Lowers Humidity to Improve HealthHigh-performance dehumidifier technology removes excess moisture and prevents mould forming in smaller rooms with poor air circulation. Lowering humidity improves the respiratory system and helps combat allergies by eliminating common triggers such as dust mites, mould and mildew. A balanced moisture level protects the home from long-term structural damage and improves comfort indoors. This unit also uses activated carbon charcoal pellets to reduce unwanted odours for a cleaner, healthier home. | 2.5 Litre Water TankBoasting a large 2.5 litre water tank, the dehumidifier is able to extract up to 12 litres of unwanted moisture a day to keep your home free from condensation. Once the tank reaches its full capacity, the device automatically turns off to avoid leaks and spillages. | 4 in 1 FunctionalityWith two speeds and four preset functions, the dehumidifier offers an abundance of ways to protect your home. Normal or continuous dehumidification modes will collect moisture throughout the day and prevent condensation from forming. The dry clothes functionality will effectively air out your garments without the use of harsh heat expelled by tumble dryers. A ventilation mode exhausts trapped moist air out of the room to help reduce humidity and improve air circulation. | Save EnergyThe unit consumes a low amount of power to save energy and money, costing as little as 35p per day to run (based on a 12-hour day using the average rate of 14.37p/kWh for a unit of electricity). |

Effective
Good purchase, works really well. Just noisier than I would have liked or expected.
impressed by how much water it collects
I recently purchased the Black+Decker dehumidifier and I am extremely satisfied with its performance. It effectively removes moisture from the air and has made a noticeable difference in the comfort of my bedroom. The compact design allows for easy placement in any room. The noise level is minimal, making it perfect for use during the night.
dehumidifie
bought this for caravan, excellent for small areas eg, cupboards
Good compact unit for keeping humidity under control.
I have this unit on all the time, using the humidity control. Normally set to either 60% or 65%
With this setting, It does not come on that often now. with other measures in the home also to keep humidity under control.
My main issue with this model is the water bucket. It is fiddly to remove when full. I guess a trade off for the shape and size? but I have seen others that have better collection methods.
It dehumidifies.
The gadget works, i just wish the writing on the top for the mode labels wasn’t light grey on slightly-lighter grey. It can be hard to see what mode it’s in.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent extraction rate
Had it running all night in the bedroom and emptied out 2 litres of water but it was a little noisy. Clothes drying modes is also amazing.
Neat and tidy looking, easy to work and empty, has different settings depending how damp it is, has a night mode to dim the lights although it’s a fairly loud hum and drives me and the kids insane (husband could sleep through a train crashing into the side of the house!) so we do end up turning it off overnight. But it’s kept the windows free of water ever since. Love it.
It is ok
Easy to pick up and move around. It is noisy, constant fan noise. Does work but not very efficiently. Don’t know why it has got such a big tank as it would have to be on for months to fill it. Would not buy again.
Works Well!
We bought this to help our clothes dry in the conservatory. Works well! We’ve bought a few others at this price point and felt this one performs the best out of all of them. It also just looks ‘nicer’ and higher quality.
This dehumidifier is great!
I am chuffed to bits with this dehumidifier. It’s brilliant to put on next to my clothes driers when you have to dry inside. I have really noticed how it keeps the damp out of the air and off the walls.
Would highly recommend.
I’ve had this now for a couple of months and it does a brilliant job. I had to empty it twice a day when I first got it, but now I just empty it once a day. We had damp in our kitchen due to a leak in the roof. This helped quite a bit and it hardly uses a lot of electricity. It costs me a few pence an hour so this is well worth the money.
It’s also quiet with just a soft humm from the motor.
Sucks up water like a vacuum cleane
Firstly, the item looks smart and modern. With it’s caster wheels it’s easy to move around. Instructions are clear if printed very small. Mainly it does what it is supposed to do…absorbs moisture. When we first used it we had 89% humidity! After less than a week it is down to late 60 s when turned on. It does help to dry the laundry too. Don’t know the running costs, but we use it for approximately 3 – 4 hours each day. Windows appear to have less condensation and the bungalow feels warmer and less damp. So far so good.
Great Dehumidifie
Does exactly what it’s supposed to and is pretty compact. You can set target humidities and even has a clothes drying function (which I’ve not tried yet). We’ve had a few issues of waking up to windows dripping with water, especially when cooking a Sunday lunch while it’s cold outside. This has totally sorted the problem.
