Screwfix £11 Dehumidifier Praised for Banishing Condensation and Mould

Screwfix is selling an affordable household gadget that handles one of the most common issues affecting UK homes during the winter. Shoppers have said that, after being set up for just a few days, they are 'already seeing the benefits' and others have been so impressed by the results that they now have 'one in every room'.

The Unibond Aero Moisture Absorber is designed to 'prevent common damp problems such as condensation, mould and musty smells'. It claims to last for 'up to three months' and works without needing to be plugged in, absorbing moisture and collecting the liquid in its one litre tank, turning the water a vibrant blue so homeowners can monitor when it needs emptying.

One shopper said: 'I bought one of these a few days ago and I am seeing the benefits already. The moisture drawn from the air is collected, and the water collected turns blue, so it is easy to monitor. A huge plus is that it is cheaper than Amazon.' Another put: 'Excellent product, works well after a couple of days. I installed it in my summer house after getting a lot of condensation with very wet and damp weather, now dry as a bone now. I fully recommend.'

However, some users reported issues. One claimed: 'Used overnight next to windows that have condensation on. This had no effect at all. Small amount of water in the collection tank but windows were as wet as ever.' Another suggested: 'It's a waste of money. Seriously, don't bother. If anything, get the portable unit. They cost more, but they work.' A third person mentioned the blue dye from the water had stained their plug hole and tap fittings.
