Guides / Round-up
Five dehumidifiers to compare, from two sizes of Arete Two to desiccant and wall-mounted models. Two of them, the 8 litre Zambezi and the DD8L Pro, list a laundry mode. The Arete Two 12L and 25L list adjustable laundry timers. The MeacoWall Two is a wall-mounted model with an 84 litres a day extraction rate, as its listing gives it.
Our own readings for each, then what the shops’ listings say. A gap means the listing doesn’t say, not that the product lacks it.
