It struggles in cooler temperatures though – like most refrigerant dehumidifiers. For this reason, we don’t recommend it for garages or conservatories. There are other EcoAir dehumidifiers better suited for these conditions. Home Size Dehumidifiers can make such a difference to the air quality in your conservatory. If the windows are ever wet with condensation, or there is mould or damp growing on the walls, a dehumidifier will help remove to much moisture from the air. Ideally, the humidity of a home should sit between 30 – 50%.

Automatic restart– the machine automatically restarts using its previous settings if there is a break in power.

Which? Overview

Dehumidifiers with an LCD display can be easier to use and understand than those without. They can display information like the current humidity level, as well as allow you to see what you’re setting the humidistat to.

The only issue with this timer is that it might be more useful if there was one longer period available, like eight hours. The DC12 comes with a “Touch Button” control panel and basic LED display. We’re not sure why EcoAir describes this panel as “Intelligent,” but it’s simple to use and provides all the information you need at a glance. We would have liked to have seen a more advanced display for monitoring humidity, but considering the price range it does the job.A side effect of this difference in capacity is that the DC12 is 2dB quieter. This might not sound like much, but remember that the decibel scale is logarithmic so this is a noticeable difference. The DC12 is also 2.5 kilograms lighter so it’s easier to carry. Summary This large Vonhaus 20L Dehumidifiercan help keep the humidity at around 55 – 65% even in a large conservatory. This British family-run company makes both compressor and desiccant units and this is its award-winning flagship compressor model.It’s not the prettiest of appliances, granted, but you know what's uglier?
