Starting to feel a nip in the air?

Having woken up to condensation on my windows this morning I am wonder if summer is over already…  or will we have a lovely Indian summer?

Dehumidifiers

Either way it’s time to switch on my dehumidifier to reduce the amount of moisture in my home.  I purchased this one last year and so far I am impressed.

Meaco 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier and Air Purifier for Damp and Condensation in the Home. Cleans Air, helps Allergy Sufferers

• Low Energy Dehumidifier that leads the way in lower bills
• Comes with free HEPA filter for air purification
• Unique Meaco control logic operating system
• Variable humidistat between 30 to 80%rh & digital display
• Auto stop when the tank is full & cover to prevent spillage.

I  have also tried the popular brand Ebac:

Ebac 2250e 15 Litre Dehumidifier for Condensation, Damp and Mould with Smart Auto-Function, ​Laundry Boost and Air Purification Mode, Free 2 Year Warranty, White

• Problem solved – eliminates condensation, dampness, mould and odours caused by trapped moisture around your home
• Made in Britain for the cold and wet British Climate with our unique Condensation Cure Guarantee, Britain’s best selling dehumidifier
• Our powerful dehumidifier – 15 litre extraction rate adjusts seamlessly with any environment. Front loading water container
• Exclusive energy saving Smart Technology automatically detects when to operate providing total home protection
• Powerful laundry boost and air purification mode. 2.1 metre long cord. Has water container full indicator

Both of these dehumidifiers are great for drying washing too – those delicate items of clothing that can’t go in the tumble dryer!

Heaters

These have a similar spec and price:
