Product Information

There’s a sleep mode and storage cycle button, which also has an LED light which will alert you to which function you have switched on. As Chris Michael, Managing Director of the air quality brand Meaco says, inside the home, 'excess moisture in the air can come from drying clothes in the house, boiling vegetables, putting the kettle on, bathing, showering, open flame gas style heating, damp clothing, breathing, and the damp British weather. The best dehumidifiers can help to combat damp, mould, and mildew in our homes, extracting excess moisture from the air to maintain the ideal indoor humidity.

Pro Breeze 20L Dehumidifier (PB-08-UK) review - Which?

While a dehumidifier is sold with a power rating, that doesn’t mean it uses this power all the time. Alternatively, consider using it when your home is most likely to have high humidity levels, such as when you are showering, cooking or have the heating on. If you have more serious damp issues, then although a dehumidifier can help to reduce the problem and improve the air quality in your home, it won't prevent the damp from occurring in the first place, so it's important to get to the root of the issue. So, if you’re looking for a powerful dehumidifier with a cheaper upfront cost, the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L is well worth considering. Living in a mouldy and damp home can cause serious health issues, particularly for allergy and asthma sufferers, which include an increased risk of respiratory illness and infections.

When operating the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier, you can either leave it running continuously until you switch it off, or make the most of the built-in Automatic Humidity Sensor. And in our tests, the Arete One reduced moisture levels in damp-prone rooms in a very short period of time. So if you’re using a bucket to drain the water into, rather than a sink or drain, just be aware you’ll need to keep a close eye on those water levels because this machine does suck up moisture quickly thanks to its powerful fan action. First up, it's worth making clear that this small dehumidifier has a low extraction rate compared to many others on our list. The only downside is that at 47dB, it is between a whisper and a regular voice; it is a little noisier than its competitors, so we recommend keeping it out of the bedroom at night.

Plus, its Special Laundry Mode is the best we've tested, drying laundry far quicker than most dehumidifiers on the market.And although it can't quite compete with the MeacoDry Arete One 12L Dehumidifier on energy efficiency, it is still relatively energy efficient, especially compared to other compressor dehumidifiers in the Pro Breeze range.

Using a vacuum on the grill areas will also help to remove any dust and debris that’s got stuck inside. This is positioned at the front of the dehumidifer, and –at least on the model I tested –it’s really stiff to pull out. Its noise rating is 40dB, but as I've discovered whilst testing a number of small appliances, it's the quailty of the noise as well as the volume that determines how intrusive it will be. However, they're usually more expensive both upfront and in terms of running costs than a compressor dehumidifier, so unless you're looking to remove damp at cold temperatures you're generally best off with a compressor model. As it's name would suggest, the Simple MK3 is also very simple to set-up and operate with easy-to-use manual controls.And whilst it does have a carry handle and castors, you’re not going to want to move it around too much. Then there’s a fan button which again has a corresponding LED light so you can toggle between low and high. This Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode review puts Pro Breeze's latest launch through its paces to find out if it's now the best dehumidifier for drying clothes on the market.
