Dehumidifier

[Haribolover]

Considering buying one. We dry a lot of washing inside-1 year old and live in Scotland! Dey outside when we can but those days aren't always that regular. Have a tumble dryer but a lot of stuff doesn't seem to be able to go in it and a few things have shrunk.

Have a modern house and doesn't appear damp from washing but wondering if it is but not seen and if it's not great for the house and we should get dehumidifier.

Is it worth the investment?

Yes, it will reduce the likelyhood of the cold areas of the house going mouldy, the house will be warmer.

Yes, they are brilliant for drying clothes as you can dry anything over them, and if you use hangers, then it minimises ironing too. I can dry 4 loads with my dehumidifier overnight if its hung properly on the airer

Yes, but don't get a cheap model. Paying over £100 is well worth the cost. Ours has a drying setting and would be bereft without it. Also live in a two bed flat with a small child.

Absolutely. We had twins in a small flat with washable nappies. Not cheap to buy but couldn't do without it now. You won't regret it!