So impressed with this! We live in a 70’s built semi and get a lot of condensation, plus dry clothes inside over Winter, so get issues with mould on walls when it’s cold/damp. When we turned this unit on, our humidity level was 89%! Within a few days of using it (24 hours for a day or so, then 8-12 hours since) we have a consistent humidity level throughout the house of 55%! It’s quite loud but we just run it in the day, or downstairs at night. We’ve removed close to 40 litres of water from our house so far! When we have washing out, we put it right next to the unit and it seems to dry in half the usual time. A great buy at a reasonable cost!
Easy to use. Shows temperature and humidity levels on display. Very useful if drying washing indoors as it helps to keep moisture levels down. Only downside is that it is quite noisy. Good for the price and a trusted brand.
We live in an old house with dampness issues, especially in our main bedroom due to old sash windows.
We bought this to help make living there more comfortable. It is noisier than our old ‘passive’ dehumidifier, which was nothing more than a PC fan and a heatsink in a plastic case; this is an ‘active’ dehumidifier with a refrigeration unit inside.
The difference is like night and day. The amount of water this extracts from the air is fantastic. It lowered the humidity from 86% in our bedroom to just 64% in just over an hour, removing about one litre of water from the air.
I used it yesterday to dry clothing, two clothes airers fully loaded at the top of our stairs, with a separate fan to move the clothes around; it took about 6 hours of operation during the day and left off overnight, and the clothes came off the airers dry enough to finish off in the airing cupboard this morning.
Love it.
With the current energy crisis hitting hard it has been challenging to manage the washing for our very active family which includes 4 school children and a dog.
Our vented tumble dryer was in use for 3 loads a day (minimum) and based on the current price of electric we estimate would cost a whopping 1,500 per year to run! During the summer months the washing line had bagged us the savings, but the concern was that we would have to resort to the tumble dryer in the winter or use radiators which in tun would create excess moisture in the house and also impair the central heating system. After investigating alternatives, we thought we would give a dehumidifier a try and created a “drying room” in airing cupboard.
The 12 litre Black & Decker works wonderfully well and is drying everything we throw at it while adding some warmth to the house and keeping the condensation at bay. Clothes feel nicer, show less wear and retain more of the smell of the washing products that ever before.
I estimate that it will cost a maximum of 34 p/m to use which is much more palatable than the 125 p/m for the tumble dryer.
If you share our problem, then this could be a solution for you.
Since the weather has turned cooler, we have been waking up to horrendous condensation on our bedroom windows. They are old windows without vents, we have the windows locked on ventilate but at night we have to close them as it gets so cold. I bought this dehumidifier on Wednesday and when I turned it on it it said the humididity in our home was 85%! I’ve had it set on the high fan setting with a target humidity of 50%. The lowest I’ve seen it manage to get to was about 65% which is great. It managed that in about 24 hours. This morning (day 2) the tank was completely full of water! I’ve just emptied it and put it back in and the humidity is now at 75%.
I was dubious about spending this amount of money but when I saw white mold on the back of our headboard I knew I needed to do something. We set this dehumidifier up on Wednesday night, Wednesday morning the windows looked like the photo I’ve shared ( completely covered in condensation), then Thursday and Friday morning the windows were bone dry. I can’t believe how well it’s worked. It’s absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend.
Simple to use and works well dehumidifying a relatively small space but is very loud even with the fan set to low.
4.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up
Yeah excellent little item. Does heat the room up a bi
Excellent machine
Just does exactly what it says it will. Pretty quiet, very powerful and not as much of an eyesore as some others with similar capacity.
The thing about this one that’s better than the others is the fact that you can leave it on all night and because it’s got a big tank, it’ll still be happily working away when you awake to your condensation-free home.
Brillia
Brilliant, gets so much moisture out of our rooms, worth every penny!!
Did the job
Drying plaster upstairs and downstairs hall, home has poor ventilation so could not allow the wet air to cause damage to other rooms etc. always a bit of a risk with dehumidifier and drying plaster walls but this did amazingly and no cracks from walls. We will continue to use this in rooms with damp issues. I guess it’s a midrange power unit , good thing too otherwise we might have some cracked walls! Overall, very happy
Very effecient for clothes drying
We are using the unit mainly in a small bedroom with doors and windows closed for drying clothes. We have been using the dehumidifier for around 3 months now and are very pleased with the results. Energy wise much cheaper than using s tumble dryer with the added benefit of not risking clothes Shrinkage.
