The downside is that this dehumidifier has a far lower extraction rate than most, extracting just 0.3 litres of water from the air per day. For comparison, the best in class Meaco Arete One dehumidifier can extract between 10 and 25 litres of water from the air per day depending which model you opt for. Water tank capacity is also reduced, with the Silentnight model only able to hold 0.6L of water. That means you'll be emptying the tank frequently. This size of unit is especially useful in smaller homes and flats because of its size and Quiet Mark award-winning operation. Wherever you use it, you’ll find it won’t disturb work, play or sleep. What’s more, the new model comes in a 25L variant for larger households, which isn’t an option with the ABC range. This makes it the most powerful unit in Meaco’s current range and significantly quieter than the outgoing Meaco 25L model, which could dish out up to 50dB(A).

We like how the water tank detaches from the front of the machine, so it can be emptied without moving the dehumidifier. The tank also has a convenient carry handle and a cover to prevent water being spilled. If six litres isn’t enough for you, there’s the option of using a continuous drainage system, although a hose isn’t included. When I tested the laundry function on the Russell Hobbs 20L dehumidifier to dry t-shirts in a small bedroom, it definitely sped up the drying time' said our reviewer. 'The T-shirts closest to the dehumidifier dried in 3 hours, but those further away took aboutdouble that time to completely dry'. How we test Home Dehumidifiers can solve this problem. By removing excess moisture from the air, it’s harder to cling to surfaces causing damp.

What are the main types of dehumidifier?

Yes there is an option of a charcoal filter to remove smells and volatile organic compounds from the air Automatic turn off – this setting prevents spillage when the water tank is full, protecting your home and property.The Meaco Low Energy dehumidifier is part of the company’s award winning Platinum range. It’s a refrigerant (or compressor) dehumidifier with a 20 litre per day capacity, HEPA filter and large 6 litre water tank. That extraction level may not sound like much, and this certainly isn't a dehumidifier that can cope with large damp problems or help to dry washing. But, in practice, our tests found it worked well when left running in the bedroom overnight in our tester's single-glazed Victorian terrace. It reduced the build up of condensation around windows in the morning, and the air in general also felt fresher whenever it was running. It also did really well to help eliminate steam and fumes in the kitchen whilst cooking. It's also worth considering noise levels and energy consumption before you invest in a dehumidifier. What's the quietest dehumidifier? 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.

However, if you're looking for a dehumidifier for use in a cold climate, the EcoAir DD1 Simple MK3 Dehumidifier's 1ºc operating temperature is hard to beat. Yes – it’s an excellent dehumidifier, especially for larger spaces. I don’t have the MeacoDry ABC or Inventor EVA II Pro 20L to hand to make direct comparisons but the Arete One is right up there with them in terms of performance and is either competitive or slightly better on noise and power consumption.

Home Dehumidifiers are becoming an increasingly popular choice amongst our customers who are looking to reduce their heating costs or save energy costs. Aside from the financial motivations, there is also the matter of health for people living in a potentially damp environment. We’ll detail some of the most popular reasons people buy dehumidifiers for the home.

And, whilst this Russell Hobbs number is cheaper upfront, running costs are higher, with the 20L dehumidifier using 440W of energy compared to Meaco's 20L Arete One which uses 216W on average. Plus, the Arete One offers a built-in air purifier which this model does not. We know of customers who have tried all sorts of solutions to remove humidity in their property before finding the solution with the MeacoDry ‘ABC’ range. Giving you great value for money, it combines excellent performance with low energy costs and super-quiet operation, giving you the best of all worlds.The only maintenance required is to clean the filter every couple of weeks. This ensures airflow isn’t restricted and dust is being collected from the air. Meaco recommends using a vacuum to clean the filter. Water Tank The advantage of the size, drying power and capacity is that the Arete One can dehumidify larger areas than your average 10-12L dehumidifier. I’ve had it working on an upstairs landing and a large downstairs hallway, and in both cases, it did a solid job of controlling humidity and drying out areas affected by damp or mould, although in these sorts of environments you need to leave it running for longer periods to make an impact.
