Not bad. If you have an Aldi nearby I recommend their dehumidifier for under £100 with a 3 year warranty. I live in Cornwall where damp is unavoidable however their machine is powerful and really well built, much better than the Ebac ones I have previously.
Thank you for that - will be visiting Aldi as have one not too far away.

The ones which work much better as dessicant. These need heating/high temperature to work properly.

I'm using the Aldi compressor and our house thermostat is on 16, living room temp about 18-20 and it's doing a great job. Modern compressors are often better over 17c compared to more expensive dessicant units. Ours is pulling plenty of water and I consider our house cold, first day not run all day with humidity on the unit set at 55% it got around 6 ltrs total - and it's quite compared to what I expected, ran it in our bedroom doorway while sleeping.

The compressor ones only work above about 16 degrees whereas the desiccant ones don't need a warm is here room and give off a bit of heat
It's the dessicant one I am looking for in our climate
That's my understanding

However, it is not energy efficient. 370W for a compressor type is not very good. Meaco compressor only use half of the electricity.
370w is close to desiccant type. My EcoAir DD122MK5 Desiccant is 390-620 W