Brilliant produc
Great product works very well discreetly hides in a room easy to empty
Does the job! So good I bought two :)
We had a water leak from the bathroom into the dining room below and needed to dehumidify quickly. Weather has been warm so humidity levels were almost at 80% in this room, these units were extracting 6 litres of water each per day effectively and humidity has now reduced to below 50% they have been very effective and my walls, ceilings and floor have dried out nicely ready for renovation work to commence.
Also double up as air cleaner, feels a bit like aircon and has a clothes drier mode for the winter.
Low energy use according to my smart meter too which is a bonus!
It’s brillia
I’ve removed litres and litres of water from my moderately sized room. No more mould or smell. It’s extremely satisfying to see it collect all the water! Display is extremely useful too to monitor the humidity. Only complaint is that it’s a bit loud but I’ve learned to live with it.
Using for the last 3 months. This review is for 12L.
I had my doubts after seeing some of the reviews but the deal was too good to pass. Also most negative reviews were for smaller variant. So bought it anyways and am happy i made the right decision.
Pros:
Not very loud at slow fan speed.
Easy to setup.
Does the job well even at low temperatures of 15C.
It’s running 24/7 and hasnt increased my bill much, i think its increased by around 7 to 8 pounds may be less. I keep the humidity settings at 55.
Really worth it if you dry clothes indoor or do a lot of my cooking.
Cons:
Difficult to remove the water reservoir sometimes.
No child safety buttons; so my kid used to keep messing up the settings but thankfully now he has got bored from it.
Conclusion: definitely worth the money!
Pleased with performance of this dehumidifie
Easy to use, compact and works well for its size. Very effective for reducing humidity in bedrooms and while drying clothes inside.
easy to use, cheap to ru
POWERFUL DEHUMIDIFYING: High performance dehumidifier technology eliminates damp, mould and moisture in the air, ideal for rooms up to 15 sq m and smaller spaces such as closets, wardrobes and cupboards
LARGE WATER TANK: Capable of extracting up to 12 litres of unwanted moisture a day with its large 2.5L water tank, which can be removed for easy drainage and cleaning
4-in-1 FUNCTIONALITY: Choose between four preset functions to tackle evaporating moisture in the air
used in the conservatory as i was getting a bit of damp in there, ,was surprised at how much water it pulled out of there
worked out it was using 4p a day
It works effectively.
No longer have any condensation problems in my flat. Worth it to stop damp and peeling walls.
Good dehumidifie
I have found this dehumidifier works fine in a medium sized shed where it has and still is working well. It doesn’t take us much room and is very light and easy to use.
Good dehumidifie
Great stuff. Definatley saving money in heating bills and helps dry my clothes
Great dehumidifie
Excellent Black and Decker dehumidifier removes so much moisture and has reduced condensation in the house. Excellent item.
Excellent product.
Works really well, is reliable and does exactly what is says on the tin!!
Excellent product for cold spaces
Excellent product, I struggled to find a dehumidifier that works in my garage because it is so cold out there but this model has worked wonders. Highly recommended.
Small compact grea
Love them bought for my holiday home and they work really well
Small and compac
Small and compact. Has worked well at reducing damp in wall. Not noisy eithe
Works grea
Im not sure why the are bad reviews for the 2l model. I haven’t had a problem. It has reduced humidity drastically to in-between 46 and 52 from 65-78% ( and that was with an extractor attached). So this dehumidifier works better than that. But then again I’m using this in a grow tent, so it’s a smaller space than a room. So im happy with it. Only negative is it isn’t quiet but it isn’t loud. Its as loud as a fan i guess. Just to note, I had to give it more than 24 hours of use for it to reduce the humidity.
great moisture removal
20l machine bit noisy on max fan but pulls the moisture out of the air really well. the clothes drying function drys most clothes in 24 hrs.
