Belaco 20L Dehumidifier for Home & Office – Energy Efficient

After looking for several hours on amazon and reading reviews about different dehumidifiers. I decided on this, as it's 20L and that is a good size, and much cheaper then other 20L tanked versions. Very easy to set up. Just take it out the box, plug in and a beep happens, then turn on, and it will humidity level itself digitally. Various settings. I have it on continuous at the moment. Very clear instructions. Easy access to filter on the back and tank which clicks off the back bottom. Quite a heavy thing. Has a handy carry handle. I saw this version on B and Q website. It is not very quiet, and it blows cool air though. The humidity in the old stone cottage with no central heating, no insulation or DBC, gets very damp. I only have 2 calor heaters and storage haters in the 2 bedrooms and kitchen. I bought a thermometer from amazon which read wetness of cottage and I was shocked. It was 85 humidity which is double the recommended guide for humidity, wetness. Now it's down to 77 had it on 3 hours yesterday and now back on. The moister on the front door has gone. I have all doors open in our bungalow and I will transfer the dehumidifier to the other end of the cottage latter on. So it's doing it's job! Good machine and much cheaper then other retailers!

This is a brilliant dehumidifier. It looks smart, and it doesn't take up a lot of room. It is also really easy to operate, move, and empty. The sensor and the coloured lights that indicate humidity level are great features too. Most importantly though, it works really well. Since it arrived only a few days ago, I've already emptied it several times and I can really feel the difference. The carpets don't feel damp and the house overall feels warmer and drier. The only downside to it is that it is quite loud while running so I put it on in the living room overnight and in the hallway during the day.

The Belaco 20L/Day Dehumidifier does a solid job at reducing humidity and freshening the air. It’s a bit on the noisy side, but more of a white noise than anything disruptive. The unit itself is quite chunky and heavy, so it’s not the easiest to move around, but that also makes it feel sturdy and reliable. Looks fairly standard but performs really well—great for tackling damp and even handy for drying clothes indoors. Overall, a practical and effective dehumidifier that does exactly what it’s meant to.

Sucks in moisture from the air, or “dehumidifies” if you like! Fairly small dehumidifier, handy for daily use in a flat, etc. would be useless for industrial use but that’s not what it’s for. It had a fairly small water tank so may need regular emptying if you use in a very moist environment although it came be fitted with a small tube (supplied), which is fairly short so would need to be close to where you want it to drain. You could of course, buy a longer length of tubing if that’s what you require. It’s noisier then I expected- not too noisy during the daytime but I ended up unplugging it at night as I found it to be annoying when trying to sleep. This does limit its usability though. Also, I had an issue with the little plug that goes where you would fit the drain hose, if you didn’t want it to drain. The plug was missing so when the tank filled up some way, it would leak, or at least, spill upon emptying the tank, which gaf a method of stopping the units motor, once full. (The drain hole is lower then the cut/off device). On contacting the manufacturer, they stated they carry no spare plugs so you would need to buy the whole tank kit, at £20’plus shipping, to replace a 50p plug! (Little rubber bung). Luckily, there was one with the drainage hose so perhaps that was the one meant to be fitted to the unit and we had been using it without the plug due weeks! Surely, it would have been better to fit that to the be tank, at the factory, rather then put it in the bag with the hose?

Nice and efficient. Ideal to reduce humidity during the autumn. Big enough water tank that I only needed to empty it once a day. Took the humidity of a small bedroom down from 65 to 40 in a couple of hours. Similar operating sound level to that of the microwave.

Works well low noise, easy to empty.

Exactly what I needed to replace my old dehumidifier. I don't like using my tumble dryer so this is a brilliant solution to getting washing dry during the winter months. It also helps to reduce moisture and damp around the house. I can usually get a full wash dried overnight before needing to empty the water compartment. Highly recommended for the price.

It is super noisy, wrong description. Be aware: if you want to return it you will need to pay for postage.
