B&Q's Black Friday event has reduced the TCP Smart White Portable Dehumidifier to £98 from £160, a saving of £62, with running costs of just 5p per hour.
The unit lets users set their own humidity levels and track progress through a transparent water level indicator. It offers three modes with two speeds and includes a HEPA filter to remove impurities from the air.
Energy Use and Noise Levels
The dehumidifier runs at 185W, which the sust-it energy calculator estimates costs 5p per hour to operate. Its advertised noise level of 36dB is quieter than a fridge, which runs at 40dB.
Smart WiFi connectivity allows remote monitoring and control through the TCP Smart App, and it is compatible with Alexa and Google Home. Users can manually empty the tank when full, with the machine automatically shutting off for safety, or choose a continuous drainage option.

Shopper reviews of the TCP Smart unit are largely positive. One buyer said: "I bought this because of the wet weather and the difficulty of drying clothes on outside clothes line.

Another commented: "Bought this product in the Black Friday promotions and it's absolutely brilliant. Works really well, great quality for the price and makes drying clothes so much quicker."
A third reviewer noted: "Since using this, there is zero condensation and my windows are now bone dry. Would thoroughly recommend this dehumidifier!"
