Product Information

My property is a standard 2 bed house, with recent double-glazed windows, which are very efficient for keeping the cold winter weather out. The problem is they’re too good! That may seem odd, but older windows ‘leak’ and therefore produce a stream of fresh air, which combats condensation. There is nothing worse than your dehumidifier breaking down just after the Manufacturer's warranty has expired. Here at Buy It Direct Ltd we want you to get the most out of your dehumidifier, which is why we offer a5 Year Warranty plan.

The ElectriQ 12L dehumidifier display has six easy to operate button, plus an LED light display that indicates the current humidity level via colour changes as follows; I suffer from Asthma, always have since birth and every year around this time my Asthma worsens. It’s due to the cooler air mixing with central heating which creates condensation and therefore mould. Mould is a huge trigger for anyone with Asthma.

What is the best time of day to use a dehumidifier?

If you're wondering how to get rid of mould in a poorly ventilated room, or trying to combat excess moisture or humidity inside the home, then a dehumidifier can be a useful tool in your arsenal. That depends on your humidity levels and what you’re trying to achieve. You don’t always have to leave your dehumidifier on, but you may want to if your damp problem is severe. Also, it can be cheaper to run them at night. This dehumidifier is one of the most common models. It is effective in removing up to 12L of water a day from the air. The device features a 1.5L reservoir tank that has an automatic shut off when the maximum capacity is reached. It comes with an adjustable humidity control feature that helps you set your humidity extraction between 40% to 80%. Also, it features remarkable features such as overflow hose pipe for continuous flow, 24-hour time for easy control, and castor wheel for portability, making it ideal for large homes and offices. Comparing the Electriq 12L and Netta 12L Dehumidifier The Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier is a popular choice thanks to its relatively low price point that makes it one of the best value compressor dehumidifiers you can buy. The main reason why I chose this model over the others is due to the LED light on the front. This light is an indication as to the current levels of humidity being detected by the dehumidifier. It uses a traffic light system of Red, Amber, and Green.

Now the most amazing feature is the clothes drying mode. If you like hanging wet clothes in the house, this device can help you a great deal. To use this mode, you just need to set the machine to its lower setting of 35% and your clothes will dry much faster. How to use ElectriQ 12L Dehumidifier A good extraction rate, however, is not the only thing you get from this electriQ 10L low energy dehumidifier. One of the machine’s outstanding features is that it has an automatic energy-saving feature. The downside is that this dehumidifier has a far lower extraction rate than most, extracting just 0.3 litres of water from the air per day. For comparison, the best in class Meaco Arete One dehumidifier can extract between 10 and 25 litres of water from the air per day depending which model you opt for. Water tank capacity is also reduced, with the Silentnight model only able to hold 0.6L of water. That means you'll be emptying the tank frequently. We get our products developed in the same factories as their branded cousins. They even use a lot of the same bits and pieces to make them too. Extraction amount: It is essential to consider the maximum amount of moisture your dehumidifier can extract daily. It can range from anywhere from 500ml to upwards of 30 litres. Small units are fine for occasional use or a small area, such as a cupboard or study. Around 12 litres is suitable for a small flat, medium-sized room or a mild damp problem. Up to 16 litres is best for a larger room or one used regularly for washing or cooking, and units with a capacity of up to 20/30 litres can be used to dehumidify whole homes.

The ElectrIQ CD10L, with the white and green colour scheme coupled with the circular holes of the outflow vent make it look quite modern and it certainly doesn’t give away its low price tag. Bringing you high quality appliances and electricals but at a fraction of the price of the big brands and we do this by using the same factories as the big brands, not compromising on quality and not adding on an extra cost for the big brand badge. So, why pay more? Timer - The appliance has a 24 hour timer which gives you full control over scheduling. You can set the dehumidifier to work overnight or at off-peak hours, for example. Let's start with the basics though. It's a refrigerant (compressor) dehumidifier with a built-in humidistat, digital display and a 24 hour timer. Weighing 9.5kg, it's considerably lighter than the 20L version, and also much smaller. The plain white design isn't going to win any awards for innovation, but it's clean and simple to use.
