A sample of the Russell Hobbs RHDH1061 Portable Dehumidifier was kindly supplied for review purposes, and you can read more about our process on the how we test page.

The design of the Russell Hobbs RHDH1061 is pretty basic, but the grey (our sample) and black (also available) plastic are both visually appealing. Even better, the defrost function prevents water freezing on the elements when the days turn super chilly. We also didn’t find it that much help with drying clothes, although it did a good job of managing general damp and reducing condensation and mould on windows and walls.

It's also worth considering noise levels and energy consumption before you invest in a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier was tested in a number of rooms in Laura’s house, including the conservatory, home office and bedroom, during daytime hours and overnight. The Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy dehumidifier uses 220W, whereas the comparable MeacoDry 12L Arete One uses just 151W of energy, and doesn't cost that much more upfront at full RRP.This Dehumidifier is the ideal tool for reducing humidity and minimising the physical signs of damp and condensation in your home office, utility room, or small living space. In our opinion, the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier can't beat the MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier on performance, nor is its energy use lower than the comparable MeacoDry 12L Arete One. For comparison, the lowest extraction rate offered within the MeacoDry Arete One range is 10L of moisture extraction per day.
