electriQ Essential 12L Quiet Dehumidifier

Purchased in March 2026 and not used because I bought two units, but one unit is enough for my 1-bedroom apartment. Very good; everything works. I purchased it from BuyDirect Ireland and paid 130 Euros. Invoice available and still under warranty.


Take on the damp across a 3-bed house: The 12-litre extraction rate suits flats, medium-sized rooms and homes of up to 3 beds, helping you tackle condensation where it builds up.
Pulls up to 12 litres of water a day: At maximum rated power and 26.11p/kWh, the estimated running cost is around 4.7p per hour. Actual use varies with the mode and how often it runs.
Dry laundry indoors with less hassle: Set the humidity to 35% to help speed up drying when outdoor drying is not practical.
Let Smart Mode manage humidity: Smart Mode aims for 50-55% humidity and adjusts the machine around your home, so you do not need to keep changing the setting.
Spend less time emptying the tank: The 2.5-litre tank stops the machine when full. Connect a hose for continuous drainage when you want longer unattended use.
Reduce musty odours: The included activated carbon filter helps combat mildew smells, with an optional HEPA filter available separately.
See humidity at a glance: The colour-changing indicator gives you a quick view of the room's humidity, while the simple LED controls keep setup straightforward.
Set it around your routine: The 24-hour timer lets you schedule operation, so it can work around your day instead of running continuously.
