Devola WiFi Enabled Low Energy Dehumidifier with HEPA Filter 20L | Smart Technology Energy Efficient Electric Compressor De-Humidifier | Handle For Easy Lifting & Portability | 24Hr Timer (DV20QHWF)

Great little machine. Highly efficient at removing water from the air. Dries my washing in hours. Quite heavy when full. I use the water for my iron as it’s ironised. Recommended

May be a bit noisy for light sleepers but works a treat!Timer on/off is a useful function.Haven't tried the app smart feature, there's no need to in my view.

This dehumidifier is quite a neat, compact unit. It is, however, rather a heavy unit, weighing in at fourteen and a half kilos. The weight isn’t much of a problem once this is unpacked and on the storey where you want it to be, as the unit has wheels on the underside. The wheels move easily on both hard and carpeted flooring types. There is a carry handle on top of the unit to help move it from floor to floor in a house. The housing is a predominantly shiny white plastic, with a matte black top and outlet/intake grilles on the back and right hand side.The accompanying manual is fairly poorly written. It’s clearly translated and rather inaccurately so – you are for example advised to “keep windows and doors short when possible” while running the machine.Despite the rather clunky manual, the machine itself is pretty easy to use. There is a clear digital display and 6 buttons – for power, timer, humidity, auto/continuous drying, fan speed, and internal drying. The dehumidifier can be used either to fill an inbuilt water tank – in which case there is an automatic cut off that stops the machine from working when the tank is full – or with a drainage hose (included) attached for continuous functioning.The latter function is a bit less effective on this machine than on another one I have. On the other machine a long hose that could be popped easily into a sink was included, but on this model the included hose is only 50cm long and has to be run downwards from the outlet on the machine – so unless you have this positioned e.g. on a worktop draining in to a sink is going to be hard to achieve.This doesn’t have a specific setting to help with drying clothes indoors, which I had expected from my past experience of using a dehumidifier “internal drying” to be. Instead, “internal drying” is a self-cleaning process allowing the unit to dry itself out, to prevent its insides from becoming mouldy – a process which takes about an hour.This does a good job of removing excess moisture from rooms, though because the continuous drainage setting is impractical for the room we have it in, we have only been using it on the automatic mode where it fills to an internal storage tank. In use, the fan is pretty quiet on the lower setting, but a bit more noticeable on the higher speed.This came in a cardboard sleeve advertising that this is a ‘Great British brand’, though in smaller print on the side it becomes apparent that this was made in China (listed as P.R.C.).

Didn't extract a drop at whatever room temperature we tried. Sent it back and got a refund without any problems. Bought a Meaco which extracts litres and works great for drying clothes.

I bought the small one and I'm very happy, it's removing lots of water, I used to wake up with 76% of humidity, now with this Devola dehumidifier in 2 hours is already at 60%!!!! I turn it on before to go to bed and sometimes after I wake up.My house is small 40m2.

Compact and nice looking and extracts 2 pints of water twice a day from our guest room that has had condensation problems. Only had it for a couple of weeks, hope it will make a difference to the damp levels

Works well a tad noisy .. tank a wee bit small overall 5 star

the item came later than it promised so if you are in a hurry dont chose it. It is very hard to return as it is very heavy so don't buy it if you are not sure. It produces cold air so not vey pleasant to use when people are around. Perfect for drying clothes
