It is recommended that you give your dehumidifier a clean once every three months. This simply requires a damp cloth to wipe the outside, but we would also consider rinsing out the water tank at the same time. To put it to the true test I tried sleeping with it on in my bedroom. I'm quite a light sleeper, so although during the day I didn't find the hum that irritating, I did struggle to get to sleep with it and ended up switching it off.

The water tank is a little awkward and fiddly to empty. It slides in and out of the base of the dehumidifier easily enough, but there is only a tiny hole from which to get the water out.
