The Clayr Reusable 1,000ml Dehumidifier is available at Yimbly for £14.99, reduced from £24.99. Using the code AUTUMN10 at checkout brings the price down to £13.50, with three colours to choose from.
The product is described as offering 'silent, power-free moisture control with maximised airflow'. It requires no batteries or electricity – shoppers insert a tablet and place it in the desired space, and the product does the rest.
How the dehumidifier works
It operates using calcium chloride tablets and is said to be ideal for damp-prone areas, helping to reduce condensation, mould and odours while keeping air fresher and drier. It has a 1,000ml capacity and comes with two 450g refill tablets.
Each tablet is said to last up to 70 days. The device features a silicon anti-spill cap to help prevent leakage while allowing 'continuous moisture collection'. The plastic container is fully reusable, and with the refill tablets it is described as a 'cost-effective solution' compared to disposable moisture absorbers.
Shopper feedback on the product
While there are no reviews for the Clayr dehumidifier on Yimbly's site, shoppers have shared their thoughts on Amazon. One wrote: "The fact that it doesn't require any power is fab. Simply set it up and let it do its thing. I really like the design, too. It's nice, neat and compact, so it doesn't take up much space."
The same shopper added: "It's grey in colour, which works really well with my home decor and means it doesn't look out of place sitting around the house. I particularly like the anti-spill lid. As the unit collects salty liquid (brine) from the moisture in the air, the lid helps prevent it from leaking out if the absorber gets accidentally bumped, knocked over or moved around. This gives me a bit more peace of mind."
Another reviewer said: "I was waking up to a window full of water. Since I have this, the window is totally dry after every night. The best I could buy. I have one in the seating room, too. Thanks."
Alternative options and drawbacks
Some feedback was less positive. One shopper noted it is a "simple way to collect moisture in places your electric dehumidifier won't fit", but added: "Much slower and less capable than an electric dehumidifier." Another said it "works in smaller areas", but continued: "The only issue I had was the lid. I thought it would click and hold, but turns out it is just a soft fit and pets and kids can knock it off too."
As an alternative, shoppers could consider the Lakeland Small Reusable Dehumidifier in white for £24.99, described as an 'energy-efficient way to regulate your home's humidity'. It operates for one week on full charge and has a charge indicator light. Or at Morphy Richards, the PureFresh 0.9L Dehumidifier in grey costs £49.99 and is said to be most effective for small bedroom areas, wardrobes, closets, small kitchens, caravans, window sills and drying damp walls.
