Product Information

First things first: the Meaco MeacoDry Dehumidifier is how I would imagine Apple making a dehumidifier, especially in the late 1990s. For the sight-impaired, please allow me to describe this thing with words alone. For starters, imagine a white popcorn maker that’s had it’s top lopped off two-thirds of the way up.

As Chris Michael, Managing Director of the air quality brand Meaco says, inside the home, 'excess moisture in the air can come from drying clothes in the house, boiling vegetables, putting the kettle on, bathing, showering, open flame gas style heating, damp clothing, breathing, and the damp British weather.' You’d think all of this sophistication would come with a high-end price tag, but their pricing is actually very reasonable considering the sheer excellence of this particular product. Whatever your reason for wanting to cleanse the air of your home, it couldn’t be easier than with this bathroom dehumidifier. Thanks to the humidity button, it’s super simple to set a chosen humidity and monitor it through the display. What’s more, you can direct the air flow by selecting the swing function. Introduce the 1100ml dehumidifier into your life today and enjoy a cleansed, damp-free home. This nifty device boasts a range of features, designed to make use super simple and safe. But first, the question on everyone’s lips… WHAT DOES A DEHUMIDIFIER DO? So, if you’re after the smallest dehumidifier on the market, we think the Russell Hobbs RHDH1061G wins the accolade of best small dehumidifier, with good all round performance for its size housed in one of the smallest builds on the market – along as you don't expect too much from that 0.3L extraction rate.

Tips for positioning your dehumidifier

The De'Longhi Tascuigo AriaDry DEX216F is the largest model in the range and able to extract 16L of water from the air per day, and although the tank capacity isn't the largest, at 2.1L it still offers adequate capacity. This multi-purpose appliance also has an air purifier function with a double filtration system that can remove dust and other allergens from the air, plus a dedicated Laundry Drying function. It can't quite beat the MeacoDry Arete One on overall performance, but if you're willing to put up with noisier operation and higher running costs in exchange for its powerful performance, then this Pro Breeze model will make short work of getting wet washing ready for the airing cupboard. The 24-hour timer allows you to set the dehumidifier to operate for the exact length of time you need. this energy efficient feature is ideal for drying clothes.

The larger units are best suited to larger rooms, but we’ll keep them all here for the sake of easy comparison. All models come with a two-year warranty. There is a reason VonHaus consistently gets into these best-of lists. The modern design and impeccable engineering in their products shows that making top-tier electrical appliances is their passion . It really does come through in their products; you can tell they care about making their appliances the best they possibly can. One thing of unique importance for dehumidifiers is the size of the tank. A dehumidifier with a large demoisturising rate becomes a hindrance if the tank with which water is captured is insufficient in size. Determining how frequently you want to use your dehumidifier is of paramount importance in this regard. Heating controls are made to improve your user experience. If well utilised, it will save you energy, time, and money. It will also protect you from potential safety hazards. Below are some of the controls you should utilise. 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.

Multifunctional

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. Most buyers overlook these aspects. Remember, different products have different advanced features, which only the manual can fully explain. Dehumidifiers will typically have an alarm (like an iron, for example) that will alert you to the fact that your dehumidifier has reached (or is near) its tank capacity. It is our firm recommendation to view dehumidifiers with this safety feature with particularly high regard. During our testing process we found it really easy to use and operate, and our reviewer loved the Smart App connectivity (something few dehumidifiers offer) as it gave her a lot more control over how she could use the machine, saying 'the in-App experience is fantastic, the menus are really clear, and changing the settings is simple'. With a minimum noise level of 30dB (and maximum of only 50dB), this electric dehumidifier will effectively de-dampen your space, without you even noticing it’s there! Not only is this useful for peaceful daytime use, but it makes those humid summer nights a lot more bearable as well.
