Founder and Creative Director Nicola Elliott: “Mini by name, mini by nature. Made for those small spaces where you need a well-being boost – like a small work-from-home setup and home office, modest bathrooms (or little lavatory), the car, or a little bedroom.” Blended with the perfect amount of essential oils including lavender, chamomile & patchouli, that work brilliantly to help you relax and prepare for sleep.

The Pro Breeze is great if you’ve got a smaller space and you want something that doesn’t cost a lot to run,” says expert Kandola. “It’s probably about a penny an hour.” A compressor dehumidifier is almost like a mini-fridge that cools the air and converts it into water that you can pour away,” says Ryan Kandola, a dehumidifier expert from Aircon Centre, “whereas desiccants take the air and run it over a rotating flywheel which absorbs the moisture, before heating it so the wheel doesn’t get saturated.” How do you know when you need a dehumidifier? For a bathroom, you should position the dehumidifier just outside the bathroom door and ensure the door is left open so the unit can draw the moist air towards it. If you’re drying clothes, just place the dehumidifier in the room, making sure the door and windows are all closed. It’s the setting with the highest ventilation speed and dehumidifying capacity. In my testing, I found it to really work. I don’t struggle too badly with mould in winter but I do find it difficult to dry clothes (I’m a little too stoic about not switching on the heating). With this DeLonghi dehumidifier sat next to my standard, non-heated clothes airer, my washing dried within a few hours, including a pair of jeans and a hoodie. At 15kg, the Midea is a bit of a challenge to get upstairs. That’s a real shame, because this powerful unit is perfect for bedrooms. It has a built-in ioniser which helps to purify the air and a smart setting which senses and automatically controls the humidity of a room, keeping it between 45 and 55 per cent to reduce any bacteria growth which can lead to mould.Like the DeLonghi higher up, the British-made Ebac 4850 has a dedicated laundry boost function that helps reduce the drying time of your damp laundry when it’s inside.

Expertly blended with our 100% natural NEOM Perfect Night’s Sleep™ fragrance, including lavender, chamomile and patchouli, to help you feel relaxed and prepared for sleep.

Some humidifiers could let you set how much humidity you want in the room, meaning that it will stop working or won’t turn on whenever the room humidity is above the level you set. For instance, you set it at a 30% level, but the room humidity is 35%. Warm mist humidifiers use a heating element to produce steam. The mineral buildups will accumulate and build a layer of insulation outside the heating element, making the water turning into steam more difficult.The recommended humidity for your home is 40-60 per cent in the summer months and between 30-50 per cent in the winter. You can measure it with a hygrometer (a humidity gauge - they’re not expensive). If it goes over 70 per cent, you run the risk of condensation, damp, mould, fungi and bacteria. That’s when you need a dehumidifier. Which is better, a compressor or desiccant dehumidifier?
