Product Information

The design includes anti-tilt protection, which is handy if you have pets or small children running around. And when the weather gets cold, get an electric blanket to help you keep a cosy temperature inside the house.

A traffic light system delivers a clear indication of the humidity level in your room by showing red for high, amber for comfortable and green for low or dry. It's also not as effective in cooler conditions, so for garages or unheated rooms we recommend a desiccant dehumidifier. The moisture pulled from the air gets collected into a drip tray, and dry air is pushed back into the room. Timer: The electriQ 12 Litre Dehumidifier features a built-in timer, you can set a delayed power on, or even a delayed power off setting. It also has a four litre water tank, so you won't need to empty it as often as other models (although this is smaller than the 6 litre Meaco Low Energy 20L).

It also gives you the option to set your desired humidity level, creating the perfect conditions for your space. So, while we have some reservations about the company itself, there's no doubt the CD20LE is an excellent dehumidifier. The bedding doesn't feel cold when retiring for the night, and its also fluffed up my feather and down duvet. It is heavy but not unmanageable, as it weighs around 13kg, and can remove up to 18l of water per day. The Electriq CD10L performs adequately at room temperature, but ​it can't match the best 10 litre dehumidifiers for water removal.

It also comes in a choice of three colours – blue, pink and black – so, whatever your decor, it should blend in effortlessly. Humid environments have the effect of making a room feel warmer while you’re in it, so, when a dehumidifier is working, extracting moisture from the air, it can make the room feel a little bit cooler.

This hardy device extracts water from the air (up to 12L in a day), reducing damp problems in offices and larger homes (up to 3 bedrooms). To prevent such problems, it is advisable to consider using a dehumidifier such as the ElectriQ 12L. I’m currently emptying the water tank twice daily, that’s 5 Litres of condensation going down the sink rather than in the air. Then, if the model allows, set your chosen humidity target – when it comes to inside the home, it’s generally recommended humidity levels be no higher than 60 per cent. This mode runs the unit at 35 per cent humidity and then, after six hours, switches the compressor off at 40 per cent whilst continuing to keep the fan running, which helps keep energy costs down.

While it’s not loud enough to really disturb the peace, it’s certainly not one you’d want to leave running overnight in your bedroom. We also found this a great option to place by windows, as it sucked up all the condensation that usually appeared by morning. From these two tests, we work out the average amount of water pulled from the air - we then compare these results to other dehumidifiers to generate our star rating.Another ElectriQ 12L dehumidifier feature that edges out the NETTA dehumidifier is the energy-saving capabilities. Plus, the air felt fresher whenever it was running, and it did really well to help eliminate steam and fumes in the kitchen whilst cooking. Low Energy - When compared to standard dehumidifiers, the electriQ 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier uses up to 40% less energy. While both gadgets extract 12L of water per day, the ElectriQ 12L dehumidifier is a better option when it comes to the water tank capacity.
