electriQ Essential 12L Quiet Low-Energy 4.6p/hour Dehumidifier for Home | Smart Humidistat & Air Purifier Filter | Ideal Bedroom Dehumidifier for Drying Clothes & Bathroom Moisture Control

Really works well and excellent for drying clothes indoors.

Very pleased! Have been having a LOT of trouble with condensation/damp during these colder months in my apartment. After no real improvements with disposable dehumidifiers decided to invest in something more powerful. I am pleased with the design, it was initially what drew me away from others in terms of appearance. The system is really easy to use. You pick your desired humidity manually, they recommend around 50-55% which seems to work very well, or does for me anyway. There are two main settings, 'smart' for dehumidifiying and 'air purify' to clean the air. There is an optional light system which changes colour based on the level of humidity. I have been using the smart mode with the light system on. Within the first 24 hours my apartment went from red 80+% humidity right down to green 53%!! You are notified when the water tank is full and it is easy to drain. I was shocked by how much especially in the first few days, the unit took. The fan system at the top helps circulate the air in your environment as well as the drying of clothes, I have found it helpful in drying items on the clothes horse which I cannot tumble dry. It's not a 'silent' fan, all fans will make some noise, I found i did not notice it after a few days. I would point out the unit is a little on the heavy side, so would not recommend to someone who would struggle carrying this up and down stairs often etc. Otherwise, I'm impressed with the attractive appearance, functionality and results of this dehumidifier, would recommend. I can definitely feel and see the difference, air quality and circulation is much better!

Only on day one of use but already impressed. Very easy to use...runs straight from the box and minimal fuss to set the timer etc. The humidity sensor is very clear and simple to read and the reading is going down slowly but surely which can only be a good thing! Smaller than I thought which is a bonus and is fairly quiet...a lot quieter than the extractor fan in the bathroom, no more than a steady hum so no worries about the noise overnight. Very fast delivery too...free standard delivery and it arrived within 24hrs!

Quality product, I used initially to dry out a bathroom with a water leak. Now use it to speed up indoor washing drying time.

I am thoroughly pleased with this dehumidifier! I live in Dublin Ireland and use this unit to keep the humidity in check in my house as well as for drying laundry indoors. I am beyond happy with how well it works. I place this unit in the room where my laundry is drying and leave it on over night and it extracts an incredible amount of water and has my laundry dry by the morning. Very worth the investment. I only have to turn it on in the house a few times a week to get the humidity back down to 50%. Love this thing and hope it continues working this well in the future. I enjoy that it has the handle because I move it around from room to room as needed. Its not the quietest unit, but I don’t need it to be silent for what I use it for. Highly recommend.

Avoid! It arrived with a faulty display, which we chose to live with because the returns process was overly complicated. Worked okay for a while, with a couple of quirks, but then started leaking 8-9 months after purchasing. It’s leaked all over our laminate floor - sitting in a puddle for quite some time - and we may need to undertake the mammoth task of lifting the floor boards now to dry it out underneath :( No obvious signs of a fault - just inexplicably leaking out of the sides, even hours after turning off.

We’ve recently moved into a house with single glazing and poor insulation, soft furnishings feel damp, the house is hard to heat, windows drip with condensation and there is back mould forming. We bought this dehumidifier last week, let it stand for 24th ours as instructed and have since run in continuously for 5 days. It is taking out about 3 litres of water per day, everything feels warmer, the widows are free of condensation and we have beaten the mould. This has made a massive difference to our feeling of well being. I don’t know yet what it is costing to run but others have said about 4p per hour. Once overall humidity levels are in normal range I plan to only run it over night on economy 7. Aside from the unverified cost, the unit is quite noisy even on night mode (it doesn’t keep us awake as is in another part of the house at night as it is easy to move around but will can hear the fan), humidity levels are still high (65 to 69%) even after 5 days but they were 70% + so they are coming down slowly (the house was empty and unheated for nearly 2 years). Conclusion: it is doing its job very well and has made a big difference to our life.

Very simple to understand the setting up and it seems very effective and good value
