The reservoir on the front of the dehumidifier features a small window which is supposed to help you gauge how full it is, but I struggled to see through it.

In terms of noise, the Russell Hobbs version is louder than many other top-rated dehumidifiers at 47.5dB. I began testing the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L dehumidifier by using the Continuous mode after I'd been in the shower to help clear the excess humidity in my flat. As the dehumidifier requires connection to mains electricity it obviously isn't safe to use in the bathroom itself, however, I positioned it in the small room facing the bathroom so it was safely away from any splash risks.

I found the dehumidifier was pleasantly quiet compared to cheaper version I've used in the past. However, it does give off a low-level hum which I could hear down the corridor.

This simply requires a damp cloth to wipe the outside, but we would also consider rinsing out the water tank at the same time.

When you’re spent a bit of time looking at the prices, consider setting yourself a budget.
