Challenge 0.5L Mini Dehumidifier - White

Product Information

It got extra points for having a removable air filter cover, which means you can clean out dust that gets trapped inside, and for having an easy-to-remove drip tray.

However, the power outlet on the model we tested was poorly made and we had to remove a piece of loose plastic from it.

Litre Mini Dehumidifier is said to be perfect for helping to remove the moisture from small spaces and comes complete with the ability to extract 300ml of water per day. Whether you’re after a small dehumidifier for compact spaces or need a portable dehumidifier to take from one room to another – we've got you covered. However, if you want to reduce moisture levels in a space over 15m², or have significant damp and moisture issues to combat, you'll likely need a dehumidifier with a higher extraction rate. But it was noisy when on and the design was top-heavy, which meant it tended to topple over when there was no water in it or the tray was removed. But one solution to the problem is to use a dehumidifier, a machine which extracts water out of the air to reduce humidity levels.

The water tank pulls out from the back of the machine, but you do need to remove the lid to empty it. I keep it on all the time and it extracts about a cup of water every 24hours It’s very quiet and makes only a gentle humming noise which is like a white noise helping me fall asleep too! Video reviews are another of our key bits of advice too, they’re really good for seeing a hands-on view of the product before purchasing it. It was slightly louder than most of the other products tested but made a deep whirring sound, which was less annoying than the whining buzz of some of the other models. per day extraction rate (about the size of a large glass of wine) and its water tank is also small with a 0.Argos Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as a credit broker (713206), and works exclusively with the lender, Home Retail Group Card Services Limited trading as Argos Card and Argos Financial Services, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide credit (716148). But it lost points because you can only empty the tray via a hole filled by a rubber plug, meaning it is impossible to clean out fully. As we deal with refurbished items the box the item comes in maybe damaged or may not come in its original box also please read the description as we sell graded items which is stated in the description so if you purchased a refurbished item please do not expect a sealed brand new item. But it lost points because the tray could only be emptied via a hole in the lid, so can’t be fully cleaned, and there was no way of removing the air filter cover for cleaning.

You will receive the water tank only, you will not receive the full unit and will come in a brown box. Emptying the water tank is also easy thanks to a user-friendly design that means you simply pull the tank out from the front of the machine. Although, as with the ProBreeze 1500ml, it's a shame there aren't any automatic humidity sensors so that the dehumidifier only switches on when it's needed (the MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier is our top recommendation in this respect), despite the fact it has to be left running, energy use is still relatively low thanks to its 23W energy use. If you’d prefer a static colour, just wait for your favourite one to appear and press the light switch again to hold that colour.There are 10, 12, 20 and 25L models available, and, all offer a built-in air purifier that means they improve indoor air quality in more ways than one. It was easy to use, with a slide-out water tray with removable lid which could be fully emptied and removable air filter covers. I left it running in my bedroom overnight, and although the 40dBA noise is noticable and initially bothered me, I soon zoned it out.

The main downside of its design is the placement of the power cord, which sticks out from the side the dehumidifier and rather ruins its aesthetic. According to experts at Uswitch, dehumidifiers normally use 185W - so they usually cost about 6p an hour to run. This can be a little tricky to remove, especially when it’s full, so just make sure you do it over the sink rather than by any electronics to make sure you don’t spill any water. Consider the water tank capacity when selecting a device, as larger tanks will require less frequent emptying.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. As this was the cheapest product we tested, we were surprised at how effective it was at extracting water. Damp and mould can creep into our homes during the winter months, and with the cost of living growing, many of us are reluctant to put our heating on.
