Russell Hobbs RHDH1001 Review

The Russell Hobbs RHDH1001 Dehumidifier is a modern and stylish appliance with a 10 litre per day extraction rate. It works best in rooms with a floor area of up to 30 square metres, including kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, garages, etc. One feature which we particularly like is the drainage tube which allows for continuous operation of the appliance, although there is a water tank option available.

The dehumidifier has a number of additional modes and functions. Automatic defrost prevents performance issues by protecting the coils from freezing. Laundry mode lets you dry clothes indoors during winter, allergy season, etc. We like its modern design, including the LED display, electronic controls and the integrated carry handle.
