Russell Hobbs 1L Dehumidifier - Grey

The media could not be loaded. First impressions because this arrived today:Pros: it’s been on the dehumidifier setting on high for just under an hour and it collected 30ml of water, which is pretty good going! You can hear the water being deposited from time to time, and when emptying the water storage the whole lid of it can come off so it’s much easier to empty than some other small dehumidifiers that I’ve had where there’s only a little hole to get the water out from. I like the design, and I like that it has 3 speeds for both the dehumidifier and the air purifier.Cons: the ‘beep’ is loud and sharp. Dehumidifier on the highest setting is quite loud - the other settings are definitely not quiet but are about the same sound level as a fan. You can’t have the dehumidifier and the air purifier settings running at the same time. It would be nice to have a dehumidifier of this size and quality that has the option to set an optimal humidity level and switches on/off when needed, as it only seems to be 10L + dehumidifiers that have this.Would be nice to have but not essential: the cable being able to be detached from the unit, as this makes it easier to run the cable through a small gap without having to have enough room for the whole plug to go too.(I bought this on sale for £73.99, I think it’s good value for money at this price but for the full price (£20 more I think?) I would have expected it to have a humidity level setting. Last year I bought a 12L dehumidifier for a 3 bed house for £140 and it had this, so I might be wrong but with an original price of nearly £100 I would expect it to be smarter)

Quietist at Low speed. Will not disturb at night. Stylish design, low impact indicator lights. Simple controls, incorporates replaceable internal filter. Will contain up to 3-nights condensation water. Simple controls, no glaring control or information lights - just tiny blue dots so as not to disturb at night. Ideal for Bedroom use.

Quite a compact size dehumidifier for a small room where I like to dry my washing. It has 3 speeds and is not noisy. It does the job very well and is certainly value for money. It has plenty of room to collect the water removed and is light enough to carry around to where ever you care to use it. Very happy with my purchase

Stopped working after a few short months, waste of money. Didn’t collect much water even before it broke.

My room has to much humidity and this absorbing the humidity from the wall, windows and ceiling. Good price, quality and size. Thanks Russell Hobbs.

Got this as I live in an old building and my room was around 74% humidity when I started using it (I have my own device to measure humidity since the dehumidifier doesn’t).My room is just under 20 sqm - the size recommended - and I have been using it for about a month and a half pretty much non stop on low or medium power when I’m in, high when I’m out. It takes 2-3 days for the 1L tank to fill up.I like:- the noise is reasonable, medium setting is fine during the day and I have it on low at night (with earplugs that I always wear anyway)- pretty compact and very easy to move around with the handle- hard to tell but the purifier seems to work as smells don’t linger etc- the light can be kept on or turned off- turns off automatically if the tank is full so no need to worry about spillageI don’t like:- dehumidifier is not very effective. In over a month of use, room went from 74% to about 63% of humidity. It’s not a very big difference and that’s why I think the device has no visible measure of humidity. I’ve added a small electric heater to the room and only with the two together I have finally managed to bring humidity down to around 50% (for reference it’s recommended to keep the home between 30 and 50% so it’s not exactly dry yet, but better).- not possible to use only the dehumidifier setting as it has to be in conjunction with the purifier. Purifier can be turned on its own.- beeps when pressing the controls are a bit annoying, especially at night with other people around- automatically turns back on when the tank is removed, so make sure to empty it and put it in back quickly or turn the device off.Overall, I’ve still decided to keep it as I like the purifier, it fits in the space, it’s still better than before and I wouldn’t really want to spend more money or get anything bigger.I’d recommend getting a little device to check your humidity levels before buying (you can find them for cheap on Amazon) as if it’s high I think you would need a more powerful machine, even if the room is not very big. And also consider a small heater too as that seems to have done the trick.I’ve tried different placements in the room and keep it elevated near the windows as we only have single glazing and they fog up a lot with condensation. With this, it takes some time but eventually clears during the day.

I’ve been using the Russell Hobbs RHDH1101G for a few weeks now, and overall, it’s a solid performer. It operates very quietly, which is great for running in the background without disturbance. The dual function as both a dehumidifier and air purifier is a nice touch, especially for smaller spaces where you want to improve air quality without too many gadgets.That said, the 750ml/day capacity is a bit limited. It’s perfect for small rooms or spaces with mild humidity issues, but it won’t handle larger or more humid areas efficiently. If you’re looking for something for a small bedroom or office, it’s great—but for bigger spaces, you may want something with a bit more power.
