If you want a dehumidifier of a similar power and price point, the slightly more expensive ProBreeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier remains our best budget buy, offering a better extraction rate of 0.5L and a larger 1.5L water tank, which means you won’t be emptying it quite so frequently. That said, the ProBreeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier is also larger in size, measuring H30 x W22 x D16cm compared to the Russell Hobbs' H22 x W14 x D14cm frame. And, the ProBreeze 1500ml is twice the weight, weighing in at 1.85kg.

PORTABLE & EASY TO STORE: Portable & Easy to move with casters and Lightweight compressor Four castor wheels are conveniently located on the underside of the dehumidifier to allow for easy moving without having to lift the unit each time. These can be easily fitted or removed according to preference. This will mean you have to empty the 1.8 litre capacity tank frequently though, and this extraction rate is unlikely to be maintained except in very damp buildings.The Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier is a popular choice thanks to its relatively low price point that makes it one of the best value compressor dehumidifiers you can buy. PORTABLE & EASY TO STORE: Four castor wheels are conveniently located on the underside of the dehumidifier to allow for easy moving without having to lift the unit each time. These can be easily fitted or removed according to preference.

HIGH EFFICIENCY & LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION: Squeezes Up to 300ml of water a day from Humid Air. Don’t let the energy consumption of the dehumidifier become your burden, with our dehumidifier, you can rest assured every day. As we mentioned earlier, the Pro Breeze has the simplest control panel of any dehumidifier we’ve reviewed. There are no settings or modes, so the only button switches is to turn it on. However, it's not perfect. A powerful extraction rate of 20L, plus that Laundry boost mode, means higher running costs. This dehumidifier guzzles 440W of energy compared to the 20L MeacoDry Arete One's 216W. What the Pro Breeze 20L Premium does offer is a more generous water tank of 5.5L compared to the 20L MeacoDry Arete One's 4.8L, although in practice we didn't find ourselves emptying the MeacoDry that much more frequently.It also has an automatic shut-off function when the tank is full. This is a standard feature on modern dehumidifiers, but we were pleased to see it included in this low budget model. WHISPER QUIET SILENT DESIGN: Ultra quiet whisper technology operating fan. Thermo-Electric Cooling (No compressor needed)Thermoelectric technology allows our dehumidifier to maintain continuous use without disturbing you and family, Colleagues allowing you to work or sleep while in use. All that said, the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L dehumidifier still impressed our review team during testing. So, if you’re looking for a powerful dehumidifier with a cheaper upfront cost, the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L is well worth considering. Rather than being a compressor or a desiccant, the ProBreeze instead uses peltier technology, similar to that used in some mini fridges, to cool water vapour into water. It’s much quieter than the other methods. The Pro Breeze PB-02 is a basic dehumidifier with a low extraction rate and small water tank. It’s not designed for removing moisture from large areas and is nowhere near as effective as a compressor or desiccant model.
