Dehumidifier reviews

In hot humid summers and cold wet winters, a dehumidifier can help fix a damp dwelling. We lab test and review dehumidifiers to help you find the best one for your home. 

• We explain what a dehumidifier does and whether your home could benefit from having one.
• Find out what the difference is between dehumidifiers, humidifiers and air purifiers.
• Check our tips on protecting your home from damp, moisture and mould.

Most dehumidifiers can perform well enough in hot humid conditions, but our rigorous testing sorts out which ones operate best in challenging cold conditions. We also measure their ability to maintain a set humidity level and how much they’ll cost you to run.

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings that the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.
