NETTA 12L/Day Low Energy Dehumidifier - Digital Control Panel, Air Filter, Continuous Drainage, Auto Restart, Timer, 1.5L Water Tank - For Home & Office, Damp Mould Control, Laundry Cloth Drying

Product Information

The Netta 12L dehumidifier offers a massive 12L extraction rate. This is truly unprecedented at this price point, we are yet to find this extraction rate in other dehumidifiers at the same price. If you are looking for a powerful dehumidifier that won’t bust your wallet then this could be a solid option.

Dehumidifiers are proving exceptionally popular this year and our top-rated airers may temporarily sell out. These are currently the best places to look for alternatives: This model has a touch button digital display complete with humidity level reading as well as an adjustable humidistat. Simply select your desired level and leave the dehumidifier to do the rest. The adjustable fan speed helps to speed up the process, while the four-way castor wheels and carry handle make it easy to move this dehumidifier from an area of your home to another. Dehumidifier manufacturers have started to update their older models or create new ones using refrigerant gases with less of a global warming impact, such as R290. If you buy an older second-hand model, it may use a HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerant that can be a potent greenhouse gas if leaked.The "Laundry Boost mode", brings added power to the dehumidification process, and makes it perfect for dealing with wet clothes in a confined space. Continuous-drain facility Many dehumidifiers allow you to connect a hose and flush the collected water away to a low-level drain. This will save you having to empty the water tank, or prevent the machine from getting full and switching off if you're not around to empty it. Note that dehumidifiers with this function often don’t come with a hose in the box, so you’ll probably have to buy it separately. If you want a dehumidifier of a similar power and price point, the slightly more expensive ProBreeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier remains our best budget buy, offering a better extraction rate of 0.5L and a larger 1.5L water tank, which means you won’t be emptying it quite so frequently. That said, the ProBreeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier is also larger in size, measuring H30 x W22 x D16cm compared to the Russell Hobbs' H22 x W14 x D14cm frame. And, the ProBreeze 1500ml is twice the weight, weighing in at 1.85kg. This dehumidifier could be used in very small rooms, provided the humidity level isn’t too high. Due to its size, be aware that it will take some time to bring down your humidity level, so if you have a serious damp and mould problem, this model will probably not suffice. It's also worth considering noise levels and energy consumption before you invest in a dehumidifier. What's the quietest dehumidifier?

Having it on the front means you have to squat down much further to see what it says and to adjust the settings.... Dehumidifiers are the best way to reduce humidity in your home and many are cost effective and energy efficient. They range from bathroom dehumidifiers to compact ones for your car and even ones you can control from your mobile phone. Small dehumidifiers are ideal for flats or smaller spaces, while the bigger models can dehumidify a five-bedroom property or a small business space. The only downside with this one is the placement of the digital control panel. You'll notice others on our list have their displays on the top. There's a reason for this...

However, thePro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier does win on price, coming in a fair bit cheaper than the MeacoDry Arete One. When you’re looking for a new dehumidifier, choosing an energy-efficient model will allow you to use it as needed – without worrying about the cost of your electricity bill. The Dex 16 is the best low energy dehumidifier thanks to an optimised compressor that minimizes energy use. However, like all these products it has a continuous setting. So you can just switch it on before bed and leave it running throughout the night. Finally, at 260W it's pretty economical in terms of power consumption.

While this is an excellent mini dehumidifier choice, you should bear in mind that it is really only suitable for confined spaces or at the very most, a small room. You may like to use it in your utility closet, bathroom or student accommodation. It would also be a good choice for your caravan or garage to prevent damp. Although, wherever you’re thinking of using it, you may need an extension lead as the power cord is a little short. While this budget dehumidifier has a transparent tank that’s easy to remove and empty, the capacity is just at 1.5 litres. If you have high humidity levels, you’re likely to end up having to empty it a lot. Additionally, if you’re planning to use it in multiple locations around your home, you may want to make sure that you have a spare extension lead as the power cable is on the short side. A dehumidifier's size or capacity describes how many litres of water it's able to extract from the air each day (which is different to the water tank capacity). Dehumidifiers for homes range in capacity from seven to 25 litres. Recently we came across a product we hadn’t seen before, the Netta 12L Dehumidifier. When we saw how positive the reaction to its release had been, we had to take a look. We did some research and some testing, and the results were very positive. If you are worried about high running costs, choose the Meaco,” says Chris Wood. “It has a control system that can reduce your energy consumption by up to 80 percent compared to other dehumidifiers.”At 53cm by 40.5cm by 29cm, this Ariston model is about as big as a carry-on suitcase. And it has wheels so you can move it around your home easily. DESIGNED FOR UK CLIMATE - Specifically developed with specifications to handle the unique demands of British weather, the Meaco 20L dehumidifier with... Our trials showed that moisture absorbers won’t do much to reduce damp in a room that’s routinely used for drying laundry. So moisture absorbers can help with small day-to-day damp issues, but shouldn’t be relied upon for any serious damp-busting. The Pro Breeze is great if you’ve got a smaller space and you want something that doesn’t cost a lot to run,” says Kandola. “It’s probably about a penny an hour.”

Perhaps the best-looking dehumidifier on our list, the Midea Cube is only a foot tall when collapsed for storage but extends upwards in use to hold 11 litres of water. That’s about three times more than traditional dehumidifiers and means you need to empty it less often. Another option is to just use the top half and run its hose into a sink or drain so that you never have to empty it at all. Ariston is a brand you've probably heard of and they've been making electric water heaters and appliances since the 1960's. 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. Whilst we don't think it can quite beat the MeacoDry Arete One on overall performance, Pro Breeze's latest launch, the 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode, is the best dehumidifier for drying clothes that we've tested. That's as long as you don't mind accepting noisier operation and higher running costs for its powerful laundry-drying performance. 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.Of course, the easy answer is to buy a tumble dryer and be done with it. However, even the best heat pump dryers can be really expensive to run. If you're living in rented accommodation, it's both an added expense and hassle when you move. Some other things which should enter into your decision are whether a dehumidifier has an adjustable humidistat to let you choose the target humidity for the area, a digital display, a multi-speed fan and an automatic shutoff (when the collection tank is full).
