Tackle damp and pollutants with these discounted dehumidifiers

These energy-efficient appliances can help dry your laundry, too

(The Independent)

If damp in your home is a growing concern, a dehumidifier might have made its way onto your wish list. However, the cost-of-living crisis is also a concern. So, with this in mind, we’ve tracked down the best dehumidifier deals around.

Luckily, for those looking to invest in these often pricey household appliances, there are plenty of offers available, courtesy of Amazon, Appliances Direct and more.

If you’re wondering how they work, dehumidifiers remove excess water in the air and lower humidity levels, which, in turn, gets rid of allergens, mould, damp and pollutants. Not only are they an economical way to dry your laundry – as they draw moisture from fabrics – they are also cost-efficient (the average cost of running a dehumidifier is less than 40p an hour).

So, whether you’re looking to have one in a large or small room, there are plenty of options on offer across mini and extra-large machines.

How does a dehumidifier work?

Dehumidifiers are all about ousting excess moisture from the air in your home, which should ease the effects of damp – whether that be mould accumulating on the walls, or tackling dust mites (which thrive in warm, damp conditions).

There are actually two kinds of dehumidifier you can choose from, depending on the conditions in your home. The first of these is referred to as a refrigerator dehumidifier, as it works by drawing moisture in through a fan before cooling it with very cold, refrigerated coils. Cooling the air creates condensation, which collects in the dehumidifier’s tank (this is why transparent tanks can be helpful). These are generally best if your house tends to be warm.

The second relies on some kind of absorbent material, which will suck up any damp from the air that way. When this material is heated up, the moisture then drips into the water tank.
