Russell Hobbs RHDH1001 10 Litre/Day Dehumidifier for Damp/Mould & Moisture in Home, Kitchen, Bedroom, Office, Caravan, Laundry Drying, 30m2 Room, Smart Timer, White

This dehumidifier is used in my kitchen because I drymclothes on a clothes horse, have a condensing tumble dryer and cook, all in quite a small space that unless you have the window open for all of these things will get damp in my kitchen. During the winter it is too cold and I don't want the windows open. I do still open them but don't have to have them open as long.I have used this with the drawer to collect the water and works very well but found it tricky to manoeuvre and found the drawer when full tricky for me to carry as I have physical problems. When filled with water the drawer is heavy. The unit itself has wheels and a handle on too this means it can be pushed to move it.I have a lot of condensation in my kitchen and have placed it on my worktop with the hose running into my kitchen sink. This saves me having to empty the unit. I clean the filter every other day to ensure it keeps working properly or lint will build up. I have the hose running load than the level of the dehumidifier to ensure proper drainage.This unit worked at straight away and started to collect water.The unit can be turned to a quite setting but does not empty as well and can be put on a timer. You can also set the humidity you want. I turn mine to 'silent' when I am not cooking, have tumble dryer on or have laundry drying. Otherwise I have it on auto where it will just run all the time.This unit blows cold air from the top of it and this needs to be kept clear from anything and it needs space at the front and back so it works properly.This is an excellent dehumidifier and has empty out so much water and I know it saving me money because I don't have to have the windows open and heating on high to keep the house warm and is stopping my getting damp in the future.

Excellent product. Looks smart and works very well. Silent mode is not very silent but great value for the price.

It's a decent dehumidifier and does the job well. My wife fills up two drying racks of washing and we leave the dehumidifier on for the night and the next morning it's all dry. It has a timer option (1-24hrs), continuous mode or target humidity level. We set it to 45% which works for us.It's not the quietest, we can hear it in the next room, but it's like white noise, so doesn't disturb our sleep.Would recommend.

Russell Hobbs RHDH1001 10 Litre/Day DehumidifierAs noted elsewhere this item is surprisingly heavy for its size. I can't quite work out why it needs to be so heavy but it's well made and well designed. It's stylish looking, no doubt about it. The removable container holds just under 3 ltrs of water. The manual states that it will function right down to 5 degrees C but I doubt that it would be very efficient at such a temperature. The efficiency seems to drop off below around 10 degrees C. At normal household temperatures it works very well indeed.The control panel is easy to understand. Russell Hobbs have labelled one of the settings as "SILENT" which is slightly misleading because this setting is anything but silent. In fact it's a low power mode which uses half the power with a correspondingly reduced output. Admittedly it's slightly quieter but I think "LOW" would have been a better description. The refrigerant used is R290 propane. It can be hard to see how much water is in the collection tank but it shuts off when it's full of course.

Brilliant device, has brought the humidity down in my sons bedrooms from mid 70s to low 50s. Their windows and walls are no longer dripping wet every morning.It captures lots of moisture and works as intended. They are a little loud, even on the silent mode but both of my sons have managed to sleep all night with them on.

Simplicity of use. Great value. Very efficient

An amazingly effective dehumidifier by Russell Hobbs.Why it says it is a 6L when it holds 2L, i do not know - but, it- is- powerful.In as little under two days, the 2 L capacity tank was full (indicated by the motor stopping).It is heavy, thus the wheels to manouver.It is audible like a ventilation system, but that is no issue as i can tell it is powerfully drawing in the excess moisture.Am very impressed, as the other dehumidifiers i have obtained had broken down after a few months.This one, i trust, will keep on performing for a long time yet.

We like this appliance, used to assist drying washing in the winter and wet weather. Timer feature is useful. Quite loud but used in a Utility room so for us is not too disturbing. A bit weighty but castors make movement easy. Humidity level indicator is helpful. Overall a solid bit of kit.
