BLACK+DECKER BXEH60008GB 30L Dehumidifier, 24 Hour Timer, 4L Water Tank, White

With the current energy crisis hitting hard it has been challenging to manage the washing for our very active family which includes 4 school children and a dog.Our vented tumble dryer was in use for 3 loads a day (minimum) and based on the current price of electric we estimate would cost a whopping £1,500 per year to run! During the summer months the washing line had bagged us the savings, but the concern was that we would have to resort to the tumble dryer in the winter or use radiators which in tun would create excess moisture in the house and also impair the central heating system. After investigating alternatives, we thought we would give a dehumidifier a try and created a "drying room" in airing cupboard.The 12 litre Black & Decker works wonderfully well and is drying everything we throw at it while adding some warmth to the house and keeping the condensation at bay. Clothes feel nicer, show less wear and retain more of the smell of the washing products that ever before.I estimate that it will cost a maximum of £34 p/m to use which is much more palatable than the £125 p/m for the tumble dryer.If you share our problem, then this could be a solution for you.

I’ve been using this dehumidifier for around 6 months now. Originally purchased to solve a problem with 90% + humidity levels in my house which had led to mould appearing all over the place. Very easy to get going straight out the box, just plug it in. I kept it running very consistently for the first couple of weeks and I was very impressed with how quickly it brought the levels down, and the amount of water it collected was astonishing! Problem solved just like that. As I don’t have a tumble dryer and don’t like putting the heating on to dry my clothes, this now doubles up to help dry the washing. I switch it on next to an airer for a few hours after doing a load of washing and it does a brilliant job of drying clothes out quickly and stopping them from smelling damp. Having a timer function to leave it running for a couple of hours if I need while I go out is a nice addition. The unit itself looks fairy neat, and being on wheels is pretty easy to move about, although its relatively heavy so some might find it more difficult if moving it up and down stairs. Very happy with it overall and would highly recommend!

Got this for mainly drying washing quicker and it does the job really well.Keeps the windows a lot drier and gives the room some heat .The amount of water in the tank when left on for several hours, the tank is usually full.I think its around 210 watts so we have it on overnight on the cheap tariff which is only 12p khw, should be really cheap to run especially at night.Only small downside is its a bit noisy if you sleep in the same room, not really loud but in another room its no problem even if your a light sleeper.

Very gd at it's job works wonderfully

Warranty is not honored. Bought two of them, one started failed just after as year, I went to the website listed on the warranty badge on the bottom of the box, they just palm you off to some other website, who then palms you off to Amazon who then sends you right back to the start.Have since bought a bigger unit (Shinco branded) at not much more than paying for two of these and it's 100x better, what these take in a week my bigger unit takes in a couple of hours.

The media could not be loaded. It's small, it's quite and it works.After reading reviews I thought it wouldn't work for my front room/open kitchen but in 14 hours it collected the water in photo. It only gives a little hum for noise and is small, easy to move. Glad I brought it, well worth the money 💰.

It's basic and it works. Louder than expected compared to other generic brands.

I recently added the BLACK+DECKER BXEH60003GB dehumidifier to my home, and overall, I've been quite pleased with its performance. Its sleek, modern design fits well with my decor and its compact size allows it to be easily moved from room to room without being obtrusive. The 12-liter capacity is adequate for my medium-sized living spaces, effectively reducing humidity and creating a more comfortable environment.One of the standout features for me is how quietly it operates. This is a huge plus, especially since I use it in my bedroom and living room where noise can be a distraction. The built-in humidistat is very convenient, allowing me to set my desired humidity level, and it automatically shuts off when the tank is full or when the target humidity is reached, which prevents unnecessary power usage and potential water overflow.A significant advantage is the included hose for continuous drainage. This has been a game changer, eliminating the need for frequent emptying and allowing the dehumidifier to run efficiently for longer periods without maintenance. Additionally, I've started using it to dry clothes, and it works surprisingly well as an alternative to a tumble dryer. My laundry dries faster and feels fresher, all while saving on electricity costs.However, there are a few areas where I think it could be improved. The water tank, while sufficient, fills up quite quickly in particularly humid conditions if you choose not to use the hose. This can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you're using it in a larger room or during very humid seasons.Despite these minor drawbacks, I find the BLACK+DECKER BXEH60003GB to be a solid dehumidifier that delivers on its promises. It's efficient, easy to use, and quiet enough to run in the background without being disruptive. For the price, it's a reliable choice for anyone looking to improve the air quality in their home and add an efficient clothes drying option.
