Product Information

I found the dehumidifier was pleasantly quiet compared to cheaper version I've used in the past. However, it does give off a low-level hum which I could hear down the corridor.

Although the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L dehumidifier is one of the most affordable large dehumidifiers we've come across and is cheaper upfront than the comparable 20L Meaco Arete One dehumidifier. The Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 uses a lot of energy in comparison, so running costs are higher.PRODUCT FEATURES: Timer, dryer & SMART modes, LED display, electronic controls, continuous drain function and auto defrost However, whilst this Russell Hobbs number is cheaper upfront, running costs are higher, with the 20L dehumidifier using 440W of energy compared to Meaco's 20L Arete One which uses 216W on average. Plus, the Arete One offers a built-in air purifier which this model does not, and the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L dehumidifier's water tank is smaller at 3L compared to the Meaco's 4.8L, which means it needs emptying more often. I began testing the Russell Hobbs RHDH2002 20L dehumidifier by using the Continuous mode after I'd been in the shower to help clear the excess humidity in my flat. As the dehumidifier requires connection to mains electricity it obviously isn't safe to use in the bathroom itself, however, I positioned it in the small room facing the bathroom so it was safely away from any splash risks. This dehumidifier doesn't have a remote or any clever Apps to control it, everything is done via the LED display and electronic control panel on the top of the dehumidifier, which I found kept things nice and simple. During the winter I tested out the Continuous mode on the highest fan level in the kitchen to dry out a wall where we'd had a leak. In just 24 hours the watermark had shrunk significantly despite the cold weather outside.

In terms of noise, the Russell Hobbs version is louder than many other top-rated dehumidifiers at 47.5dB.

You work at BID, what a legend.

The beeping noise that sounds when the dehumidifier is ready to be emptied is very loud. I can hear the two sharp beeps from all over my flat. I actually found this a very handy feature when I was relying on the smart mode function. Energy use
