Home Bargains is offering the PIFCO Digital Dehumidifier for £79.99, a low-cost way to cut the risk of damp and mould when drying laundry indoors during colder months. The appliance, which holds up to 12 litres of water, draws moisture directly from the air to help prevent damp, mould and unwanted odours.
Describing the product online, Home Bargains said: "Keep your home fresh and mould-free with the PIFCO Digital Dehumidifier from the Simple range. It removes up to 12 litres of moisture daily with a quiet digital touch panel and energy-saving operation."
Running costs and delivery details
The unit runs on just 230W of electricity, putting the average cost per hour at roughly 6p. That makes it a much cheaper alternative to a tumble dryer, which can cost up to 85p per hour on average depending on the machine.
Using a dehumidifier alongside air-drying laundry indoors can significantly reduce the time wet clothes linger in homes. This lowers the risk of moisture settling in cold corners as damp or mould and helps avoid musty smells in rooms.
Shoppers who order online for home delivery should note that a £3.95 shipping charge applies to UK mainland orders under £100. The fee can be avoided by making sure all items in the basket are Saver Delivery Eligible. Products bought through the Home Bargains website are typically dispatched and delivered within four days.
Other winter electrical offers
The discount store also has other electrical goods on offer this winter. These include the Open Kitchen 4 Tray Buffet Server at £24.99, which the store claims is "ideal for keeping food warm until you're ready to serve at parties or gatherings".
Another option is the Utility Hands-Free Sensor Bin, available in three colours for £34.99. The store describes it as a "hygienic and hands-free" option with a motion sensor that automatically lifts the lid.
