Our verdict
The Devola 12L is the best value dehumidifier you can buy in the UK right now. At under £120, it undercuts almost everything at this extraction rate while still delivering the fundamentals well: 12L/day extraction, 36 dB operation, a laundry mode, adjustable humidistat (30–80%), and a 12-hour timer. Running costs are just 5p per hour at current rates. The 2L tank is on the small side — you'll empty it daily in a damp home — but continuous drainage solves that if you have a floor drain nearby. Build quality is honest rather than premium, and there's no app control or air purification, but at this price you're getting a genuine Which? Great Value winner that does the core job well.
