Compare the main types

The most common type, and the one suited to our climate, is the refrigerant (compressor) unit: a fan draws in the room's air, the air passes over cold coils so the water vapour condenses into droplets exactly as it does on a cold glass on a hot day, the droplets collect in a tank or drain away through a hose, and the air returns to the room dry and slightly warm. There is a second type that uses a desiccant material to absorb moisture straight out of the air with no cooling at all, which is preferred in cold conditions where refrigeration is less effective, but it generally draws more electricity and is noisier, and it is relatively rare in the local market. After the type, the real decision is extraction capacity in litres per day matched to floor area and humidity level together: mini units suit a single room, a wardrobe, a bathroom, or a small store room, the 20 litres per day tier suits a medium to large flat or more than one room, and the 30 litres per day tier is for whole flats or coastal homes with high humidity all year. The third decision is drainage: a manual tank is enough and simpler for intermittent use, but persistently high humidity fills the tank fast and has you emptying it several times a day, so look for a model that supports continuous hose drainage and check the product description for that option before buying. And note that this is not a substitute for an air conditioner: an AC's job is to cool the air and its dehumidifying is a side effect that stops when it is switched off, while a dehumidifier is built purely for drying and does not change the room temperature, which makes it the answer for spaces you do not want to air-condition or for winter when the AC is off.

Common buying mistakes

  • Buying a cheap mini unit and trying to dry a whole flat with it, so it runs constantly without reaching the target humidity, which means higher electricity use and a shorter appliance life while the problem stays unsolved.
  • Sizing on floor area alone and ignoring the humidity level, when the same space can need a larger capacity if humidity is high all year, as in coastal homes, and if you are unsure the next tier up is safer than the reverse.
  • Assuming every model supports continuous hose drainage, when that is a specification you have to confirm in the product description before buying if you plan near-constant running in a high-humidity space.

Frequently asked questions

How many litres per day do I need?

It depends on floor area and humidity level together. Mini units suit a single room, a wardrobe, or a small store room, the 20 litres per day tier suits a medium to large flat, and the 30 litres per day tier is for whole flats or coastal homes with year-round humidity. Measure the space that actually has the problem before setting the capacity, and do not pay for a large capacity if the problem is confined to one room.

Will this replace my air conditioner?

No, the two do different jobs. An AC cools the air and its dehumidifying is incidental, stopping when the unit is switched off. A dehumidifier is built purely for drying and does not cool the room, which makes it useful in winter or in spaces you do not want to air-condition such as store rooms and wardrobes. If you have persistent damp in one specific place, a dedicated unit suits it better than running the AC all day.

Manual tank or continuous drainage?

If your humidity is intermittent and emptying the tank now and then is no burden, manual tank drainage is enough and simpler. If humidity is very high and you need near-constant running, as in a damp store room or basement, look for a model that supports continuous hose drainage so you are not emptying the tank every couple of hours, and check the product description to confirm that outlet actually exists.
