About this deal
If you don't have too large of a damp problem, or only have a small area where you want to reduce humidity, then a cheap dehumidifier can be worth it.
Humidifiers function by adding moisture to the air to prevent dryness that can cause irritation in many parts of the body. If you’re only planning to dehumidify occasionally – for a few hours here or there in a kitchen or bathroom, for instance – you can get away with a mini-dehumidifier with an extraction rate of less than one litre. It will be cheap to buy, cheap to run and perfectly effective. The same applies if you’re trying to fight damp or mould in a smaller area, such as a wardrobe, utility room or box bedroom. 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. This part of the dehumidifying process means temperatures inside a desiccant machine can reach as high as 80°C. Adding up to 17 x 3 x 26 centimetres in overall dimensions, they do not take up all that much space. On top of that, the bags are perfectly able to hold up to 60% of their own weight in moisture (somewhere around 700 grams per litre).Choose the right capacity for the size of your space, the number of people living in it and the severity of your damp problem.
Integrated cord storage This is handy for saving space when the dehumidifier isn’t in use, and removes the risk of tripping over a sprawling cable. Dehumidifiers don’t have to be noisy, and there are some good near-silent options. They will work discreetly in your home without interfering with your sleep or work, so a quiet mode or eco mode is well worth any extra, particularly if it will save you some cash in running costs. B&M offers superb appliances of this kind from leading brands like Blaupunkt, Essence and H20 - all at excellent prices. Humidifier & Dehumidifiers

Water tank capacity is also reduced compared to the ProBreeze's super generous 1.5L tank, with the Silentnight model only able to hold 0.6L of water – which means you'll be emptying the tank a lot more frequently. You can sometimes find dehumidifiers on clearance, on sale or refurbished from retailers. Buying from the clearance section or a refurbished model can save you money. A dehumidifier is also important if you're keeping a classic car in a storage location such as a garage. For this, I recommend getting a more powerful desiccant dehumidifier though. How to Choose the Right In-Car Dehumidifier
The best permanent solution to avoid smells permeating throughout a car interior is to keep the interior clean. Air it out too on a nice day. Though not on a freezing cold day when you’ll need some snow chains.
The best dehumidifiers you can buy in 2023
I tested the Silentnight 39899 in two key areas of my home, the kitchen and the bedrooms. I found it really made a difference to reducing the condensation around my windows. Plus, the air felt fresher whenever it was running, and it did really well to help eliminate steam and fumes in the kitchen whilst cooking. However, it isn't just about your home but every other place (especially confined) where you spend your time. A good example of that would be your car. Provided you use it every day as most people do, you absolutely need a car dehumidifier to keep the air in there nice and fresh. With one of these portable dehumidifiers, you'll be able to filter the air inside from bacteria, mould, allergens, as well as chemicals like benzene, ammonia, and aldehyde form.
