Keeping the fan speed setting on low when not drying clothes is another helpful way of keeping costs down and the damp away. You can choose the optimal humidity for a room, and the dehumidifier will keep extracting until this level is reached and then cease, so will not stay on longer than needed. One of the reasons for this efficiency is its smart settings. So if you're looking for how to save money this winter, a cost-effective dehumidifier like this one may be a good solution. Running at an impressive 7p per hour, the Swan dehumidifier is powerful and efficient, so much so you don’t have to panic about running up your energy bills when using it (unlike tumble dryers). However, because of the Swan’s auto-shut-off mode, as soon as the tank is full, the machine stops and won’t start again until it is emptied. As a busy professional, I have forgotten on occasion to empty the tank, which with a lot of other models would mean puddles in our living room. The auto-shut-off with the Swan dehumidifier is greatly appreciated in my household. This dehumidifier is a refrigerant model, which means there is a metal plate within the machine that is cooled, the moisture from the air condenses on this plate and as it builds up the water drips into the water tank. With this model specifically, should the water tank become full during any unattended hours then the machine is designed to automatically switch off, so there's no chance of rooms flooding.

One of the Swan dehumidifier's features is its 24-hour timer function. However the pipe is only 30cm long, so won't stretch far. The water tank can only hold four litres before it needs emptying, but the machine comes with a pipe which can be fitted to allow for continuous drainage. The capacity of this machine is one of its main selling points, with the potential to extract 20 litres of water in one 24-hour sitting. Either way, it would It be distracting if you’re in the same room, especially if trying to work or sleep. But on a low setting is much more subtle. When the fan mode is on high, the dehumidifier makes a whirring noise at around 45dB, which, for context, is slightly quieter than the noise of a dishwasher. Overall, this is an impressive dehumidifier, however I found it to be noisier than I would have liked. How well does the Swan Activair 20L Dehumidifier perform? Noise After trying out different timer lengths, I found that setting it on for 6 hours in the morning around 8 am, central in the room with airers meant I could come home from work and the clothes would be dry and ready to fold away.
