Shoppers say dehumidifiers do 'excellent job' of combatting damp without any electricity

Damp and mould are common enemies of UK households in the winter, and they can only get worse as the weather gets colder and wetter. A non-electric dehumidifier is a budget-friendly and effective solution for shoppers battling moisture at home, and Amazon has some great deals at the moment.

The retailer is currently offering a 20-pack of the popular Ansio Dehumidifier for £19.95, which works out to under £1 per item, reports the Mirror. The same product is also discounted in packs of five (priced at £7.75 down from £9.47) and 10 (£10.95 from £12.95), with deals available for other quantities as well.

These non-electric dehumidifiers are filled with layers of crystals that, according to the brand, can absorb up to three times their weight in water. They can hold up to 500ml of liquid and measure 15cm across and 10.3cm high, making them small enough to be placed anywhere.

Most plug-in dehumidifiers can be quite bulky and need to be plugged in to work, which can be limiting depending on where the damp is. The Ansio dehumidifiers are more versatile, and their compact size makes them perfect for targeting condensation inside a car or keeping a garden shed free of damp. They can also be tucked inside wardrobes or on top of kitchen cupboards without worrying about plugging them in.

The Ansio dehumidifiers have over 47,000 reviews on Amazon, and shoppers are loving how easy

One happy customer pointed out how easy they are to use, saying: "Have been using these types of dehumidifiers for some years in various locations in my motorhome. Moisture removal is good and effective and when they are "life expired" the liquid can go down the drain and the rest in the bin."

Another wrote: "Had terrible issues with moisture in my old flat, running an active dehumidifier was becoming expensive. These devices really helped, with one per room."

A third review said the dehumidifiers have done an "excellent job", adding: "I usually get problems with mould and mildew on the walls, even throughout the summer. I purchased these less than a week ago as an experiment to try and avoid using an energy-sapping plug-in dehumidifier, and I am happy with my choice."

Another shopper found the dehumidifiers gradual yet effective, saying: "I've been using them for about two weeks now, and they do work, but quite slowly, it took a little while before I noticed any difference."

For more immediate solutions, shoppers who are struggling with heavier condensation or larger areas might have to consider a more powerful alternative, like a plug-in dehumidifier.

Another concern some people may have is that these dehumidifiers are not very environmentally friendly, as they are disposable, in which case a plug-in dehumidifier might be a more sustainable solution.