I ordered the smaller 900ml dehumidifyer. I have room approx 5m x 5m so was slightly worried it wouldn’t be a big enough model. But after a week of use it’s done a great job! I use it in my bedroom, it’s on 24/7 and after a week it extracted around half a tank of water. In the morning, on occasion there is still some condensation on the windows but not as much as before. Myself and my partner feel alot better in the mornings now and have has less sniffles and coughs since using it. The unit can be quite heavy once full, as I leave it on the floor in the corner of the room it can be quite tricky to pick up, would be great if there was a little handle or indent in the top/ side to help pick it up. Takes two hands to pick it up. It’s fairly quiet, although just took me a couple of nights to get used to the noise, now I don’t hear it. Overall, perfect for a small room and a great price for a decent brand.
There are several reviews here for different models which makes this hard to understand what it is you are buying into given the 2ltr version has some terrible reviews. I had some doubts this would be as good but I took a chance and prayed Amazon’s Customer service would not fail me if it turned out to be crap. I’ve been using a DEM10 for probably going on 8 years now but the current house we are in may be a bit much for this unit alone so opted for this model, obviously an entire house is far to much for a single 20l unit but it helps reduce the humidity if placed in specific areas. We now have one unit upstairs, one downstairs. This 20L model has proven to be amazing, the 6l bucket takes about a day to fill up, the machine is about a noisy as the DEM10 I’m using and extracts double of what the DEM10 can, this is probably helped by the fans just being 100% more powerful moving more air and this was on low setting, although high does not feel much higher, maybe a 20% boost. 2 days on and the house has been a solid 50-56% humidity for the last few days and we usually been resting at 65-75% with just the DEM10 alone.
Grea
The humidifier is actually alot bigger then i expected it to be I’ve tried several before and they are tiny compared to it still not too bad atleast it looks good and is already assembled and good to go the wheels make it easier to move around i have wooden floors so deffiently makes it alot easier for me
Price is affordable and it has various modes, holds 2.5L water tank which is removable so makes it easy to drain and clean
Pretty straight forward to use has auto use aswell so gives you that peace of mind all around good product really impressed
Really works well!
I am seriously impressed by this machine as I’ve only ever used a cheap de-humidifier. I put my clothes to dry in the spare room and normally have to leave all the windows open. The machine tells us to shut doors & windows to conserve energy. It’s easy to set up – having made sure that you’ve left it for 24 hours to ‘settle’ first, like a fridge.
I went into the room after about 45 minutes – and the air was dry and clean. There was no condensation at all on the windows, and my laundry was drying a lot more quickly than it normally does (even on a heated airer). The tank had clearly taken a lot of water out of the air.
I have left it on for the last few hours. I would say that drying time has halved. In addition to this, the machine is protecting my window frames and wallpaper which were getting bubbly and mouldy. (This was on the ‘dry’ setting)
I thoroughly recommend this appliance. It loses 1 star because I really think it could do with a gauge so you can see how much water is being collected. It does shut off when it gets full, but I think it would be useful to be able to see how far off that is!
Essential for winter with fantastic performance.
Quite heavy but wouldn’t do without it this winter. This dehumidifier is brilliant. It’s compact and solidly built. I must say it’s also not the quietest, but it’s one of the relatively quiet ones. With background noise, such as TV and kitchen appliances or a washing machine, you can hardly hear it. the noise just blends in. comes ready to use and assembled. Love the wheels as they make it much easier to move around.
It draws water from the surroundings like magnet drawing iron powder and the capacity is great. The LED screen is very easy to read. I have been placing it near my laundry as the weather gets colder and it’s helping clothes dry so much quicker than without. I also use it near the windows to draw out condensation and excess water. I switch it on for about 4-6 hours each time and I feel a big difference.
It is very stable on the floor, easy to use and easy to empty and clean. Would recommend it without hesitation.

ideal for smaller rooms
Impressive water extraction from the air from a relatively compact machine that packs in a lot of features considering the size.
Capacity for 12 litres of water, 2m plug to keep it powered on with an array of settings to tweak humidity ratio and keep your room damp free. This unit is ideal for smaller spaces and any areas prone to damp like utility areas, bathrooms or the kitchen. It is quiet running, not easily disturbing even left on overnight.
I was able to assemble it within 15 minutes without any help from my hubby. Instruction is included makes assembly a breeze.
