How to read it
- Rated L/day and conditions. Headline capacity and the test it was measured under. Ratings at 30 °C, 80% RH are best-case numbers. See why ratings don't match real life.
- At 20 °C, 60% RH. Output in a cooler, drier room, where the maker publishes it. This is the fairest way to compare.
- Max power. The figure we use for running costs. Real bills are often lower because humidistats cycle the unit off. See running costs.
- Noise. The maker's range, usually low to high fan speed. Quiet matters most in bedrooms.
- Tank. A bigger tank means fewer trips to empty it, unless you use a hose drain.
Narrowing it down
- Heated living space, laundry: a compressor model is usually cheaper to run. See compressor vs desiccant.
- Cold room, garage or unheated space: a desiccant model keeps working when it is cold, but uses more power.
- Not sure what capacity you need? Use the sizer, which shows the working.
