Do dehumidifiers go on sale during Black Friday?
Yes, lots of dehumidifiers are included in Black Friday sales. Retailers like Argos, John Lewis, Amazon and Currys typically offer a range of brands and models at various price points, from compact units for small spaces to high-capacity dehumidifiers suited to entire homes.
Is it worth getting a dehumidifier in the UK?
Absolutely. The UK’s climate is often damp and humid, particularly in the autumn and winter months. A dehumidifier can help control indoor humidity, which is essential for reducing condensation on windows, preventing the growth of mould and improving air quality.
It’s especially beneficial in older homes or properties with poor ventilation, where moisture issues are more common.
Beyond these practical benefits, a dehumidifier can also make your home feel warmer and drier, often allowing you to reduce your heating bills, too.
How we pick the best dehumidifier Black Friday deals
There’s no denying that a dehumidifier is an investment, so to ensure you’re buying the best, the Good Housekeeping Institute rigorously tested a range of models in the lab.
To test the effectiveness of each dehumidifier, we used a controlled test chamber with a humidity of 80% and a temperature set to 18C. Testers ran each product on its highest setting to assess water collection, before analysing additional laundry modes.
Our experts also scored each model on its design, ease of use, and quality of instructions.
