Pro Breeze Dehumidifier 500ml Compact and Portable Mini Air Dehumidifier for Damp, Mould, Moisture in Home, Kitchen, Bedroom, Caravan, Office, Garage, Bathroom, Basement

Product Information

As the air cools, the water vapour condenses on the cold surface of the coil and this is collected in a water container. The beauty of a desiccant dehumidifier is not only that they are typically quieter than compressor models, but they are ideal for smaller, unheated areas such as conservatories, campervans, garages, boats and cellars. They’re also fantastically efficient. PORTABLE - Our Schallen 500ml dehumidifier is compact and portable, making it easy to move from room to room. Unlike a compressor dehumidifier that passes air over a cold coil to condense the water from it, a desiccant dehumidifier uses a 'desiccant chemical' to absorb the moisture from the air. As a result, desiccant dehumidifiers are the best option for rooms that are likely to fall below 15°c, as at lower temperatures compressor and Peltier models can struggle to work efficiently.

This dehumidifier is very compact, measuring just 25.5 x 16 x 16 cm, so it should be easy to find a place to put it even in a small bedroom. However, this will depend on the quality of the build, with many being made from cheap components to keep the cost to the customer as low as possible. Dehumidifiers are often placed in living areas and may well run for long periods, including overnight. In these cases, a noisy machine can be an irritation and disturb your sleep, so your choice of dehumidifier may be influenced by the noise it makes. The DD8L Zambezi is an example of a desiccant dehumidifier. These models often have lower capacities but work best in cooler environments.At full power, this dehumidifier puts out 25 dB. So, whether you’re trying to sleep, study or work, it won’t disrupt you.

Overall, if you can put up with its increased noise volume and absorb the higher running costs, we think thePro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Modeis a good buy. It's definitely the best dehumidifier for drying clothes that we've tested, and anything that makes wet-weather laundry days easier is a win in our books. If you need a solid dehumidifier that has both a compact size and offers the functionality of full-size models, we highly suggest taking a closer look at the LONOVE Electric Desiccant Dehumidifier. Rather than being a compressor or a desiccant, the ProBreeze instead uses peltier technology, similar to that used in some mini fridges, to cool water vapour into water. It’s much quieter than the other methods. Clearly, setting a lower fan speed will reduce the noise level but that also limits what the dehumidifier can do. When manufacturers quote a noise level this refers to the noise level at the lowest speed setting, so in practice the dehumidifier will often be louder.

Dehumidifier Types

Small & Compact: Lightweight, Compact and Portable – Capable of removing up to 250ml of moisture per day with a 500ml water tank capacity. What we also like is that the device is relatively quiet. Its noise level doesn’t go higher than 33 dB. Thus, it shouldn’t cause any inconvenience to you or your housemates. Most dehumidifiers can dry laundry in a few hours, with the average being about 3 to 4 hours. However, this isn’t a fixed number. These models certainly have their uses, as they are generally reliable and easy to use. They are also lightweight and use minimal energy. All that said, the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L dehumidifier still impressed our review team during testing. So, if you’re looking for a powerful dehumidifier with a cheaper upfront cost, the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L is well worth considering.

As for the dimensions, the size of this compact humidifier is 22.2 x 15.5 x 12.9 cm, so it won’t take too much space on the bedside table or office desk. It is also relatively lightweight, which means that you will be able to move it around with ease.Lastly, there's extra functionality to consider. The best dehumidifiers you can buy offer a Smart mode. That means you can leave the dehumidifier running and its sensors will detect the humidity levels and switch the machine on and off to keep humidity within your desired range. That saves energy (and money) as the appliance isn't running if it doesn't need to be. Tumble drying clothes uses heat which can mean clothes feel rough and rigid, and can even shrink them. Drying your laundry with a dehumidifier can result in your clothes feeling much softer.
