If you’re looking to reduce energy costs by drying your clothes on a heated airer, issues of mould and mildew may arise due to condensation – that’s where a dehumidifier comes in
In the face of soaring energy bills, investing in a dehumidifier could be a shrewd move. These handy gadgets suck in air and cool it down to pull out moisture, which then gets collected inside.
They’re particularly useful if you’re cutting costs by drying laundry on an indoor airer, as they can prevent mould and mildew from condensation. Not only do dehumidifiers combat mould, but they also speed up the drying process.
However, these devices aren’t exactly wallet-friendly, so it pays to hunt for bargains. And bargain hunters are in luck – the Neo 12L Day Dehumidifier with an LED Digital Display has seen a massive price cut of 64% in the Debenhams sale.

Originally at £179.99, it’s now available for £65.32 (prices correct at time of publication).

Debenhams’ moisture-wicking Neo 12L Day Dehumidifier claims to zap up to 12L of damp per day, perfect for anywhere from bedrooms to basements and slashing laundry drying times. It boasts an eco-friendly tag for its low energy use and a ‘quiet’ auto shut-off feature.
The product has earned a solid 4/5 star rating from Debenhams customers, with one chuffed buyer saying: “Brilliant piece of kit it’s neat not too noisy I leave it on overnight on laundry setting and put it in front of my clothes airer and they are dry by morning.”
However, it’s not all praise, as one disgruntled shopper highlighted issues with parts missing and lacklustre customer service: “Dehumidifier works as you’d expect – bits missing though on receipt of item (don’t affect the operation). Customer service is not the best.”
