As temperatures drop, many households face problems with condensation and dampness, making indoor air quality and comfort a concern. Drying laundry indoors without the option to hang clothes outside can be a lengthy process, often taking hours or even days.
A popular solution this season is the Honeywell 12L/Day Dehumidifier, currently available on Amazon for £132.99, reduced from £139.99—a saving of 5%. This efficient device can extract up to 12 litres of moisture from the air each day and runs at an impressively low cost of roughly 5p per hour, based on electricity prices of 25p per kWh.
The Honeywell dehumidifier operates quietly, with noise levels comparable to a normal conversation, making it suitable for both daytime and nighttime use. It offers four modes, including a specialized clothes drying function that increases fan speed to speed up laundry drying.

Equipped with intelligent features such as an automatic humidity sensor, auto defrost, and an auto shut-off mode, the unit allows users to customize humidity settings easily via a digital display. The 2.5-litre water tank signals when full, but a removable hose option provides continuous drainage to reduce the inconvenience of manual emptying.
For those seeking other alternatives, the Daewoo 12L Digital Dehumidifier is available at Robert Dyas for £79.99 (down from £109.99). It features a 2.3-litre reservoir, two fan speeds, a built-in humidity detector, and portability accessories like a carrying handle and swivel wheels.
Meanwhile, Dunelm’s 12L Electric Dehumidifier costs £120 and includes dual fan speeds, a timer, child safety lock, and three operational modes: automatic, drying, and sleep. It also has an LED screen and a full tank warning system for ease of use.
Amazon customers have rated the Honeywell 12L/Day Dehumidifier highly, awarding it 4.5 stars. Praise highlights its size, user-friendly controls, quiet operation, and effectiveness in reducing window condensation. Users appreciate the fast delivery and recommend it for drying clothes and maintaining a comfortable humidity level at home.
However, some users note the noise level is higher than expected, largely due to the powerful motor, but still acknowledge the dehumidifier’s efficient performance.
This affordable and effective dehumidifier is helping customers tackle dampness and laundry drying challenges as the cold season sets in.
