The details

This compact yet powerful 5-litre dehumidifier helps create a healthier and more comfortable environment for small-sized rooms. It removes excess moisture and humidity that can encourage the growth of common allergens, damaging your home and health. If the humidity is too high, then your home is at risk of mould, but airborne viruses like the flu can survive longer if it's too low. Thankfully, the Aqua-Dry dehumidifier allows you to select your desired humidity level so you can find the perfect balance between high and low that best suits your home.

Once the water tank has reached its full capacity, the unit will automatically stop running to avoid overflowing. A full water light will then appear to indicate that the tank needs emptying. The Aqua-Dry can also be set up for continuous draining by connecting a hose to the drain outlet at the back. This dehumidifier is perfect for use at night when sleeping, thanks to its low noise level. There's also a timer function that can automatically switch the unit on/off at a convenient time. So you can run it while you're sleeping, at work, or during an off-peak electricity period to further reduce operating costs.
