Silentnight 38040 Thermoelectric Dehumidifier 600ml / Auto Shut Off / 2L Water Tank/Slimline and Portable / 70W

Product Information

This isn’t the quietest machine on our list, but the noise isn’t too distracting, so you could have it running in another room without it bothering you too much. It only has a small extraction rate of 350ml per day, so this isn’t going to work very well if you’ve got a serious damp issue. Settings can also prolong your machine’s life by lowering the power it takes to run the dehumidifier all day or lowering the amount of moisture the machine has to process at all times; machines with 24-hour timers are ideal for highly humid environments.

The best quiet dehumidifiers, however, are devices which don’t draw attention to themselves functioning silently but still effectively. I bought this item to try to improve the air circulation in a built-in wardrobe which was showing severe signs of damp. We were shocked by just how well this machine worked – we left it running in different areas of the house, and the air felt a lot dryer and clearer. When it comes to getting a great night’s sleep, the air quality in your bedroom is one of the most important factors to making sure you doze off peacefully.Operating this unit is easy – you can set your own humidity levels in 5 per cent increments, from 35 to 85 per cent, and the digital display will show the current humidity of the room, so you have a good idea of how humid it is when setting it. It has a built-in humidistat, so once it reaches your set humidity, it then switches off and turns back on when the humidity rises again.

Overall operation is virtually unnoticeable with a peak sound level of only 52 decibels (including noise added by the pump), which is comparable to a normal conversation. It’s also easy to empty and has a built-in ioniser and HEPA filter, to make sure that it pumps out fresh, clean air. The moisture pulled from the air gets collected into a drip tray, and warm, dry air is pushed back into the room. The water tank is situated at the front of the unit and there’s a small window, so you can keep an eye on the water level, but when it’s full the LED light will light up to indicate it needs emptying.The HEPA filter makes it a great choice for anyone with allergies too, as it will rid the air of dust, pollen and any other pollutants that may cause irritation. It’s a super small and compact offering that will sit neatly on any shelf or even the edge of your desk.

However, the cable is not very long so I have had to plug it into an extension lead, which is not recommended according to the instructions. Our first average we look at for Silentnight Dehumidifier is to judge it against other products from the same brand, in this case it’s Silentnight. It is heavy but not unmanageable, as it weighs around 13kg, and can remove up to 18l of water per day.In fact, for these environments, it’s suggested you give your dehumidifier a full day’s break at least once a week.
