    Great for drying clothes. Leave mine on over nite in a closed smallish room and pretty much dry the next morning.

    495W so if running at full blast they'll use about 12 units a day, which is fairly considerable in the long run, well over €50 a month.

    However you'd generally not be running them that much, without knowing the exact unit I doubt its duty cycle is 100% to begin with so it won't be running all the time anyway.

    One of the reviews on John Lewis is suggesting it uses about 7 units a day in a damp-ish environment so about €35 a month in that case. You're very unlucky if you need to use one 12 months of the year though!

    Mine is a 400w so about 8c an hour. Cheaper than a tumble dryer for a similar job.

    thanks thats what i was wondering.. if it be cheaper than a tumble drier..

    if you have a small room utility room and leave the clothes on a clothes hanger and run the unit for a couuple of hours would probably be sufficient to dry over night? and probably less severe on clothes..

    I bought a Dimplex one last year and use it at times in a damp box room and for drying clothes in a fairly large room and it's brilliant. Haven't noticed a substantial difference in my electricity bill. Would defo recommend one honestly didn't think it would be as good for drying clothes as it is :)

    This is not a compressor type unit which are better than this dessicant type. Do your research before choosing a product because it's discounted.

    How do you measure better, non dessicant models are useless at low temperatures I.e in your summer house, caravan, camper, garage in winter. They're also super noisy in say a living room bedroom situation. Horses for courses.

    I'm a big fan of dehumidifiers. I have run them in holiday homes and also have one at home for drying washing in a spare room. Great lad for drying paint too!
