What is a Dehumidifier?

A Dehumidifier is a machine that decreases the moisture (humidity) in a room. By reducing condensation and damp, they help prevent mould, mildew, and dust mite activity - which can help people with being comfortable, breathing, and allergies.

Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air removing anywhere from 1 litre up to(in some circumstances) 25 litres of water every day. That moisture and condensation that is taken into the dehumidifier is then released into a removable holding tank inside the device that you empty as needed or via a continuous drainage pipe.

In Asia it is quite common to use a dehumidifier to dry clothes on a clothes horse rather than use a tumble dryer.
