Frequently asked questions

No, a compressor dehumidifier typically draws 200 to 400 W, roughly 0.2 to 0.4 kWh per hour of running. It cycles off once the humidistat reaches its target, usually 50 to 55 percent. Compare wattage, litres removed per day and whether it has auto shut-off; desiccant models generally use more power.

An indoor relative humidity of 40 to 60 percent is generally considered comfortable and healthy. Below it, air irritates airways; above it, mould and dust mites thrive. A hygrometer or smart weather station lets you track each room and trigger a humidifier or dehumidifier automatically.

Yes, a purifier with a true HEPA filter reduces pollen, pet dander and some airborne dust. It does not replace ventilation or cleaning. Check the filter grade (H13 or higher), a clean air delivery rate (CADR) suited to the room, and the running cost of replacement filters.

Pick a purifier whose clean air delivery rate (CADR, in m³/h) matches your room; a common rule of thumb is a CADR of at least two thirds of the floor area in m² for standard ceilings. Aim higher for allergies. Also check the noise level on night mode.

Portable air conditioners cool a room without installation, but they are less efficient than fixed split units, especially single-hose models that draw room air outdoors. Check the EU energy label for the class and cooling capacity. A dual-hose design, a well-sealed window kit and a timer reduce consumption.
