The feature that customers really wanted. Not just an off timer, but an On Timer, Daily Run Timer and an Off Timer, giving you complete control over when Zambezi turns on or off and allowing you to control your electricity consumption completely. A dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air and reduces humidity levels; creating healthier and more comfortable environments. A dehumidifier can alleviate and prevent issues like, condensation, mould growth, damp and musty odours The only downside to the Low Energy is that it's a relatively large and bulky machine. It's one of the heaviest we've reviewed, at 13.7kg, ​so it's not easy to move between rooms. The bulky design also takes up more floor space than other models. There are castors and a handle to improve mobility though. It can extract up to 6-litres of water from your home per day and uses Eco E7 technology to efficiently function, optimising power use, and saving power. Its unobtrusive size is ideal for small rooms, including your laundry or bathroom. With its three-position air-channelling louvre, you can improve performance and airflow, while the anti-allergy deodorising filter will enhance your home’s air quality.

As for the size or capacity of a dehumidifier, this describes how many litres of water it's able to extract from the air each day, and ranges from seven to 40 litres. Which capacity you need depends on the size of the space you want to use it in, how many people are living in the home generating moisture through activities such as cooking, washing and doing laundry, and the extent of your damp problem. If you leave your dehumidifier and then walk away if you have put it on the wrong setting and the relative humidity increases then there is nothing that can be done. Worse still if you leave your dehumidifier to look after your garage, boat, caravan or holiday home then the room will suffer until you finally return, possibly too late to prevent damage by mold, rust or damp. The Zambezi Z2 features a motorised rotating louvre to help dry spaces faster and has a higher extraction rate using less energy than other dehumidifiers in the range. Thanks to a drainage hose, the tank does not need to be emptied and DD8L can be used with minimum supervision. (Drainage hose not included).

Zambezi looks after your belongings by increasing its fan speed if the relative humidity increases 20%rh above your set point to protect your treasures. You can add as many “World Firsts” and high-tech features as you want to a dehumidifier, but if it’s terrible at extracting water it’s worthless. Fortunately, the DD8L Zambezi has fantastic water extraction capabilities. While the 8 litres/day extraction rate (at 20 degrees Celsius and 60% relative humidity) might seem low compared to refrigerant models, its ability to extract at lower temperatures means it’s much better suited to the conditions found in garages, boats and other cooler locations.

Complete with a digital control board and timer, this compact desiccant dehumidifier is simple to use and effective. Just be aware that it does not feature any indicator of your room’s humidity levels. Also, at 1.8 litres, the tank will need to be frequently emptied in very damp homes, and you could also find the fan to be rather noisy in confined spaces.

When we set the thermostat to say 22°C our radiators become hot, if we were to put our hands on the radiator later and found it to be lukewarm or cool then we would not think that the radiator is faulty, we would just accept that the room temperature is up to 22°C and the radiator has been turned off by the stat. We know that when the room temperature drops the radiators will turn on again and they will once more be hot to the touch.

With a capacity of 25 litre per day, it's great at extracting large quantities of water from the air. The bigcapacity also makes it suitable for large houses or for drying lots of washing.

As it's a desiccant dehumidifier, the Zambezi is better suited to cooler environments than refrigerant models. In fact, it excels at both room temperature and cooler rooms, making it a great option for outbuildings or conservatories. When choosing a desiccant dehumidifier, take a look at its maximum water extraction rate. This is measured in litres per day.
