electriQ 12 Litre Low Energy Dehumidifier Review

The electriQ 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier is a high performing, stylish and advanced appliance. It's suitable for use in flats, three bedroom homes and small to medium sized offices, extracting up to 12 litres of moisture per day, protecting against mould, damp, condensation, etc. The unit is perfect for people with breathing difficulties thanks to its air sterilisation system which lets you breathe clean air.

The dehumidifier is a low energy appliance, using up to 40% less energy than standard dehumidifiers on the market. It has a handy scheduling timer (up to 24 hours) which lets you set the appliance to run during off-peak electricity hours, or when you're at work, for example. We like its three tier "traffic light" system which lights up red for high humidity, orange when the humidity is above recommended levels and green when the humidity level is ideal.

It's ideal for preventing damage caused by moisture, drying clothes/sheets indoors, people with breathing difficulties, protecting against condensation, etc.

• Timer - A 24 hour timer can be set to automatically switch the dehumidifier on/off at the perfect time. You can set it to run whilst you're asleep, at work or during off-peak times when electricity is cheaper.

Summary

Overall, the electriQ 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier is up to the job. It's ideal for use around the flat/house and also in small/medium sized offices. It's perfectly suited for removing an impressive amount of moisture from the air (up to 12 litres per day), preventing mould, moisture and damp related damage. We particularly like its traffic light humidity indicator system (pictured above), its low energy design and the air purification system. We rate the electriQ 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier 4.5 out of 5 stars.
