This Desiccant Dehumidifier has energy saving controls, allowing it to be cost effective to run, without compromising on power. This best selling dehumidifier is simple to use, and it has the ability to heat up the temperature in a room by 10-12 degrees, as it simultaneously dries the air. For super-chic design, this is the dehumidifier you need. It can extract up to 20l of water a day, with a 4l tank that shuts off automatically when it’s full, so there's no leakage. The humidistat was accurate, and there was good portability as the whole unit rolls well on carpet or hard flooring on quality castors, although it is a bit of an awkward beast if it’s travelling between floors in a property. The HEPA Filter for Fresh and Clean Air is an added benefit that comes with the Devola 20L Compressor Dehumidifier With HEPA Filter. This filter traps harmful particles and purifies the air.

In laundry mode, the machine runs for six hours, which is the average time it needs to dry a load of washing, then switches itself off to save on energy bills.” At night, switch to Sleep mode to lessen the noise, but generally, this is a quiet machine and I can’t see it causing too much disturbance. In terms of sound, I have heard quieter dehumidifiers, but it’s still fairly quiet and won’t disturb you if you’re working or need peace. And, I love how smooth the wheels are on this so it’s easy to move around. It offers a good balance between extraction capability and water tank capacity. It can pull 20L of moisture from the air a day and store it in a generous 6.5L water tank, which automatically switches the machine off when it reaches capacity, or after 24 hours - whichever comes first. You can just use one tablet, for smaller spaces, however using two tablets covers a slightly larger area of up to 25m2. Just to note, this does come with two tablets. A pitfall of this machine is that you will need to keep buying the tablets so it adds an extra expense in that regard. According to Bostik, tablets will last up to four months but this does depend on the humidity levels in the room so if your home is very humid, then you might need to top them up sooner.

The Devola 20L Compressor Dehumidifier With HEPA Filter is known for its quiet operation. At just 45dB at full speed, it is one of the quietest compressor dehumidifiers on the market. What is a HEPA filter?

Plus, how noisy is your potential dehumidifier? As these machines are on most of the day, you’ll want one that’s fairly quiet. If you don’t want to have to empty the tank, you can use the Continuous Drainage Option. This allows you to attach a hose (included) to the dehumidifier and drain the water into a sink or floor drain. This is a great feature for anyone who wants the dehumidifier to run continuously. I love the easy to use LED display and control panel which makes this feel a little more high tech and swanky. There is also a built in timer so you can have it switch off when you wish, without having to remember. Another big positive of this Bostik machine is mostly made from recycled materials, so it’s planet friendly too.

About Devola

For many, the smaller water tank will be a trade-off they’re willing to make as the unit is a nice size and won’t dominate the room it’s in. The tank itself is easy to remove, drain and replace and the unit does have a continuous drainage feature. A dehumidifier draws air through it to extract the moisture from the air and, in doing so, will draw in dust, which is why all appliances are fitted with high-quality HEPA filters, or a filter with an anti-bacterial coating, which is there to catch dust and stop it from entering the inner workings and causing maintenance problems. Extraction Rate - The Devola Low Noise Dehumidifier extracts water from air at a rate of up to 20 litres per day, working at temperatures as low as 5 degrees Celsius. Compressor appliances work best at around 20ºC, which happens to be the average UK household temperature.
