    Hi, I am think to buy a decent dehumdifier, house is very damp during winter.

    How does this one
    aldi.ie/en/specialbuys/sunday-5-october/products-detail-page/ps/p/dehumidifier-1/

    compare with this one
    amazon.co.uk/DeLonghi-DNC65-Compressor-Compact-Dehumidifier/dp/B000UVPOUA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408012098&sr=8-1&keywords=DeLonghi-DNC65-Compressor-Compact

    the ALDI one comes with 3 years warranty

    Based on my experience I would 100% not go for the compressor type dehumidifier for winter use. I found that they extract very little water in colder temperatures.

    This is the one you want to buy

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecoair-DD122FW-MK5-Classic-Dehumidifier/dp/B008BZVCVM/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412216710&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=diseccant+dehumidifier

    I have one of this and the entire water tank will fill overnight. Actually could not believe how much water it extracts from the air.

    I stopped using mine because of the cost of use and it just seemed to keep extracting the water.

    I'm a bit confused by you saying 'not go'. Are you saying that the Aldi unit is a compressor type?

    If the one you recommend is too expensive for you to use, what do you do now to dehumidify your house?

    If I needed a powerful dehumidifier, from the three above I would probably buy the Aldi one, provided it is not a compressor type, as you said. (and keep the receipt/instructions safe).

    Factors: 3-year warranty, trouble-free return if necessary, and higher tank capacity.

    Not your ornery onager

    If the Aldi one is a compressor type I could almost guarantee the water extraction results below 15c would be very poor. It does not state whether it is but this is very important and Aldi decided it was not worth mentioning. If would not fancy purchasing Aldi electronic for something that will be running constantly.

    Dampness is not a huge issue in my place but the RH was a little high. I was using it a little last winter but just stopped using it because because i was emptying water non stop

    The RH would drop inside buy i would shoot up again once i stopped using it. I was going from downstairs to upstairs and just got fed up emptying the water out.

    The compressor type units just use electricity with poor results.

    I have the dehumidifier i linked to and i can tell you that the water extraction is exceptional even in colder temperatures

    Worth spedning the extra on a quality item.

    I got this and it does a great job, plenty of options for saving power and takes 5 litres a day out of the air, great if you have allergies.

    I don't know the Aldi unit, it may be fine.

    That only uses 330W full-tilt. That really isnt much power consumption if it can handle a big room. Lets say a kWh is 14c. Then this costs 14*.33 = 4.62C per hour. That is not taking into account VAT, standing charge etc.

    Again if you need > 3 then things get a little hairy.

    I was recently looking into Dehumidifiers through this thread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057293609

    I'm yet to use the dimplex one I have in temperatures below 15 degrees. Jodaw I'm a bit confused with your post too :) The compressor ones are meant to be economic to run but you're saying they don't collect enough water, then you're saying the one you linked to is expensive to run and collects too much water :)

    I'm no expert on Dehumidifiers, but I have used them a lot, particularly in holiday homes. I also use one at home to dry washing in the winter. I only bought a cheap on in France for a holiday home, but as it worked really well, I bought a second one to bring home. For me, the continuous draining is essential and also I didn't want anything too big. I saw this Aldi ad, and thought this looked like a good machine.

    ^^^
    I've an Ebac model for over 10 yrs now and still going strong. It's the 'much' older model similar to this but I believe mine can hold maybe 4 or more ltrs of water. It dries clothes in a small 8ft*10ft room and you'd probably only need to empty it every third or fourth time.

    As regards electricity use - well my model is basic - two fan speeds and a dial for the amount of humidity it cuts off at. I notice that the compressor isn't running all the time so there are times when only the fan is on. As post #6 says - say it runs max (330W) at for 10 hrs a day @ 18c per KWh - that's about 60c - but of course it's less as the compressor is off at times during those 10 hrs.

    I have ebac 2850e and Trotec 75S (both compressor based), I also owned Ecoair dessicant one. For sake of my curiosity I run ebac and trotec for same period of time in same room, and trotec is way more efficient. It is not much more expensive than Aldi one and should collect 20% more water in same time. In general compressor based ones seem to better to be used in heated houses, they also in my short experience last longer. Dessicant as someone mention is unbeatable once you go below 10C, compressor ones stop working. Downside is that dessicant ones do use more power.

    Nice thing about dehumidifiers is that they are over 100% efficient heating devices, they give more heat than they take electricity in.

    At low temperatures e.g. garage, conservatory, shed, camper, caravan, summer house etc. the dehumidifier frosts up, then the compressor goes into reverse heating the coils to defrost them, then it has to cool them again to start dehumidifying and the cycle continues. Lots of power heating and cooling, not much if any dehumidifying. Even at moderate temperatures 14-16C they are rapidly losing efficiency.

    Nope, either space is heated then use compressor or space is unheated then use dessicant.

    I have the Aldi one, bought it last year and use it on a regular basis in the bathroom after I've had a shower to keep mould down to a minimum. Bathroom is usually dry after an hour or so.

    Works a charm and doubles as a clothes dryer if you need it.

    Plus the 3 year warranty is hard to beat (I've had to use the Aldi warranties for one or two items and they do honour it with relatively little fuss)

    I bought 2 of these Aldi ones also and I'm very happy with them.
    They collect water in a 20L container but you can connect them directly to a wast pipe if needed.

    I have used mine in colder rooms and they appeared to work fine but the instructions do say that they are less efficient at colder temperatures.

    From this page (last year) it is a compressor.

    "Well I've just bought the Aldi one but am now confused on the box it says it runs by rotary compressor. "


    Also, a good explanation of the difference from that page:

    "What’s the difference between a compressor dehumidifier and a desiccant/silica gel unit?

