Dehumidifier suggestions?

Admiral Huddy · 7 Jan 2016 at 12:56

Two of our front upstairs rooms are a prone to back mould around the window so I was thinking of buying a Dehumidifier. Can anyone recommend one?

This one comes recommended apparently.

Will these only take access moisture from the air.. Apparently, I just as unhealthy to have too little moisture as it does to have too much.

Should I think about traps before buying?

I have to one from Amazon, well the classic one with extra controls. But its brilliant, keep the whole house (3 bed semi) at approx 60% pretty efficient as well. Helps with heating as well, blows out warm air. No more steamy windows and the bathroom is dry within a couple of hours.

might be an idea to look into why you are getting damp there. always better to treat the cause than the symptom.

I had a similar question earlier this week the DD122 looks like the best bet

Traps may help with mild damp but the capacity is tiny and they take weeks to do anything useful
