Shopper reviews
At Aosom, one shopper wrote: “Bought this as a present for my granddaughter. Reckons she can now dry an airer full of washing in 4 hours without any of the condensation she used to get. Brilliant solution and a quarter the cost of the same with a tumble dryer. It may take longer, but the savings are well worth it.”
Another added: “Works well. Large capacity water tank. Different modes make it useful for drying clothes.”
A third person commented: “Easy to operate. It is great to put in a room to get the humidity level down perfectly. In cold, wet rooms it makes them warmer as you get humidity down. Good for drying clothes by putting it next to it. Easy to set up and works great and it's not loud and noisy.”
Some disagreed slightly, with one person writing: “A very good dehumidifier but too noisy.” Another wrote: “It didn't really work well enough for my situation. No complaints functionally though.”
