Dehumidifiers

Air dehumidification: Plaster is peeling off walls, mould appears on the ceiling, and wood on furniture is rotting? These are all signs of excessive moisture in your home, but dehumidifiers for your rooms can help you solve the problem.

Portable dehumidifiers are handy devices as they extract moisture from the air, making it drier and less unpleasant. Desiccant dehumidifiers are often used for hygienic reasons, as high humidity can cause mould and fungus to form, not to mention specific health reasons, as very humid environments usually cause several discomforts in the human body.

Humidity absorbers generally have dual use: in winter, they can remove humidity from rooms, making them more pleasant to live in, while in summer they have a beneficial action against excessive heat. This is also the reason why modern air conditioners can also operate as dehumidifiers, as removing the excessive moisture from the air can be perceived immediately and provide more comfort when temperatures are high.

When purchasing the best dehumidifier for your needs, the specific type of dehumidifier plays a key role, as there are many different models on the market. On Klarstein you can find different humidity absorbers for sale, including electric dehumidifiers and air dehumidifiers. They can be used in different areas, such as car dehumidifiers or bathroom dehumidifiers where you want to get rid of mould effectively.

When buying a dryer, it also means to know the functionality of the specific models available. There are many functions, and their usefulness always depends on your individual needs. Following some important features commonly found in a humidity absorber:

• Laundry Drying: Combined action of the dryer and a jet of hot air, designed to speed up the drying clothes.


• Ionisation: The ioniser is a component that scatters negatively charged ions into the air and forces water particles to stick to the walls. It is useful as it makes the air in the house cleaner.


• Air Purification: Dehumidifiers usually also operate as air purifiers, which means that they remove bacteria, allergens like dust and microorganisms, such as fungi from the air. In any case, depending on the size of the room you need to sanitise.


• Smart Features: Some dehumidifiers include additional features, such as a control panel lock, automatic switch-off and speed control. Some devices can even be controlled remotely through the Klarstein App. This gives you flexibility in the use, as you will be able to adjust its main settings and program its operating times from anywhere, using your smartphone or Wi-Fi connection.

Depending on the model of humidity absorber you like to choose, its performance and usefulness may vary depending on the size of a room. In this sense, there are two types of air dehumidifiers to consider: electric dehumidifiers and natural dehumidifiers:

Natural Dehumidifiers

Are disposable and last around 2 - 3 months. They comprise a bag or container containing a clay-type material or her elements such as salts and minerals. These materials work because they can attract water particles found in the air, retaining them to dehumidify the environments where they are used. These models only last a few weeks and have a much lower performance level than electric dehumidifiers. The flow rate is also reduced, and usually, these solutions are not effective if the room size is more than 12 square metres.

Electric Dehumidifiers

Are a reliable solution for reducing humidity an average-sized house or room. This is because they are much better performing than natural models, as they cover a larger area in square metres and can potentially last forever. With these devices, it’s an investment that pays for itself in the medium or long term, cheaper than natural solutions. Following some advantages when using an electric humidity absorber: It’s possible to cover large rooms and indoor areas. Smart features are included depending on the model. It lasts a long time and generally doesn't need to be replaced.

A good dehumidifier should not only extract moisture efficiently but also offer practical features that make daily use easy and effective. Here are the key features to look for when choosing a dehumidifier:

Adjustable Humidity Control

A built-in hygrostat allows you to set your desired humidity level, and the device automatically maintains it. This ensures comfort and prevents unnecessary energy consumption.

Automatic Shut-Off & Overflow Protection

When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier should stop automatically to prevent spills. An indicator light or audible alert is also helpful.

Continuous Drain Option

For long-term use, especially in very damp areas, a hose connection for continuous drainage saves you from emptying the water tank frequently.

Timer Function

A programmable timer allows you to set operating times, which is useful for saving energy or running the unit at night or while you’re away.

Air Filter

An integrated air filter not only protects the device but also helps to clean the air of dust and allergens. Some models come with washable filters or even HEPA filters.

Portability

Wheels and a carry handle make it easy to move the unit from room to room, especially if you use it in multiple areas of the home.

Low Noise Level

Quiet operation is crucial if you plan to use the device in living spaces or bedrooms. Look for models under 50 dB for a quieter experience.

Defrost Function

For cooler environments like basements, a defrost mode ensures the unit continues to function efficiently even when temperatures drop.

Energy Efficiency

Choose a model with good energy ratings or ECO mode to minimize electricity use while maintaining performance.

A well-equipped dehumidifier not only improves indoor air quality but also helps protect your home from moisture damage, allergens, and mold – all while being simple and convenient to use.

First, the respective room size should be considered when choosing a dehumidifier, electric dehumidifier, air dehumidifier or bathroom dehumidifier on Klarstein. In larger rooms or rooms with high humidity, a model with a large tank is recommended.

The larger the tank, the less often it has to be emptied. Models with a filter are also useful. These not only remove excessive moisture from the room air, but also filter the air at the same time - which is not only an advantage when dealing with allergies, but also ensures improved air quality and can remove unpleasant odours.

Furthermore, when buying a dehumidifier, its consumption plays an important part as well. Especially if the device has to be used frequently, the power consumption should be as low as possible. This helps to keep the resulting energy costs low.
