Dehumidifiers 12:51 - Dec 7 with 2553 views | jeera | Need to order one really. I bought the mother a Delonghi a couple of years ago and that seems a good little machine but I wonder if anyone has experience. Hers has an ionizer setting, (Aren't those supposed to kill viruses[!?] Only for home use, needs to be slimline and tidy. Up to £150 markish. If anyone has ideas? |  |

I don't want hot air, I want something to counter some damp issue! |  |

Dehumidifiers on 13:29 - Dec 7 with 2466 views | flatlettuce | Not sure if you can get them back in Blighty but I have one of these: https://www.suntec-wellness.de/luftentfeuchter-dryfix-20-lumio Decent kit with an ionizer built in, will easily dry a room up to about 20 square metres. We had a slight issue with damp in the basement over here in Berlin, this has fixed it. |  | |  |

I am looking at yours and mr lettuce's suggestions. Thanks both. |  |

I have literally just been looking at that model on Appliances Direct. That one's a compressor and not a desiccant and that is what I am now considering, as in which is best for me. I see they both have pros and cons but haven't gone into any depth. Edit: I like flat lettuce's but don't see it available immediately here. Mr Gorm's is a good price and the size is preferable but it is rather ugly. I like the Electriq but what's it like noise-wise please? [Post edited 7 Dec 2020 14:11]

Yes I have to say I've been quite pleased with the one I bought before. Typically just as I was making up my mind you've thrown that back into the mix. Any thoughts on condenser Vs desiccant? On brief viewing a condenser seems to be the one more for an indoor environment, (as opposed to a garage etc). [Post edited 7 Dec 2020 14:16]

That's helpful, thanks. I'll have a look. I feel bad for calling your machine ugly now. |  |

Jeera....if the dehumidifier is ever going to be used in a room that's not 20C or above (i.e. not heated at times in winter) you definitely need a desiccant dehumidifier. Condenser dehumidifiers will not move much moisture in rooms below 20C. However if always heated the condenser will work as effectively as a desiccant tone. I have this: Ecoair 12L Dehumidifier, DC12, White It's been superb and going strong after just over 4 years with daily usage in winter. It can be full (12litres) in half a day if we have a lot of moisture. It has stopped all the damp problems we previously had. |  |
