The other area the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode aims to improve upon the performance of its predecessor, thePro Breeze 20L Dehumidifier with Laundry Mode, is in noise levels. Energy Efficient: Using an energy-efficient compressor, it removes up to 20 litres of water daily with low power consumption. There are just a couple of things that I think let this dehumidifier down. For a start, the handle is really difficult to get to grips with, so if you’re planning on moving this appliance around the home frequently then you may want to consider another model that has a proper handle. If you’re just moving it from room to room, you may not find it such a problem as the castors do work well on a range of flooring. One thing I really like about the Pro Breeze 20L Premium is that it has a couple of different automatic modes so you don’t have to worry about manually choosing the right setting.

Automated Humidity Detection: A smart humidity sensor, featuring LED indicators, constantly observes the moisture levels within a room and automatically powers down the dehumidifier once the desired humidity level is achieved. That said, you may not need to move this dehumidifier around too much. It has a generous 35sqm range, so if you’re in a small to medium-sized home, it should do its job if placed in one central location. Maintenance The Normal dehumidifying mode will work to bring a room's humidity to whatever humidity level you prefer (between 30% and 80% humidity), before switching off. Pre-ProBreeze, our home office was practically uninhabitable at times with damp walls collecting mould and condensation. But after one week of introducing the ProBreeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier we've experienced a marked improvement. There is visibly less dampness, a palpable freshness to the air, and crucially, dry floors and walls.The Pro Breeze Premium 20L Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode arrived in a large cardboard box. This isn’t a light machine, in fact, it weighs in at 13kg, but thankfully, there are cutouts on the side of the box, which made lifting it and bringing it inside a whole lot easier. Costs as little as 12 p/hour to run: Our dehumidifier has been designed to be energy-efficient with low power consumption.

And, on testing, I found the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode performed exceptionally well. Living in a Victorian terraced house, our home does suffer with damp and mould, and this dehumidifier extracted enough moisture from the air to fill the water tank in just four hours when I first powered it up. The Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode has a generous 5.5L water tank, so keeping on top of emptying it isn't too much of a chore.

The ProBreeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier promises to radically reduce condensation and damp in a matter of days. I put it to the test in my damp home office to see how well it delivers

The Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode can extract up to 20 litres of excess moisture from the air per day, making it perfect for larger spaces up to 35 square meters.

Large water tank: The ample 5.5L water tank conveniently shuts off when full and the ProBreeze comes with a continuous drainage hose that can be inserted directly into a drain if required. I found this made it really difficult to carry the weighty appliance up and down stairs. It’s not too bad just transporting it from room to room, but between floors, it’s awkward. This isn’t a small dehumidifier by any means, and as well as weighing 13kg, it’s tall. So if you’re trying to carry it up and down stairs you have to lift it quite high to avoid tripping. I think a handle works so much better in these situations. Digital LED Display: The Digital LED screen displays the current room humidity level and allows you to control 5 dehumidification modes including strong, continuous, normal, ventilation and laundry.Running costs vary depending on the size, make and model of dehumidifier you opt for. However, despite Pro Breeze making efforts to lower the running costs of the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode when compared to its predecessor, the Pro Breeze 20L Dehumidifier with Laundry Mode, the latest model still uses a fairly hefty 440W to operate.

The bit that this dehumidifier really struggles with is the handle. Rather than a fold-up handle like you see on other models in the range, such as the ProBreeze 12L and the ProBreeze 30L, this 20L Premium model has recessed hand-holds in the body of the dehumidifier. Large Water Tank: The 5.5L water tank automatically shuts off when full, with a continuous drainage hose included for long-term use. Automatic Humidity Sensor: The built-in humidity sensor allows you to set your desired room humidity between 30%-80%.

Overall, I was really impressed by the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier's performance. Energy use The main bug-bear owners of the bestselling Pro Breeze 20L Dehumidifier with Laundry Mode note is its noisy operation which is reflected in its decibel rating of 48dB. The Pro Breeze Premium promises reduced noise levels of 42dBin comparison. I was particularly eager to test out this clothes drying function as in our draughty Victorian terrace house, wet washing can often take days to dry. And as anyone in a cold house will be able to relate to, I'm always looking for ways to stop clothes smelling damp when drying them indoors . Along with the MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier, the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier's Special Laundry Mode is definitely the best dehumidifier for clothes drying out of all the dehumidifiers that I've tested. Special Laundry Mode: Reduce the drying time of damp laundry indoors by absorbing moisture in the air from wet clothes.
