# Best dehumidifiers under £200 Source: https://dampanddry.co.uk/best/best-dehumidifier-under-200 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 A cheaper dehumidifier can still do the job well, as long as it keeps the basics. The two features worth holding out for are a humidistat, so the machine stops once the room reaches the level you set instead of running all day, and auto restart, so it carries on after a power cut without you noticing. Beyond that, the useful numbers are litres per day, the room size the maker quotes and how big the tank is, because a small tank means more trips to the sink. This guide compares seven entry level models from Dimplex, Ariston, Trotec, Bosch, EcoAir, Masterplug and a 20 litre unbranded machine. Where a listing does not mention a humidistat or auto restart, the table says so, so you can see what you would be giving up. ## Products ### 1.

In its favour: - Quoted for areas up to 52 m², the largest recommended area among these 20 litre models. - The Ariston Clima app sets humidity and schedules running times from your phone. - Super Laundry mode sets the fan speed from the humidity and temperature it senses.
