The best dehumidifier deals to shop now
Here's a shot of me testing the Wood's 22 dehumidifier
Are dehumidifiers worth the money?
I asked Lucy Searle, our Content Director and a homes and interiors expert if a dehumidifier is a worthwhile investment: "I’m lucky enough to have a sizable laundry room, but it is windowless, with no heating. So, I've had a series of dehumidifiers over the years, which I've found not only at least halve the time needed to dry washing, but which banish that damp, musty smell and, to a degree, heat the room while they are running," she says.
"I've not only used my Meaco Arete (available here at Amazon) consistently throughout the winter for drying washing, I have also used it to dry out my car when it flooded, and my home office when we had a leaky roof. I'd highly recommend a dehumidifier, particularly if you don't want to spend out on a tumble dryer or if you don't have space for one."
As you would expect from an expert in dehumidifiers and hunting down home bargains, Lucy recommends you wait for sales to find the best bargains – the John Lewis sale being a trusted source for discounts.
What to look for when buying a dehumidifier
The key to shopping dehumidifier deals successfully is to shop for the best model for your space and purpose. For instance, if you're lucky enough to have a large laundry room, you'll have the luxury of choosing a larger appliance, while if you're searching with a worry of what size dehumidifier, you'll likely be looking for a far smaller model. The best dehumidifier for a bathroom might need to tackle odours, too while also being a dehumidifier that is good for drying clothes. Similarly, if you're shopping dehumidifier sales to dry out your home after a flood, you'll want the biggest, most powerful model you can afford.
How do you know you're getting a genuinely good dehumidifier deal?
One of the benefits of visiting a page like this is that I will be monitoring the prices of dehumidifiers throughout the year, even around now when it's close to the end of the year and dehumidifier prices are stubborn.
The main reason I continuously monitor prices is that some retailers will make dehumidifier deals and sales look incredible, with a large percentage taken off the RRP. However, if the dehumidifier was originally overpriced, you could still find a better discount or deal elsewhere.
As a rule, price cuts on dehumidifiers sit at around 20-40% off the original RRP, so if you see a dehumidifier deal that offers 50% off or more, you can be fairly sure it's a solid bargain. Before buying, check and compare the size, capacity and features of the dehumidifier. If you know you’re looking for a family-sized dehumidifier, and you see a deal that offers this for around £100 or less, you’d be lucky to snap up the deal before it ends.
When is the best time to get a dehumidifier deal?
Right now, Black Friday is live, which means there are some big deals on dehumidifiers. Normally, I'd recommend buying them out of season, but we're about to be in peak demand for dehumidifiers, so sales like this are important to take advantage of.
Are Black Friday dehumidifier deals worth waiting for?
Black Friday is a brilliant time to nab a dehumidifier deal and it's still right now in the form of Cyber Weekend deals. Last year, I saw the Swan Dehumidifier reduced by 50% and nearly £200 off Wood's expert dehumidifier over the whole sale event.
Are Prime Day dehumidifier deals any good?
Amazon Prime Day is a great time to pick up a good dehumidifier deal, but they'll look a lot like the prices on offer for Cyber Weekend, which is right now. Don't hang around though - deals come and go pretty quickly on events like this.
Are dehumidifiers cheaper on Cyber Monday?
Last year, the Cyber Monday deals were just as good as Black Friday's sales, with hundreds of pounds of Wood's, and Swan's models. The only downside was that stocks completely sold out of Meaco before we were through the weekend, so you're playing a risky game if you do choose to wait.
What is a good price for a dehumidifier?
Outside of sales, dehumidifiers range vastly in price, from as little as £40 for one that's around a litre/day in size, to around £100 for a 12 litre/day family-sized model, to £1,000s for industrial dehumidifier models (see them at Amazon) that are often sold, instead of by litre/day, by air volume or the room's square metreage.
Generally, you are paying for the capacity of the dehumidifier, measured in litres, and you'll need to work out damp levels versus the size of the room to make the right purchase. For example, mild dampness in a small space will be more easily solved than in a larger space.
As a rough guide for a small laundry room with wet washing to dry, look for a 7-litre dehumidifier; a larger laundry room, on the other hand, will benefit from a 12-litre model upwards.
