Specification

We now look at the features:

• Suitability - The BLACK+DECKER 20 Litre Dehumidifier is suitable for rooms with a floor area of up to 25 square metres. It can be used in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, garages, wardrobes and even cupboards. It operates in rooms with a temperature anywhere between 5 and 32 degrees Celsius.
• Extraction Rate - Up to 20 litres of water is extracted on a daily basis. This is more than sufficient to stop mould, damp and condensation in its tracks.
• 4-in-1 Functionality - There are four pre-set functions including the ability to tackle moisture (standard dehumidification), continuous droplet collection, drying clothes/laundry and increased air ventilation.
• Drainage - The BLACK+DECKER 20 Litre Dehumidifier comes with a tube so that water is directed down the drain as soon as it's extracted, meaning you can run the appliance for long periods without having to empty it. If continuous drainage isn't an option (due to nowhere to drain the water to), then water can be collected in the removable 6.5 litre translucent tank which needs emptying periodically. When it's full, the unit will automatically turn off.
• 2 Speed Settings - The dehumidifier has two easily selectable speed settings that balance noise with functionality.
• Economic / Eco-Friendly - The appliance is cost-effective, consuming little power. It uses environmentally friendly R290 refrigerant to run.
• Humidity Indicator - The room's current humidity range is indicated on the front of the unit. Yellow means the relative humidity is less than 50%, green for 50% to 70% (the ideal range) and red for over 70%.
• Dimensions - The dehumidifier measures 55cm x 34cm x 21cm.

Summary

Overall, the BLACK+DECKER 20 Litre Dehumidifier is a highly effective appliance which is capable of removing huge amounts of moisture from the air, as well as also being able to dry clothes and improve air ventilation. It offers the choice between being able to directly drain water away and storing water in a tank. We like its two speed settings, its eco-friendly/cost-effective design and its handy humidity indicator. We rate the BLACK+DECKER 20 Litre Dehumidifier 4 out of 5 stars.
