# Best dehumidifiers for UK homes Source: https://dampanddry.co.uk/best/best-dehumidifier-uk Publisher: Damp and Dry. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://dampanddry.co.uk/how-we-pick Most UK homes need a dehumidifier for one of three jobs: drying a damp, lived-in house, drying washing indoors, or keeping a cold room such as a garage from getting musty. The type matters as much as the size. Compressor machines extract the most water in a heated home, while desiccant machines keep working in cold rooms and give off a little warmth. This shortlist mixes both types so you can match a pick to your home size and room temperature. For each model we pulled the extraction rate, tank size, stated noise, power draw and the room size the maker quotes straight from the listing, and wrote Not stated where the listing leaves a figure out. Compare the extraction rate against the floor area first, then check the tank and noise for where it will sit. ## Products ### 1.
