Dehumidifiers & Airers

Dehumidifiers & Airers

Choosing between a dehumidifier and a clothes airer comes down to whether the problem is damp air or wet washing, and most Irish homes end up needing both. Compressor and desiccant dehumidifiers are sized by daily litre extraction, running from compact 0.7 litre and 10 litre units for a bedroom or bathroom up to 20 litre and 30 litre models for a whole house or a damp utility room, with an industrial 30 litre option for sheds, garages and building sites. Smart dehumidifiers add a humidistat and auto shut-off, 3-in-1 units combine dehumidifying with air purification and ionising, and one model doubles as a 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner. For lighter damp control, moisture absorbers use disposable 450g or 680g tubs, hanging bags or refill packs instead of electricity, suiting wardrobes, caravans and small rooms. On the airer side, heated clothes airers dry washing faster indoors on a low-wattage element, in winged, tiered and over-bath extendable formats, while unheated clothes airers and clothes horses range from compact concertina and folding frames to wall-mounted winged and tower designs offering 12 to 30 metres of hanging space for larger households.

Bonura carries the widest moisture absorber range, its AirOne Classic and Lite tubs and refill packs sold in 450g and 680g sizes, while Unibond adds the Aero 360 system with scented refill packs. Brabantia leads on clothes airers, with HangOn winged, tower and wall-mounted designs offering 15 to 30 metres of drying space. De Vielle adds further heated and concertina airers alongside 10 and 20 litre dehumidifiers, and Dimplex contributes 10 and 20 litre compressor units plus a combined air conditioner and dehumidifier. Black & Decker spans the widest catalogue here, with mini, 12 litre and 20 litre smart dehumidifiers alongside heated, wheeled and over-bath airers, while Russell Hobbs covers compact 600ml through to 10 and 20 litre dehumidifiers.
