The Duux Bora Smart Dehumidifier, available at Yimbly for £161.99 with code AUTUMN10, costs around 8p an hour to run and helps dry laundry faster, according to a busy mum who tested it.
As colder weather arrives, indoor drying becomes a challenge, and the Bora is designed to remove excess moisture from the air, speeding up drying without turning up the heating. The 20-litre model is reduced from £279.99 to £179.99, and the code AUTUMN10 takes a further 10% off, bringing it to £161.99.
How the Bora works
The Bora uses a compressor to draw air in and extract moisture into a 4-litre water tank. It includes a built-in hygrostat to monitor humidity levels and a carbon filter to keep air fresh. The 20L model runs quietly, with night mode at just 36dB, similar to a quiet library.
One of the biggest selling points is its low running cost. With a maximum power rating of 315 watts, the 12-litre model costs around 8p per hour to run, according to Sust-it’s Energy Cost Calculator, which could help households cut back on tumble dryer use and save on energy bills.
Smart features and smaller option
The Bora can be controlled via the Duux smart app, available on Apple App Store and Google Play, and works with Amazon Alexa for voice commands. Users can set timers from one to 24 hours and choose humidity levels. The smaller 12-litre Bora, without the smart app, is reduced from £179.99 to £116.99 with code AUTUMN10, featuring a 1.7-litre tank and built-in humidistat.
Alternatives include the Pro Breeze 20L OmniDry Smart Dehumidifier at Amazon, reduced from £199.99 to £179.99, and the MeacoDry Arete One 12L 2-in-1 Dehumidifier and Air Purifier at Argos for £180.
Shopper feedback
One Amazon buyer called it "a game changer," noting it dried a full load and king-size bedding touch dry within 4 hours. Another said it was "worth every penny," while a third praised its efficiency and quiet operation. However, one buyer found the app "a little confusing," saying it did not clarify humidity settings as expected.
