    I've bought two of these in the past which have been rubbish. Can anyone suggest a good quality dehumidifier for taking dampness out of a wall or under a cupboard etc?

    I got an ecoair dd122 (called dd1 now for some reason) can't fault it. Costs about 200 from Amazon and it's a desiccant unit so works at lower temperatures.

    Delonghi do a very good dessicant one.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/DeLonghi-DNC65-Dehumidifier-White/dp/B000UVPOUA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543046781&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=delonghi+dessicant+dehumidifier&dpPl=1&dpID=418vcp8aWNL&ref=plSrch

    Have it for years and works very well. Will dry clothes more quickly than tumble driers.

    Dessicant dehumidifiers work better than compressor ones in Ireland. Compressor ones require a high atmospheric temperature to work well.

    Have a challenge comprrssor one as well and it's fine but there's no comparison between the two.

    Erm.... Not being funny but have you tackled the source of the dampness.

    Because this frankly is pissing in the wind.

    Yes. A leak that's now been fixed. New windows, insulation etc.

    I have a couple of those ecoair ones and they're fine, but unless the room is very damp you're not going to achieve very much.

    What do you say that, are they not worth the outlay or should I just let it dry naturally?

    Just let it dry naturally. Central heating and time will do it.
