I bought the DeLonghi Slim Compact 12l Dehumidifier for our loft room where we inevitably hang up our washing to dry. I was concerned that we were creating a damp room which would come back to haunt us so looked into these products. I was interested to learn that a dehumidifier not only keeps the moisture down in the room to the benefit of your building, but also speeds up the process of drying clothes as it literally sucks the water out of the air and thus the clothes. Fantastic! The unit is really slim and can fit right up against a wall, which is a big bonus for us. It pulls water out of the room pretty well. Id like the water reservoir to be a bit bigger so you dont have to keep emptying it, but it's pretty decent. When it's on full blast I have to empty it about every 2-3 days. It's not too noisy - although we dont sleep in the room so we're not overly bothered about noise. All in all this is a well priced, excellent product that Id recommend.
