Product Information

A 12L dehumidifier is probably a good option for a "house with up to three bedrooms, that is only slightly damp, with light mould and condensation, and a relative humidifier of between 50-60%." Their primary function is to draw moisture out of the air and into its on-board tank, and that's great for preventing any damp problems, or even drying clothes more swiftly. You are undoubtedly better off buying a dehumidifier that is too big, rather than one that is too small for your space and humidity needs. In fact, a too-small dehumidifier could actually prove to be ineffective and expensive, in the wrong space. It's the best time of year to buy a dehumidifier and, if you've owned one before, the benefits are obvious. Put simply, larger models will do a better job at dealing with the amounts of moisture in larger homes, and homes with higher moisture levels (or both) – while smaller models are better for smaller properties, and those with lower moisture levels.

Discover a versatile solution: a dehumidifier equipped with five modes, including auto humidity control, sleep and fan modes, and a high-capacity compressor capable of removing 20 litres of moisture daily. Ideal for large, damp rooms, it also includes a laundry mode, a digital LED screen, intelligent indicators, an oscillating louvre for uniform air distribution, and a removable carbon filter to promote a healthier environment. One of the best options to stop condensation on windows is by using a dehumidifier. Their primary function is to draw moisture out of the air and into its on-board tank, which is not only great for preventing any damp problems but can also help dry clothes more swiftly.The moisture level and temperature inside your home also affect the size and type of dehumidifier you need," Brian reveals. "If there’s a high moisture level in your house or flat, then you’ll need a bigger size model, as there’ll be more water to take out of the air." This Vonhause dehumidifier is the perfect option for smaller homes and tight storage space. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and has an automatic turn-off feature that comes in handy when its 2L tank has reached capacity. Is it better to undersize or oversize a dehumidifier? One of the biggest contributors to moisture levels in a home is people and the daily things we all do. So think about how often you are adding to the home's moisture levels to determine the size of dehumidifier you need. If your dehumidifier is too small for the size of space, you’ll find you need to run it for long periods of time to have any effect. This makes it costly to run, too.” Johnson says.

There are lots of different sizes of dehumidifiers, with some models having a capacity of as low as 700ml, and others being able to get rid of up to 25L of water per day, as mentioned. But as we know, the decision between a 12L and 20L dehumidifier also depends largely on the moisture levels of your home. So, as a guide, Chris explains: However, for those with very damp, larger properties with up to three bedrooms, a bigger 20L dehumidifier should be used. This applies to homes with a "70-80% relative humidity, that are always cold, have lots of people in them, and have washing drying in them regularly," Chris says. This means many households across the country will face the seasonal challenge of condensation on windows.He also suggests that, whatever size your home is, if you have a moderately damp property – "with 60-70% relative humidity, musty smells, and regular mould and condensation." A 12L dehumidifier is also likely to be satisfactory. The only real disadvantages to using too large a dehumidifier in a domestic setting (too large here would be no larger than a 25-litre model) is if you have put too noisy a machine in too small a space," Michael says. “Never go more than 42 decibels in a flat for example; the noise will be too much, and you will end up hating the machine and turning it off." Temperatures across Ireland are forecast to fall below freezing over the next couple of nights, with Met Eireann warning of frost, fog, ice and mist. The size of the property is probably the most useful measurement to us when selecting a dehumidifier size, but bear in mind that people, not houses, create moisture indoors from everyday activities –be it bathing, showering, cooking, boiling the kettle, drying laundry and even breathing," says Chris.

If your humidity is too far over 60% consistently, it’s likely that there is too much moisture in the air, which of course, can lead to things like mould and mildew. This of course can have its own health consequences and may be damaging to your furniture, walls and fixtures, too. For consistent humidity levels over 60%, heading towards 70%, you're likely to need a larger dehumidifier. 3. Consider the number of people and functions in your home Special Laundry Mode: Reduce the drying time of damp laundry indoors by absorbing moisture in the air from wet clothes. There are other benefits, too. A good dehumidifier will filter dust and allergens out of the air around you, and this can be great news for asthmatics, and people who suffer from other respiratory complications. The physical size of a dehumidifier does matter," says Chris. "A 10L or 12L dehumidifier is smaller, more compact, quieter, and lighter. They can more easily be moved from room to room." Meaning a small model is most likely the best dehumidifier for a bedroom.
