Why buy me

  • Built for larger UK homes of up to 5 bedrooms: pulls up to 20L of moisture out of the air a day, enough to take on whole-house damp and condensation.
  • Dry your washing indoors for around 26p a load: Laundry Mode runs continuously at Turbo speed to a low humidity target - quicker than airing, and kinder to your clothes than a tumble dryer.
  • Serious extraction, sensible running costs: the low-energy 250W compressor works out at about 6.6p an hour and uses 40% less energy than a standard dehumidifier.
  • Set it once and leave it: Smart Mode holds a healthy 50-55% humidity and adjusts the fan itself, so the compressor only runs when there is moisture to remove.
  • Run it when electricity is cheapest: the 24-hour start/stop timer schedules it around your routine or an off-peak tariff.
  • Quiet enough for bedrooms and living rooms: Sleep Mode runs at 41dB and dims the panel lights, so it works away overnight without disturbing you.
  • Fresher air as well as drier air: Air Purifier Mode runs fan-only with optional HEPA and active carbon filters to catch allergens, dust and odours.
  • Move it to wherever the damp is: castors and a sturdy carry handle make it easy to shift between floors, and the 5L splash-proof tank can be swapped for a permanent drain hose.

Question from Wiola: Asked on 14/04/2026 Good Evening. Please tell me how long can it takes to dry loundry

Answer from JimsonGuzman: Answered on 15/04/2026

Hi, The electriQ CD20LE dehumidifier includes a Laundry Mode designed to assist indoor clothes drying by continuously removing moisture from the air. The manual advises using it in a closed room, positioned near the laundry, with suitable humidity settings for best performance. Drying time is not fixed and will vary depending on load size, fabric type, spin speed, and room conditions. The unit operates until the selected conditions are met or the water tank requires emptying.


Thank you.

Answer from JoseBacud: Answered on 15/04/2026

Hi Wiola,With a 20L dehumidifier like the electriQ CD20LE, indoor laundry usually dries in about 4–6 hours for light items, around 6–10 hours for a normal mixed load, and up to 12 hours for heavier things like towels or bedding, depending on room temperature, airflow, and how well the clothes are spun.Thanks!

Question from Li: Asked on 20/02/2026 Hi. The ‘dehumidifier’ function switches off at 52. Is this standard or can I alter the settings so it runs for longer
Thanks

Answer from JimsonGuzman: Answered on 20/02/2026

Hi, The behaviour you’re seeing with the electriQ CD20LE — the dehumidifier switching off around 52?% relative humidity — is normal, as the unit’s built-in humidistat automatically stops the compressor once the set target humidity is reached to save energy. You can make it run longer by either setting a lower target humidity (as low as 35?%) in High/Low mode, using Laundry mode, which prioritises continuous moisture extraction until the water tank is full, or fitting a permanent drain hose, which allows the unit to operate beyond the target humidity. Standard dehumidifier mode cannot run continuously regardless of humidity, but these options let you extend operation as needed.


Thank you.

Question from Saa: Asked on 21/11/2025 Hi,

Is the UV suitable to use around little children? Is it completely enclosed and not visible?

Answer from JoseBacud: Answered on 24/11/2025

Hi,The ElectriQ CD20LE dehumidifier’s UV sterilisation is fully enclosed inside the unit, so the UV light is not visible and should be safe to use around children, provided the appliance is placed out of their reach and they are not allowed to tamper with it.Thanks!

Question from Karen: Asked on 14/11/2025 Does this automatically switch off when the water tank is full?

Answer from JoseBacud: Answered on 17/11/2025

Hi Karen,Yes, the electriQ CD20LE Dehumidifier features an automatic shut-off function when the water tank becomes full. When the tank reaches its maximum capacity, the dehumidifier will automatically turn off to prevent overflow. Additionally, it has a full tank indicator light to notify you when the tank needs to be emptied. You can either manually empty the tank or connect a continuous drainage option if you prefer not to have to empty it regularly.Thanks!

Question from Emily: Asked on 10/11/2025 Hi, what jepa and charcoal filters are compatible with this? The filters you have tend to say they are compatible with CD20LE -v2, -v3, -v4, or -v5, would these work?

Answer from JoseBacud: Answered on 19/11/2025

Hi Emily,For your ElectriQ Premium 20L Low-Energy Quiet Laundry Dehumidifier (CD20LE), only filters explicitly listed as compatible with your model—such as the HEPA-CDLEX and Active Carbon ACFIL-CDLEX filters for CD20LE-V4—are guaranteed to fit and perform correctly. Filters labeled for CD20LE-V2, -V3, or -V5 might physically fit, but compatibility isn’t assured, and using them could reduce efficiency or cause airflow issues. To ensure proper operation, it’s best to use the official ElectriQ HEPA and carbon filters designed for your specific version.Thanks!

Question from Roger: Asked on 31/10/2025 Are the filters washable, if not how long do they last?

Answer from JoseBacud: Answered on 03/11/2025

Hi Roger,The Electriq CD20LE dehumidifier has a washable mesh filter that can be vacuumed regularly and, if heavily soiled, washed with hot soapy water and thoroughly dried before reinserting. Optional filters, such as carbon or HEPA filters, are not washable and should be replaced every 3–6 months.Thanks!

Question from M: Asked on 17/10/2025 Does this have an anti-bacterial function to prevent mould growing in the tank?
Thank you

Answer from JimsonGuzman: Answered on 17/10/2025

Hi, Yes, the electriQ Premium 20L Low-Energy Quiet Laundry Dehumidifier CD20LE is equipped with an antibacterial function designed to prevent mould growth in the water tank.


Thank you.

Question from Rachel: Asked on 30/12/2015 I am looking for a dehumidifier to replace an old one that I run on a timer in my cellar 24-7. Because it runs so much I really want a low energy one. It doesn't have to be fancy or attractive as behind a closed door. Main criteria - efficient, low cost and low energy, auto cut off when tank full. What would you recommend? Thanks

Answer from JasonCooper: Answered on 30/12/2015
CD16LE, this is the one I would recommend. £139.98
