Anyone bought a Silentnight dehumidifier from Lidl?

[Fakeplasticchimneyswhy]

I bought a small desiccant-type dehumidifier from the middle aisle of Lidl last week as I was planning to use it in an unheated conservatory where I have laundry drying. I already have a larger compressor-type dehumidifier that I use in the house but chose the desiccant one as it should work at all temperatures. But it barely works - I’m getting 7-8 ml of water in the collection tub per hour of running at 60-70% RH. Have tried it in a small room indoors and it’s no better. Packaging says it should extract 600ml per day so I’m getting less than a third of that. Also, it’s not giving off any noticeable heat into the room even after 4 hours of running, unlike my compressor model. Have I got a broken one or are they generally just crap?

I bought one last year and it was awful. It's not powerful enough to use in a room imo and I gave it to a friend to use in their small caravan.

I replaced it with a small meaco one that had a laundry setting. O.M.G. the difference!

Not that one, but I replaced a dehumidifier that was working great until I dropped it and the replacement was the same as yours- useless.
I returned it and bought a Currys basic one, much cheaper and it works really well.

Thank you for your replies. Still not sure if it’s faulty or just a crap product but I’m going to try to return it as I’ve still got all the packaging intact.
