RHDH2002 20 Litre/Day Dehumidifier for Damp/Mould & Moisture in Home, Kitchen, Bedroom, Office, Caravan, Laundry Drying, 50m2 Room, Smart Timer, White

Very efficient and reasonably compact- not the cheapest to run but certainly helps to dry laundry and reduce excess moisture in general - not too noisy either. Some reviewers had an issue with emptying the unit but I found it very straightforward- moves really well on hard floors - not great on carpet - overall very glad I bought it.

I wanted to buy a dehumidifier for a long time and I regret I haven't done it sooner . The amount of water it pulls out from the house is enormous. I also use it as I dry my laundry just leave it on the Dryer mode overnight and it's dry next morning. The water tank is massive and I can tell when it's on I can breathe better. My dog is allergic to dust mites and mould spores and been on antibiotics combined with steroids for most of his life . Since my purchase symptoms eased a bit . I cannot recclmend it enough for all especially if you have anyone suffering from the allergy it's a must have at home. It has three modes, smart option, dryer or continuous. Also three levels of extraction. It's not too loud and really I just forget its on. Timer function is brilliant but smart mode does all it needs depending on the moisture lvl in the air I want . I have a large area to cover downstairs combined living room / kitchen and diner and it manages perfectly. It has small whells so it's really easy to manoeuvre as well. Some reviews say about the water container but I haven't found any difficulty in taking it out or putting it back. It has a handle so it's easy to carry , empty and put it back. Of course if you move the machine while doing that you can spill some leftovers in the dehumidifier chamber but it's all logical to me . I think it's an excellent dehumidifier and bargain for this price.

Works well, a little noisy but blends into the room and doesn't look awful. I prefer that it is black rather than white. It is supposed to be pulled away from the wall which makes it a little awkward to find a good spot for. Simple to use and the buttons are inuitive. A bit heavy but the draw comes out seperate. I find it a little cluncky to pull out and tip away the water and am often clumsy and spill a little but that might just my cack-handedness! There is a hose to attach but I am yet to use that. Pulls a lot of water out the air and specifies the humidity level on the top. I would change a few things about the design but it does it's purpose and having bought it on sale, feel it is worth what I paid.

Standing next to the dryer with the wet clothes on it, I am surprised how much water it collected. Tank was already full and I can feel a difference while breathing. The air feels more dry, but in a comfortable way. I would say as it's in the medium price range it's a great deal as it's working very well (saying this as a Dutch German, who loves high quality for a good price) 😃

I’ve never had a dehumidifier before so I’m not able to compare it to others. I wasn’t even certain that I needed one. However, I’m delighted with the results! I should think our open plan downstairs is approximately 75 square meters. We use the machine whenever we’re in the house pottering or playing. We switch it off if we go out, go to bed or if we’re watching tv in the evening. We’ve always had little mouldy patches popping up, which I suspected were the result of often being forced to dry laundry indoors. Laundry that would previously have taken up to three days to dry in the winter without using the heating, by which time it would sometimes have a damp smell and need to go back into the washing machine is now dry within a day. The downstairs feels drier. When I walk into the house now it smells clean and dry. A few weeks ago before the dehumidifier arrived I was already using the central heating and still felt cold. Now it feels warmer despite no longer using the central heating. The sound is very much audible but doesn’t really bother me on low. The water container does fill to close to the top before the alarm goes so you do have to be very careful not to spill it when emptying it. Usually when I switch on the machine the humidity reading is approximately 75-85%, which is obviously way too high! I generally only run in until it’s down to mid 60s, which takes a couple of hours when there’s no laundry drying. I don’t know how efficient it is, but my smart meter stays on green when it’s switched on, so I’m hoping what we spend on electricity will be saved on gas from not having to use the central heating and water from not having to re wash things!

Has stopped the growth of mould on my walls and condensation on the windows in my bedroom. I love the timer settings and being able to set it off for a few hours in the morning whilst i’m at work. Only downsides are the fact that it’s a lot heavier than i expected (but it has wheels which helps), and sometimes when you take the water tray out to empty when it’s switched off, residual drippings can still flow onto the floor/base which is a little annoying. other than that this has drastically improved the damp in my bedroom :)

Brought this dehumidifier a number of months ago to try bring down the humidity level in our downstairs area. Our humidity levels were approaching 80% which can cause the area to take much longer to heat in the winter times. Our downstairs is an open plan living room, dining orangery area and kitchen totaling about 50m2, and after looking at many different dehumidifiers i decided on this one as it was cheaper to buy outright than some of the other brands and we got more money off due to black friday deal. it has certainly not disappointed us. It dries the washing on the airer in less than half the time! it has significantly reduced the condensation on our orangery lantern and bi fold doors in the mornings and there is a noticeable improvement in air quality in the downstairs. the only one drawback with this dehumidifier is the running costs, it is certainly not the cheapest one to run, but has a more reasonable initial purchase price. very happy though

So reading consumer reviews I know the Meaco Arete 20L appears to the pick of the bunch - but try getting hold of one!! (I am currently writing this in Dec 2022) So instead plumped for this one which was £90 cheaper than the Meaco and more importantly available. It arrived well packed and protected. Instructions are a little wordy but at least they are clear I suppose. Since using this the humidity in the at winter time has been well controlled. It has a on/off timer function as well as a Smart extract, Dryer and always on function as well. In terms of manoeuvrability I only scored this 3 stars - it does come with castors, so if you are using this on hard floors this would be higher, but I am using this on carpeted floors and likewise as the unit is quite low and I am 6ft, it is just easier for me to lift and shift as needed. There are 3 fan settings, the highest being quite load but strong extraction and ventilation, the lowest being more than bearable for daytime use and, with the TV, hardly noticeable however not something you could have in the bedroom overnight. I have not tried the dryer function yet - essentially in the UK come the Winter months you are best drying clothes indoors, however in a house with high relative humidity of say 60% this can take longer. That said seeing how much moisture this thing extracts during normal use I expect that this will help dry clothes a lot quicker. So if you had pinned your hopes on getting a Meaco I would recommend this unit as an alternative and at £90 cheaper a bit of a bargain as well!
