A conservatory swings from cold and wet in January to warm in July, and few rooms in the house are harder on a dehumidifier. In winter the glass runs with condensation and the room may sit near freezing overnight, which suits a desiccant model. In a heated conservatory or through the warmer months a compressor unit takes out more water for the power it draws. Drainage matters too: a large conservatory can fill a small tank before lunch, so a hose outlet or a big bucket saves trips. This guide compares seven units from EcoAir, Meaco, Ariston, Dimplex and De'Longhi on type, daily extraction, the temperatures the maker quotes, drainage options and room size, so you can match one to how you heat and use the room.
