Category questions

What size dehumidifier do I need for a large room

For big living rooms or open plan areas, a twenty litre dehumidifier is usually the best choice. It extracts moisture quickly enough to keep up with daily use.

Where should I place a dehumidifier in a large room

Place the unit near the centre of the room with space around it so air can circulate. Avoid pushing it into a corner or hiding it behind furniture.