    A compressor dehumidifier uses refrigerant to create cold coils (very similar to fridges & freezers) upon which moisture from the air is condensed. This condensation then runs from the coils into the water tank at the bottom of the unit. A desiccant or silica gel dehumidifier uses a moisture absorbent material which when saturated is heated up and the moisture is released into the tank. Also desiccant/silica gel dehumidifiers aren’t affected by temperature so they can be used in low temperatures but due to the way that the material is heated up to be reused they do have a higher power consumption than compressor machines."

    I recently got a Meaco DD8L dessicant dehumidifier from boots.ie Free delivery and should be able to return it easily.

    From everything I read the desiccant type works well in the Irish climate. Much lighter than compressor type too.

    As many have previously said the different options would suit different circumstances. It really depends what is the circumstances of the OP.

    If for example you keep your home at a temperature about 15C in the winter and you are using the dehumifier to take water from the air after a shower or dry clothes then the compressor unit may work for you.

    If the machine is operating in temperature lower than this then I would go for the other type.

    I my case the dehumifier was working in an area that was a lower temperature and it would continue taking liters and liters of water from the area. The humidity would drop but i think that once then machine was not in use the humidity would balance between outside and inside rapidly.

    So i think in my case just kept taking the water from the outside air that was coming inside. I just felt it was money down the drain because the situation was not improving over time.

    I think the way to combat dampness is to have the home constatly at a decent temperature in the winter, use the dehumifier then to dry clothes or take excess dampness from the air. Then maybe twice per day open windows for 5 minutes to allow warm damp air to escape.

    A note on drying clothes:

    I found that using the dehumidifier to dry clothes would be costing me equal to or more than a decent condenser dryer.

    I have been using one of those for the last two winters,I have it at the bottom of the stairs in a 3 bed terrace,

    Takes about 3-5 liters of water out of the air over a 12hr period,10am to 10pm,plus adds some heat back into the air,

    I was getting mold showing up in the bathroom and the bedrooms,plus condensation running down the windows,

    I no longer get any mold and very little condensation,

    Costs about €30 extra on the Electricity bill for 2 months,

    The only real drawback is the noise,I run mine on medium,and it can start to grate after several hours,although it really depends on the build up of water in the house overnight when its turned on,as this will affect how long it needs to run for continuously till it reaches the set level of humidity,

    In short I would not be without it but the noise bothers the wife,oh and on that note compressor types are noisier :)

    I leave ours on all the time on the landing. Don't hear it at all once the door is closed. Do you have wooden floors? Put something under it to quieten any vibrations.

    We mainly use it for drying the clothes since our house wasn't bad for condensation. However dry air in the house makes it more comfortable and nice to live in.

    Closing the door is pointless as it won't allow the air circulate,

    it's actually the noise of the fan that's annoying not vibration unfortunately, but I can put it with for the benefits it gives :)

    Maybe what hes referring to is the fact that it takes less energy to heat lower humidity air so the net temperature with dehumidifier is more than the equivalent wattage heater.

    Hi, inthehole1, I still saw the Dehumidifier in ALDI a day or so ago in my local ALDI if you want to check out?

    But I decide to give a miss after read reviews of compressor type and non-compressor type dehumidifier.

    I have my eyes on the amazon model and hope price can go down a little.

    It certainly collects more water inside heated areas than previous gen of DD8L and 2850e, although more noisy than those.

    Might be similar to the one I got in ALDI, which works great to clear up humidity in my bathroom, but others have said these don't work great in cold temperatures, so it probably depends on the environment you want to use it in?

    +1 on the Aldi one. Does a great job drying the walls etc while operating for 1 hour while I head to work. You can set it turn off automatically after a time that suits you....Great 3 yr warranty too. Not suited for cold environments as already stated though....

    I didn't buy it after all as there wasn't enough feedback on the model for me to buy.Will keep an eye out for the other one to come back in Aldi as that had good reviews.
    I live in an apartment in an old building that's prone to damp. Now with this cold weather, drying clothes is near impossible! No dryer so we use the clothes horse all the time. Not good for dampness!

    Hey, just curious how everyone is getting on with their dehumidifiers? I've had mine constantly plugged in since this thread and have had my heater on a thermostat keeping around 18 degrees for most of the winter too. It's definitely comfortable and the build up of mould and dampness through my place seems to have ceased which is great.

    As the weather we've been having leaves no real choice but to dry clothes indoors, I've been making sure to put the dehumidifier on full blast with the clothes on a horse beside it and the back door ajar.

    The clothes get dry quicker than they ever have inside before and with a mid dry rotation could be pretty much wearable after 24 hours, it almost took 3 days before using the dehumidifier and some clothes could quite easily get a damp smell if not put in a good position etc. That doesn't happen anymore which is great.

    One question though, when I first started using it, the water tank in the dehumidifier would fill up within about 20 hours and now it hasn't filled up in ages. I don't know is that because most of the dampness has been taken out of the walls etc, or is it because of the outdoor temperature level being too low, even though it's heated in my place with the heater on?

    The counter top at my kitchen sink has been slightly damaged for years and the last plumber who came in said it would probably need to be replaced soon, but it was fine and I'm thinking it stayed ok because of the dampness, now it's began to dry out a bit and is flaking bits off, which although it may mean I'll need a new counter, it's a sure sign the dampness in my place has been mostly dried up.

    What does the percentage-humidity read-out show when it's on?

    More than likely your place is drying up, filling up in 20 hours is pretty unusual. I would have thought it would take a few days to fill.

    I bought this one back in 2013 due to buying an old damp house. It has been great and does exactly what it should. I would avoid the Aldi one and go for a proper machine as the extra expense pays for itself.
