Windows 'mould-free' thanks to 'compact' Amazon dehumidifier reduced to £27

As winter delivers chilly and wet conditions across Britain, countless homes are grappling with the irritating challenges of condensation, dampness and mould. Dehumidifiers have become a go-to purchase for tackling these concerns - and Amazon has slashed the cost of a compact model that's been hailed as an "excellent" remedy.

The AROEVE Dehumidifier has had its price cut from £35.99 down to £26.93 in a time-limited offer. Measuring just 21.4cm in height and under 15cm in width, it's perfect for smaller rooms or relocating around the house when required, whilst silently removing up to 450ml of moisture from the atmosphere daily.

Additional features of the AROEVE Dehumidifier include automatic switch-off once the reservoir is full with a red indicator to alert when emptying is needed, plus colour-changing ambient lighting. With over 1,000 units purchased from Amazon in the past month alone, it has achieved an average score of 4.4 out of five stars from customers thus far.

Nevertheless, its petite dimensions mean this dehumidifier might not suit larger properties or those facing more serious dampness and mould problems, with the manufacturer suggesting it for spaces of 10-15m². Dehumidifiers are available in various sizes, from as modest as 250ml right up to 25 litres.

A dehumidifier's capacity is determined by the amount of water it can remove daily - for instance, when browsing for a dehumidifier and noticing a model rated at 5L, this indicates the quantity of moisture it can draw from the atmosphere over a 24-hour timeframe, according to AirConCentre, reports Chronicle Live.

Nevertheless, ProBreeze cautions: "Dehumidifier models are tested in ideal drying conditions and not in a real life environment. This means the true rate at which they extract water is probably slower than advertised."

For households requiring a more robust approach to tackling moisture issues, the leading top-rated option at Argos is the Meaco Arete One 12L Dehumidifier and Air Purifier, capable of removing up to 12L of dampness from the atmosphere daily compared to the AROIEVE's 450ml, though it commands a significantly higher price at £180. Measuring 47cm in height, this unit features a 2.5L water reservoir, requiring several daily emptying sessions when operating at maximum efficiency.

Nonetheless, it earns endorsement from 99% of Argos customers. Back on Amazon, one customer who purchased the AROEVE Dehumidifier commented: "I'm genuinely surprised by how effective this little dehumidifier is! I ran it overnight and by morning, the tank had already collected a noticeable amount of water, way more than I expected for such a compact device. For the price, this is a total win - efficient, stylish, and practical."

Another buyer commended: "This product does exactly what it's meant to do. We were having quite a bit of condensation problems in the small bedroom of our house. This dehumidifier has stopped this. The amount of moisture it removes from the air is great. It is quite small but perfect for our size of room."

A third customer reported: "This dehumidifier is exactly what I needed. I use a small room to dry my clothes, and they used to end up smelling a bit off because there's no sun or good airflow in my apartment. Since I started using this, everything smells fresh again."

Meanwhile, another user noted: "This small dehumidifier works really well for its size. It's lightweight, easy to move around, and fits nicely in smaller spaces like a bedroom or bathroom. Despite being compact, it does a good job of pulling moisture out of the air and makes the room feel fresher."

Nevertheless, not all customers were impressed with its effectiveness in their homes. One purchaser grumbled: "It's very compact, but it's too noisy for a bedroom, and collects tiny amounts of water."

And a different reviewer remarked: "Some days it works other days I still have condensation on my windows." But, someone else wrote: "Very good for its size! Our bedroom windows would be soaking wet in a morning, used this last night, bedroom windows are bone dry and the air just felt clearer! Hopefully it will keep up with this standard to keep the bedroom windows mould free!"
