Is the VonHaus 12L Dehumidifier worth it?
Yes — for one small room.
It's compact, easy to move between rooms and quiet enough to leave running. Set a humidity level and it works until it gets there. The 2 L tank fills a few times a day in bigger rooms, and it's not the machine for serious mould.

- You want it quiet and cheap.

Things to know before you buy
- 01
The 2 L tank needs emptying a few times a day in bigger rooms.
- 02
Too small for serious damp.
Expert Reviews picks it as the best compact dehumidifier and the quietest it tested: it took its test room from 80% to 65% humidity in two hours. It's for single rooms, not damp problems across a house.
