drying wet washing for example. However, it did a great job of clearing condensation on windows and managing moisture levels in a small bedroom when left running overnight. Energy efficient: Our energy-efficient dehumidifier has been designed to automatically shut off once it has reached your desired humidity level.

So, on the surface, it appears that refrigerant dehumidifiers would be the go-to choice for energy usage, but this isn’t true. In colder rooms, a desiccant dehumidifier will be much more efficient than a refrigerant type, despite the increased running costs. Energy consumption also varies drastically based on fan speeds. It can be further reduced if the dehumidifier has a humidistat or timer. Is It Expensive To Run a Dehumidifier?One of the great things about this model is the quiet operation. The sound level output varies between 35-40 decibels, making it Meaco's quietest dehumidifier. This is particularly important in small homes or flats, where a loud dehumidifier could be much more annoying.
