Dehumidifier running costs - best energy-saving ones you can buy now

Dehumidifiers have become a winter essential for many households across the UK who are looking to cut laundry drying time in half and help keep rooms mould and damp-free.

The gadgets are great for taking the moisture out of the air and can also work to make the air cleaner, making it beneficial for those with asthma or allergies. With soaring energy costs many are looking at ways to save money around the home, and a dehumidifier can be a cost-effective appliance, if used in the right way.

The appliances work by drawing warm air currents into its coils via a fan, the warm air contracts as it's fed through the coils and condensation is then left inside the dehumidifier. As the condensation collects it turns into water which falls into a storage tank attached to the dehumidifier, cooler, drier air is then released back into the home through the other side of the machine.
