Was in my local Aldi in Prestwick today and they had 3 of these by the front door. Couldn't see a ticket but the shop assistant confirmed they had just been reduced from £99.99 which is the price still showing on Aldi's website.
Use one of these for drying the washing during the winter months and it works 10 times better than a tumble dryer.
Comes with a 3 year warranty
Auto switch-off
20 litre moisture extraction per day
5.5 litre tank capacity

Do you know what the electricity consumption is on this model?
Edit: 350w - 420w, to much for me.

may sound like a stupid question, but will this get rid of the condensation on my windows that occurs most days especially in the winter..... especially in the bedrooms upstairs.... had the double glazing replaced a couple of years ago, but they still experience condensation..... any advice or info would be appreciated... many thanks...

not a stupid question, yes it will do u will be quitsurprised at how much water there is in the air and our houses I got one about 2 years ago a desiccant one if this is one then it's a good buy as these heat the air aswell so room feels warmer aswell it will probably need stay in for most of the time for 2/3 weeks before the moisture content becomes upto a decent level I would buy a humidity meter aswell they cheap off ebay or maybe a car boot sale to monitor the levels around 40-50 percent is a good level don't try go further than this it starts drying ur skin if ur sensitive

A dehumidifier will help, but the real fix for condensation on your glazing is to increase the dew point, in simple terms the rooms either need improved insulation, ( which should help raise the room temp ) or the rooms need to be heated (perhaps just by a few degrees ) so the air in the room is slightly warmer, such that moisture in the air can't form water vapour (condense). That vapour is always going to be attracted to the coldest surface it can find, and in most rooms during a cold period, that is going to be your glazing. The dehumidifier will of course remove some of the vapour / condensate once it is has formed, so will help cut down the condensation on the glazing. Ideally you want to stop the condensate vapour forming in the first place, and that will be achieved most effectively by raising the dew point. Hope this helps !

Op is this the model you use for drying your laundry?

Yes, it works great for drying laundry. But you will need a warm room. Efficiency drops in the cold.

Is it rechargeable or main powered. Need one for bathroom but no power sockets in there.

At this power usage it's going to be mains only but with this specification should do the job from the hallway if door opened after in a warm house. If it pulls enough water to dry cloths it should keep on top of the moisture from a hot shower.

what I do, just leave it outside the bathroom with the air blasting into it, I have the eco air from amazon, it actually keeps the entire house at 50% (including the bathroom), it has 12l-18l extraction, so the one in OP, if it is really 20l, will be even better

Is this the dessicant or compressor type?

Hi, educated guess based on price point and extraction rate this would be compressor so reduced efficiency under 17 degrees C but would still remove moisture below but with diminishing returns.

Thanks for posting op, heat added!

Totally agree. I bought a meaco 3 years back and never had problems with humidity. Dry all my washing using this during winter months. Leave it on at night and 6-7hours later clothes are nicely dry
