Devola 12L/day Low Energy Dehumidifier, Quiet & Energy Efficient (costs less than 5p per hour) Dehumidifiers for Home, Laundry Drying Dehumidifier, Dust Filter -WHICH? BEST BUY AWARD

Features: good. The humidity level this operates at is programmable, in 5% relative humidity steps, with a good feature. (My last dehumidifier was fixed at 50%, and as soon as it sensed 51% it would turn on briefly, then turn back off at 50% As a result it would constantly turn on then off almost instantly, every minute or 2.) This one, if set to 50% will turn on at 53%, and then will turn off at 47%. So this one comes on, runs for a while, turns off and then stays off. Also the sensor is responsive. I got out the shower and in about 30 seconds the displayed humidity rose from 51% to 74%. Effectiveness: good. In the first day of use it collected 1.5L of water. My last one took a week to do this. The only downside of this is the tank is only 2L. I will drill a hole in the bathroom wall and run a drain pipe outside. Noise: it’s quieter than the last one, despite being a compressor type, not one of those ‘electric thingy’ type. It is in my shower room, about 4 feet from my bed, on the other side of a door, and I can hardly hear it. It’s not loud enough to keep me awake, or wake me up if it cycles on. Price: high. Value for money. Good. You get what you pay for. Critical comments. The power cord is far too short. It needs to be 2 to 3 times longer to be practical. The supped drain pipe is bin food. Not bad enough to be problems, but be aware. You will need an extension cable, and if you want to use the drain instead of the tank you will need to buy a drain pipe. The one I got said ‘WiFi’ on the box, with a big tick, and model is 12LWF. I assume the 12L is 12 litres and the ‘WF’ is for ‘WiFi.” It also has a WiFi logo on the control panel with a little dot next to it for a light. I can not get it to enter paring mode. The instructions just say ‘activate the WiFi function.’ OK. HOW DO I DO THAT? It’s like the person who wrote the instructions did not know so just said ‘turn it on’ without saying how to ‘turn it on.’ Edit I have had this for almost 2 months. Winter. Cold months. I drilled a hole thought the wall, and it now drains onto my balcony. No more daily tank emptying. I leave it on ‘night mode’ all the time. My entire flat no longer has damp windows. The toilet cistern is no longer dripping condensation onto the floor. The towel in my shower room is dry the next morning. I am my own landlord, so it is up to me to sort out my own damp issues. I did. I bought this.

We’ve been using this dehumidifier daily since October, and so far it’s been solid. No faults, no drama. In the UK climate, those cheap moisture-absorbing tubs are basically useless — we tried them before and they’re a complete waste of money. This machine actually does the job. It’s been running every day for months and hasn’t missed a beat. It’s quiet enough to live with, energy-efficient, and you can genuinely see and feel the difference in humidity levels. Damp air gone. Clothes dry faster. No comparison to passive tub dehumidifiers. The main downside is the water tank size (wasn't sure at beginning if we will need bigger - and yes, to run for entire day you need bigger tank without emptying the water tank that often) . On wetter days we’ve had to empty it twice, which gets mildly annoying. Another minor negative: when it’s running, it creates a slight draft and the room can feel a bit colder. Not a deal-breaker, but noticeable. Overall verdict: reliable, effective, and actually fit for UK conditions. I wouldn’t even consider going back to dehumidifier tubs — they’re trash compared to this. If you want something that works and can run daily without issues, this is a good buy.

Overall a good dehumidifier, well worth the cost, I did much research beforehand and I am happy with the product for the price, I would recommend on its function and cost. As with many dehumidifiers: the compressor sounds like a cheap fridge in an empty Kitchen so not something I would want in a bedroom whilst sleeping. Pros: •Great Auto Mode •collected more than 1L over night •around 180w on full fan and compressor •great aesthetic •great price for how it works •laundry dries in a 1 day instead of 3 (on airer) Cons • not excessively loud 46db next to the unit…but louder than my fridge • short Cable (under 2m) • cable comes out of left the side: consideration required for the plug socket you will use for it • I changed the Auto Range (+/-3) to 60 , the standard 50 makes the air a little too dry for me. • water is clear so the viewing window is not as helpful as you would think (no float ball/guide)

They say £0.05 per hr to run and they are right works a dream, our box room is now our drying room and this dehumidifier works an absolutely amazing, gets the moisture out of the clothes , the room is like an oven when you walk in, saving a fortune by sacking off the dryer in the garage.easy to move round and light weight, very compact and simple to use also. So 10/10 from me.

Nice, small, quiet but efficient dehumidifier.

Bought this unit for a small recording studio that is located outside in my garage. For the last two years the room had begun to smell with damp and excess humidity to the point where some electrics in the room started to fail. I’ve had this unit on every single day for a week and the humidity levels have dropped from 80+ to sitting just above 50%. Room feels and smells cleaner. Delighted with the results and can safely say the unit is worth every penny. Unit emits a very low fan noise which is ideal for the purpose of my room. Recorded vocals the other day with unit on and there was no leakage of sound into in-room mics. Great little unit if you don’t want something hardwired into the room and want to have something portable. Yesterday I brought it into my kitchen to dry a small load of washing which was hanging over chairs etc and clothes were dry very quickly. Highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a damp and humidity problem.

Straight forward to operate, once use to the symbols, found the dehumidifier to be very effective on normal mode so no reason to suspect it’s equally efficient on the other 2 modes. Quieter and more economical than my previous model, not too heavy to move around and has a reasonable length of main supply cable. A pleasant change to purchase a ‘British Made’ piece of equipment!
