How does anyone know which dehumidifier to buy?

[meateatingveggie]

I've just spent ages trying to research which one might help dry washing this winter, and I'm not usually indecisive or stupid but I'm going round in circles!

I want one that'll actually be efficient, but at the same time I don't want to go mad and spend more than I need to.

Could anyone wiser than me shed any light please?!

Meaco is often recommended. I couldn't get one at the time so have a Blyss from b&q. Don't get Blyss from b&q
I wish I had one which was either smart or could be used with a smart plug (I can turn mine off with a smart plug but to turn on there is a physical button to press, and the smart plug isn't that smart). Would be handy for running it only during cheap rate electric.

I think the best brands are Meaco and Ebac. You can buy Meaco from John Lewis and Ebac directly from the Ebac website. I have the Ebac one - bought it nearly 10 years ago. I think a dehumidifier is essential in winter in the uk.

I have one similar to this www.amazon.co.uk/Prem-I-Air-Office-Xtreem-Dehumidifier-Capacity/dp/B00IHVQ2JW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?c=ts&keywords=Dehumidifiers&qid=1662402100&refinements=p_89%3APrem-I-Air&s=kitchen-appliances&sr=1-1&ts_id=3593780031

Had it over 10 years and it’s going strong - use it in conjunction with a Lakeland heated aired to dry laundry in winter.
