There are still reasons to choose a compressor dehumidifier, though. Primarily, compressor dehumidifiers are cheaper to run , which can help control energy costs. They’re also useful in hot environments where temperatures don’t drop below 15°C – but that’s not so relevant to the UK! Ecoair DC18 is a simple to use dehumidifier ideal for an up to 4-5 bedroom house or small office. It can extract moisture up to 18 Litres/day*, introducing the compact but powerful DC18 dehumidifier, which removes an impressive 18 Litres of water per day and gives the user ultimate precision via an Intelligent Control Panel. Manage humidity levels at the touch of a button and benefit from the small unit with a "big heart". Laundry mode is included to help you dry your clothes faster. Advanced space-saving design means that we can now include a 3.5L collection tank and several advanced warning and operation indicators. Extra control means that dampness and condensation stand very little chance of taking hold. Make a difference to the air that you breathe at home. This particular compressor model boasts a moisture extraction rate of 10.26 litres per day and comes with a 2.6-litre container which will need to be emptied from time to time (thankfully the unit turns itself off when full). However, a 12-litre and new 20-litre version are also available for those with bigger rooms.
Instead of having a cold surface to force condensation, a desiccant dehumidifier contains a wheel that absorbs moisture like a sponge.

Out of the two types of dehumidifier, compressor dehumidifiers are generally cheaper to run. Desiccant Dehumidifiers If the environment isn’t overly damp, and isn’t used for showering or drying washing, you can use a dehumidifier with a capacity of 14.5 L or less. This applies even in a large rooms of 100 m². In a medium room, of around 45 m², you can get away with using a much smaller dehumidifier, around 5.5 L. Severe Damp The water tank can be removed from the front of the machine. If you forget to replace the tank, an alarm sounds for approximately 10 seconds. While it’s great that the tank can be removed without moving the unit, it can be difficult to empty without spilling. Portability They work in a simple, logical way. Inside a compressor dehumidifier, there is a cold surface. When warm, damp air is drawn in over this surface, it forms condensation. The dehumidifier will then remove this moisture, meaning there’s less moisture in the room’s air. The machine also features laundry mode for drying clothes, night mode where it runs at a low fan speed with audible beeps and control panel lights switched off, continuous mode, and stand-alone air purifying mode. Running costs are stated as 3.3p / hour (that’s 4.5 cents) based on 15.32p (21.02 cents) / kWh, and do remember that in Smart Humidity Control mode it’s unlikely that it will be running 24/7 unless your home has a serious damp problem.
The room’s current RH always shows up on the display. You can reduce relative humidity to as low as 35% with the EcoAir DC18. Although you are free to select the highest setting at 80%, anything above 60% creates suitable breeding conditions for mould and bacteria. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different settings until you find the perfect relative humidity percentage that works for you. Extracting moisture in the home reduces humidity levels, protects properties, possessions and improves well being. Capable of extracting up to 18 Litres of water per day and collectable via a large internal tank (or by continuous drainage, where a hose is also included). There’s no timer on this model but presumably that’s because the machine is more energy efficient if you leave it in Smart Humidity Mode. There are two different type of dehumidifier on the market, and it’s good to be aware of which one you are buying as they can produce slightly different results. Compressor DehumidifiersThis large Vonhaus 20L Dehumidifiercan help keep the humidity at around 55 – 65% even in a large conservatory. Dehumidifiers can make such a difference to the air quality in your conservatory. If the windows are ever wet with condensation, or there is mould or damp growing on the walls, a dehumidifier will help remove to much moisture from the air. Ideally, the humidity of a home should sit between 30 – 50%. Desiccant dehumidifiers can significantly warm the air as it passes through, sometimes by as much as 10°C. This makes them a good choice for cold environments, although it does mean that running the machine requires more power and is therefore more expensive.
