We’ve checked the best dehumidifiers UK shoppers can buy this winter, from a £16.99 no-plug moisture absorber to a 20-litre Honeywell for a family home. Prices were checked on Amazon UK on 12 November 2026 and may change.
Cold snaps, closed windows and washing drying on radiators all push indoor humidity up, and that is when condensation and black mould start to appear. A dehumidifier pulls that moisture out of the air into a tank you empty, and a compressor model can also speed up drying clothes indoors. We only kept models that were in stock with a clear current price, and we say who sells each one.

Ratings are Amazon’s own customer scores on the day we checked, so treat them as a guide rather than a lab test.
Our reviews of the best dehumidifiers UK
Here is a closer look at each of our best dehumidifiers UK picks, with the price we saw on 12 November 2026, who sells it, the key specs from the listing and who it suits.
Pro Breeze Osmo Refillable Moisture Absorber, 700g tablet
The Osmo is listed at £16.99, sold by One Retail Group and dispatched by Amazon, and was in stock when we checked. It is not an electric dehumidifier at all: a 700g tablet sits above a 1.3L tank and slowly pulls moisture from the air, with no plug, no fan and no noise.
Pro Breeze says it removes up to 1L of moisture and that a tablet lasts up to 100 days, and refill tablets are sold separately. That makes it a sensible fix for a wardrobe, a small bathroom, a car or a box room where you cannot run a cable. It will not dry a room full of washing or clear streaming windows in a bedroom, so treat it as a top-up rather than a replacement for a compressor unit. The listing carries eye-irritation and swallowing warnings, so keep it away from small children and pets.
EasyAcc 1200ml Electric Mini Dehumidifier
This small electric unit is listed at £39.99, sold by Heylive.Store and dispatched by Amazon, and was in stock. It uses Peltier (thermo-electric) cooling rather than a compressor, which keeps it light and quiet: the listing quotes under 35dB and a size of 13.7 x 14 x 20.5cm.
The honest catch is capacity. EasyAcc rates it at a maximum of 400ml a day in warm, very humid test conditions, and the 1.2L tank switches the unit off when full. That is fine for an airing cupboard, a utility cupboard or a caravan, but it is far too small to solve condensation across a cold British bedroom. It also has optional coloured night lights.
Pro Breeze 6L Compact Compressor Dehumidifier
The cheapest proper compressor dehumidifier on our list is listed at £74.99, sold by One Retail Group and dispatched by Amazon, and was in stock. It extracts up to 6 litres a day into a 2L tank, has a humidity sensor with a target you can set, a 24-hour timer and a continuous drying mode for laundry.
Pro Breeze rates it for rooms up to about 15m², quotes under 39dB on the product page and includes a hose for continuous drainage. At 6.4kg it is easy to carry between a bedroom and a bathroom. If you have one damp room in a flat, this is a sensible first buy; for a whole house, step up to a 10-12L model.
Devola 12L/day Low Energy Dehumidifier (DV12L)
The Devola 12L was listed at £97.74 and in stock when we checked, sold by Big On Electricals and dispatched by Amazon. Devola states it was named a Which? Great Value dehumidifier in November 2025, and it removes up to 12 litres a day in rooms as cool as 5°C.
The listing quotes 36dB at full speed, a 2L tank with auto shut-off, a drainage hose, a 12-hour timer, child lock and a humidity setting from 30% to 80%. A coloured light shows room humidity at a glance. Laundry mode runs the fan on high continuously. The warranty is one year as standard, extendable to two, which is shorter than some rivals here.
Pro Breeze 12L/Day Dehumidifier with Humidity Sensor
With 5,726 ratings, this is the most-reviewed machine on our list. It was listed at £109.99, sold by One Retail Group and dispatched by Amazon, and was in stock. The listing says it won a Which? Best Buy for dehumidifiers in 2025.
It extracts up to 12 litres a day, has an automatic humidity sensor with a 30-80% target, a 24-hour timer, sleep mode, laundry mode and a continuous drainage hose. Pro Breeze quotes under 38dB. The 1.8L tank on this version is on the small side, so if you use it for drying washing without the hose, expect to empty it more often than the Devola or Bosch.
Bosch Dry 1000 Dehumidifier, 10L/24h
Bosch’s entry model was listed at £127.00, sold by Pattern UK and dispatched by Amazon, and was in stock. It removes up to 10 litres a day in rooms up to 17m² and is rated at just 34dB(A) in Night mode, the lowest noise figure on this list.
Instead of lots of settings it has three automatic modes (Auto, Night and Laundry) that adjust to the room’s humidity. The 2.5L semi-transparent tank stops the unit when full, and a hose is included for continuous drainage. It is a good fit for a bedroom or a home office where noise matters more than raw extraction; an optional HEPA and carbon filter is sold separately.
Honeywell 20L/Day Dehumidifier (TPFIT20L)
The Honeywell 20L was listed at £151.96 and in stock when we checked. It is the largest machine here, aimed at a two to three bedroom house or flat, and the 3.4L tank means fewer trips to the sink.
The listing quotes 40dB, rising to 44dB in laundry mode, a 30-90% humidity setting in 5% steps, a comfort mode, a 24-hour timer, a washable dust filter with a cleaning alert and a drainage hose. It comes with a two-year warranty and uses R290 refrigerant. It is louder and heavier than the 10-12L machines, so it is best on a landing or in a living area rather than beside the bed.
