Dehumidifier buying guide
A dehumidifier helps keep air dry in bathrooms, laundry rooms and damp-prone homes. Choose by room size and how you will use it.
Choose the right capacity
Capacity is usually given in litres removed per day.
Small rooms
Moisture absorber bags and compact units suit wardrobes and small bathrooms.
Medium homes
A 10 to 12 litre per day unit is a common choice for one or two rooms.
Tip
Check the conditions the capacity is measured at.
Large or very damp homes
Higher capacity units with larger tanks and continuous drain options suit bigger spaces.
Using it well
Placement and care matter.
Placement
Keep the unit away from walls and furniture so air can circulate.
Emptying
Empty the tank and clean the filter regularly.
Safety
Follow the instructions and never cover the unit.
Frequently asked questions
What size dehumidifier do I need?
Match capacity and tank size to the room. Larger or damper rooms need higher capacity.
Where should I put it?
In the room that needs it, away from walls, with doors closed.
Do moisture absorber bags work?
They suit small enclosed spaces such as wardrobes and cupboards. They are not a substitute for a dehumidifier in a damp room.
