Product Information

The one instance where you may want to use your dehumidifier in one room with the doors closed is when you have damp washing drying, as a dehumidifier can be a great tool for drying clothes. This should help clothes dry faster, and prevent the excess moisture from your laundry from spilling out into the rest of your home. Temperatures across Ireland are forecast to fall below freezing over the next couple of nights, with Met Eireann warning of frost, fog, ice and mist. This Vonhause dehumidifier is the perfect option for smaller homes and tight storage space. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and has an automatic turn-off feature that comes in handy when its 2L tank has reached capacity. Is it better to undersize or oversize a dehumidifier?

A 12L dehumidifier is probably a good option for a "house with up to three bedrooms, that is only slightly damp, with light mould and condensation, and a relative humidifier of between 50-60%." One of the best options to stop condensation on windows is by using a dehumidifier. Their primary function is to draw moisture out of the air and into its on-board tank, which is not only great for preventing any damp problems but can also help dry clothes more swiftly. The physical size of a dehumidifier does matter," says Chris. "A 10L or 12L dehumidifier is smaller, more compact, quieter, and lighter. They can more easily be moved from room to room." Meaning a small model is most likely the best dehumidifier for a bedroom. Another benefit is that a good dehumidifier will filter dust and allergens out of the air, which would be great for asthmatics or people who suffer from other respiratory complications.Put simply, larger models will do a better job at dealing with the amounts of moisture in larger homes, and homes with higher moisture levels (or both) – while smaller models are better for smaller properties, and those with lower moisture levels. Automatic Humidity Sensor: The built-in humidity sensor allows you to set your desired room humidity between 30%-80%. But as we know, the decision between a 12L and 20L dehumidifier also depends largely on the moisture levels of your home. So, as a guide, Chris explains: Condensation is water beads that form when hot, moist air meets a cool surface. This common issue manifests on windows in the colder months due to warm air from inside the home hitting the cold glass windows.

However, for those with very damp, larger properties with up to three bedrooms, a bigger 20L dehumidifier should be used. This applies to homes with a "70-80% relative humidity, that are always cold, have lots of people in them, and have washing drying in them regularly," Chris says. There are lots of different sizes of dehumidifiers, with some models having a capacity of as low as 700ml, and others being able to get rid of up to 25L of water per day, as mentioned. He also suggests that, whatever size your home is, if you have a moderately damp property – "with 60-70% relative humidity, musty smells, and regular mould and condensation." A 12L dehumidifier is also likely to be satisfactory. Automated Humidity Detection: A smart humidity sensor, featuring LED indicators, constantly observes the moisture levels within a room and automatically powers down the dehumidifier once the desired humidity level is achieved. Costs as little as 15 p/hour to run: Our dehumidifier has been designed to be energy-efficient with low power consumption.

However, 12L and 20L dehumidifiers tend to be the most popular options, so which might be the right size for you? There are other benefits, too. A good dehumidifier will filter dust and allergens out of the air around you, and this can be great news for asthmatics, and people who suffer from other respiratory complications. Costs as little as 12p/hour to run: Using an energy-efficient compressor, it removes up to 20 litres of water daily with low power consumption. If your humidity is too far over 60% consistently, it’s likely that there is too much moisture in the air, which of course, can lead to things like mould and mildew. This of course can have its own health consequences and may be damaging to your furniture, walls and fixtures, too. For consistent humidity levels over 60%, heading towards 70%, you're likely to need a larger dehumidifier. 3. Consider the number of people and functions in your home
