Aldi's Budget Dehumidifier Fights Damp and Speeds Up Laundry Drying
Aldi's Budget Dehumidifier Fights Damp and Speeds Up Drying

Aldi's middle aisle has introduced a budget dehumidifier designed to tackle excess moisture in the home, helping to prevent damp and mould while also speeding up indoor laundry drying times. Priced at £44.99, the device is part of Aldi's 'Heat Your Home & Keep Warm in Winter' range and will be available in stores from 18 October.

How the Dehumidifier Works

The dehumidifier is designed to improve airflow, drawing excess moisture from the home to tackle condensation. It can be placed by a clothes horse to accelerate drying of laundry indoors, and it helps minimise the risks of damp and mould in bathrooms or laundry-drying areas.

According to the article, living in cramped quarters during winter can lead to excess condensation, which in turn causes damp and mould. The device offers a solution to the trade-off between using expensive central heating or accepting damp from drying laundry inside or having hot showers.

Additional Items in the Range

The dehumidifier is part of a broader range that includes a sleek, premium bladeless heater priced at £49.99 and a ceramic tower heater at £19.99. As is typical with Aldi, these items are available in-store only.

Alternative Online Option

For those seeking an online alternative, the article highlights the Russell Hobbs lightweight dehumidifier (model RHDH1061G) as a close match. Priced at £41.99 on Amazon.co.uk, it is compact and lightweight, featuring a 600ml water tank that removes up to 300ml of water in 24 hours, an auto cut-off function when the tank is full, and a defrost function for chilly winter nights.