How we chose the best dehumidifiers UK
We started from well-reviewed models on Amazon UK and opened every product page on 12 November 2026. We dropped anything that was out of stock, had no clear buy-box price, or only showed a price Amazon flagged as higher than usual. That ruled out a couple of popular MeacoDry listings today, even though the range is well regarded, so check them again before Black Friday.
We have not tested these machines in a lab. Specs such as litres per day, noise and tank size come from the listings and the makers, and we avoid “was” prices because reference prices can be misleading. If you want help judging a discount, read our guide on how to spot a genuine Black Friday deal.
Which dehumidifier suits you?
- A wardrobe, car or tiny bathroom with no socket: the Pro Breeze Osmo.
- An airing cupboard or a caravan: the EasyAcc 1200ml mini.
- One damp room in a flat: the Pro Breeze 6L.
- A flat or small house, including drying laundry: the Devola 12L or the Pro Breeze 12L.
- A bedroom where noise matters most: the Bosch Dry 1000.
- A two to three bedroom house: the Honeywell 20L.
If you are torn between two sizes of the best dehumidifiers UK shops sell, go one size up. A larger machine reaches your target humidity sooner and then switches itself off, so it often runs for fewer hours than a small unit working flat out.
Buying guide: how to pick the best dehumidifiers UK homes need
Compressor, desiccant or Peltier?
Among the best dehumidifiers UK buyers choose, compressor models dominate: every mains-powered machine above, apart from the EasyAcc, is a compressor dehumidifier. These are the most common type in UK homes and are efficient in a normally heated room. Their extraction drops in cold spaces, which is why makers quote a minimum temperature, often around 5°C. Peltier minis are quiet and cheap but remove far less water. Desiccant machines, which we have not included today, work better in unheated garages and conservatories.
Litres per day and room size
The litres-per-day figure is measured in warm, very humid test conditions, typically 30°C and 80% humidity, so you will see less water in a cool British room. As a rough guide from the listings here, 6L suits a single room, 10-12L a flat or small house, and 20L a larger home or heavy laundry drying.
Noise, tank size and drainage
Check the decibel figure if the machine will sit in a bedroom, and the tank size if you cannot use a hose. A small tank fills quickly when drying clothes. Every compressor model on this list has a drainage outlet, so you can run a hose into a sink, shower tray or floor drain and leave it running.
Humidity control and laundry mode
A built-in humidistat lets you set a target, often around 50-60%, and the machine stops once it gets there. Laundry modes run the fan at full speed; put the airer close to the dehumidifier and shut the door to get the most from it.
Running costs of the best dehumidifiers UK
Running cost is one of the main reasons people choose the best dehumidifiers UK makers sell over a tumble dryer for winter washing. We have not measured power use ourselves, so here is what the listings say. Pro Breeze quotes running costs as low as 3p per hour for the 6L model and as low as 7p per hour for the 12L model (based on October 2024 prices). Devola says the DV12L uses 185W and costs under 5p per hour at 24p per kWh.
Those figures depend on your tariff and how long the machine runs. A humidistat helps here: once the room reaches your target, the compressor switches off and the cost drops. Running a dehumidifier for a few hours a day in the dampest room is usually cheaper than running one flat out all day across the whole house.
Black Friday tips for the best dehumidifiers UK deals
Dehumidifiers often feature in early Black Friday sales because demand peaks in autumn. Decide on the size first, then compare the live price of the best dehumidifiers UK retailers stock within that size band, rather than chasing the biggest percentage badge. Check who the seller is, whether the warranty is one or two years and whether a drainage hose is included. If a price looks too good, compare it on eBay and with the maker’s own site before you buy.
Damp, condensation and your health
Persistent damp and mould are not just cosmetic. Read the GOV.UK guidance on the health risks of damp and mould for what causes it, who is most at risk and when to involve a landlord. Even the best dehumidifiers UK homes can buy only help so much; ventilation matters too: use extractor fans, open trickle vents and wipe down windows in the morning.
Keeping the house warm also cuts condensation. If you are trying to stay cosy without heating every room, our guide to heated throws and electric blankets has some low-cost ideas.
Best dehumidifiers UK: frequently asked questions
Do I need a compressor or desiccant dehumidifier?
For a normally heated UK home, a compressor dehumidifier is usually the better choice, and the five larger mains-powered machines on this list are compressor models. For a cold garage or an unheated conservatory, a desiccant model copes better with low temperatures.
What size dehumidifier do I need?
As a rough guide from these listings, a 6L model suits one room of up to about 15 square metres, 10-12L suits a flat or small house, and 20L suits a two to three bedroom house or heavy laundry drying.
Can a dehumidifier dry clothes indoors?
Yes. The compressor models here all have a laundry mode that runs the fan at full speed. Put the airer near the machine in a small room with the door shut for the best result.
Is a no-plug moisture absorber enough?
Only for small enclosed spaces such as a wardrobe, a car or a tiny bathroom. Absorbers like the Pro Breeze Osmo are silent and need no power, but they remove far less water than an electric dehumidifier.
Where should I put a dehumidifier?
Place it in the dampest room with a gap around the vents, away from walls and curtains, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs. Move it between rooms if you have more than one problem area.
Our verdict on the best dehumidifiers UK
For most flats and small houses, the Pro Breeze 12L and the Devola 12L are the safest all-round picks, with the Bosch Dry 1000 the one to choose for a bedroom. If budget comes first, the Pro Breeze 6L is a proper compressor machine for under £75. Prices on the best dehumidifiers UK retailers list tend to move around Black Friday, so check the live price before you buy.
