With winter just around the corner, the problem of damp within our homes rears its ugly head. Enter dehumidifiers.
Ousting odours while tackling mould, these nifty appliances are a must-have during the colder months. Plus, their energy-efficient credentials will help you save on your household bills (tick, tick, tick).
As well as reducing dust and allergens in the air, dehumidifiers can also speed up clothes drying times when it comes to laundry loads. This is thanks to the appliance drawing excess moisture from its surroundings.
With a tumble dryer costing up to £1.55 an hour to run, it might be time to consider a dehumidifier instead in light of the rising cost of living.
But, with most models costing between £50 and £400, Aldi has saved the day with its new £44.99 model. The ambaino dehumidifier has joined the budget supermarket’s Specialbuys aisle in time for winter 2024. Here’s everything you need to know.
