Devola 8L Desiccant Dehumidifier Review

The Devola 8L Desiccant Dehumidifier is a powerful, quiet and portable appliance. It extracts up to 8 litres of water from the air per day, and is particularly suited for houses with up to five bedrooms. It features a continuous drainage tube for interrupted use, but there's also a water tank (with an alert when the tank is full) if continuous drainage is not possible due to house layout, for example.

The Devola 8L Desiccant Dehumidifier offers three fan speeds that can easily be changed as needed. It also has a laundry function so that you can dry linen/clothes indoors during winter or whilst the pollen count is high. In terms of noise, the appliance emits between 42dB and 50dB depending on the fan speed, which is low enough to sleep/work through uninterrupted.
