Our verdict
The Daewoo 16L sits in a useful gap between budget 12L models and premium 20L units. At £150, you get 16L/day extraction — enough for a 3-bed semi — with a 380W motor that costs around 10p per hour to run. The dedicated Laundry mode is genuinely effective, and Daewoo claims it significantly reduces indoor drying times compared to a clothes horse alone. The 2.5L tank is bigger than most budget models, and continuous drainage is available via the included hose. A 24-hour timer, LED display and 3-year warranty (with online registration) round out a sensible package. It's not glamorous, but it's honest, well-priced and backed by a brand name you can trust for replacement parts.