I have a finished basement with some humidity I wanted to keep in check, which got worse when I had guests showering down there. I picked this unit up expecting to need to empty it every week or so. In 60% humidity and set on “comfort” mode, it’ll fill up every 12 hours. 1.6 freaking gallons of water pulled out of fat air in only 12 hours! Amazing how well it works, so now I need to figure out how to plumb it in so I don’t have to constantly dump it the hard way. The reservoir isn’t too easy to remove or set back in place due to the tight fit, and each gallon is around 7.5 lbs, so consider the weight if you plan to empty it daily. Doesn’t bother me, but I wouldn’t buy this for my grandma.
Nothing against this product, but I’d like to add a simple way to collect the water and filter it for drinking. I’m dumping water down the drain from this unit, then paying the utility company for water to drink. It would be amazing if I could pull off combining the two. Just something I didn’t think of until after the purchase.
The bucket is decent size so I don’t think I would need to empty the water every so often in case I am away. The dehumidifier has roller options so I can move it around the house without dragging it across the room. The machine itself is not too heavy anyway. There are illuminating buttons on top of the machine (see pictures) so I can adjust it at night. I put it on comfort mode and run it 24/7 for the past 3 days. I know is working properly because it won’t be on at all time. It just keeping it at the humidity level that I set. Another thing I like about this dehumidifier is that the filter is washable, and it shows you alert when filter needs to be cleaned and if water is full so I don’t need to put out the bucket to check or forgot about emptying it. The machine itself is not too noisy compare to other that I had seen. I am getting another one for the basement too.
This cube like tower packs a punch in performance but also noise.
This was the second one received as the first one though made same noise didn’t remove moisture from the house. (The front horizontal light strip stayed red and didn’t change to green as it should once the machine has done it’s initial sensing of humidity about a minute ).
Customer service was fine and within a week or so I got the correct replacement device so I was able to do the review of it.
The settings are extensive and can go as low as only 30 percent humidity if you like the room very dry.
There are choices of low fan and high but even the low setting is very noisy.
This isn’t going to be suitable for areas where extraneous noise is a problem such as music studios or home recording areas or sleeping areas.
But the performance is very good and I see the price is not high for such a device. I removed about a bucket full which is several litres in the course of the day and the room started at 59 percent humidity and decreased by about 5 percent. The instructions say with continuous use it will perform better. So this first whole day of use will be the start of at least as good if not better performance! I know of course once it’s been running a while the overall humidity of the house will be less and so it won’t have to work so hard to get it down to chosen level. I chose 45 percent and it hadn’t reached that by bedtime but we have pets and I wouldn’t have wanted to subject then to that racket overnight. So it’s for day use only in my opinion.
I could have run it earlier but they say not to use it till a days standing upright in case topped in the delivery process. There is cooling agent inside which like in fridges and freezers must settle.
You can have continuous draining with a tube provided but it’s not very long so I’m not sure where it would reach. I think it is so it can go in a clear bottle next to it and then you would be able to see clearly and easily when to empty it. It would have run all day without needing emptying though I think. And it’s shuts off if full. You are warned by an alarm and light if you don’t push the drawer back in fully.
I’m giving it 4 stars as it’s so loud but gives high performance and is a reasonable price. (I didn’t buy it but I’ve paid similar or higher for air treating devices and I’d buy it at this price).
Compac
This is a very small and compact unit which has enough power to use in an average sized house, will pull up to 12 Ltrs a day, digital display and easy to use settings. Very easy to empty or or you can have it on direct to drain and never have to worry about it being full.
Not to sure the clothes drying option is any use as it did not dry mine but maybe you have to hang above for better results which then limits the amount you could dry.
Overall it is very good.
This dehumidifier is fairly hefty, but fortunately comes pre-assembled and on wheels.
It has various modes, but I ran it in clothes drying mode. After 6 hours running next to a clothes drying rack, the clothes felt considerably more dry, and the unit had extracted around I’d estimate 1.5 litres of water, since the 2.5L reservior was more than half full. Dropping detected humidity from 65% to 46% in that time.
Compared with a cheaper, smaller unit I have, this is pretty incredible, since that unit would extract less than 1 litre in 24 hours and only reduce humidity by about 2-3%.
If you have a damp cellar, or other room in the house, or you need to dry clothes but don’t have a tumble dryer (e.g. in a flat), this really could work wonders. Absolutely would recommend this unit.
Dehumidifie
This dehumidifier is the perfect size for my kitchen. It fits neatly under my counter top and takes up roughly the same space as a large kitchen bin.
