Dehumidifier deals – when and where to get the best savings on Meaco, De'Longhi, Pro Breeze, and more
How to snap up your best defence against damp and mould for less
As dehumidifiers continue to grow in popularity for their ability to help tackle damp, mould, and condensation, they're quickly becoming a must-have appliance for the home. However, the best models don't often come cheap, so knowing how to shop dehumidifier deals can make all the difference.
The Ideal Home team has spent countless hours testing these moisture-extracting devices to compile our guide to the best dehumidifiers on the market, so you can rest assured that we know our stuff when it comes to the best brands to shop and the models to snap up when they go on sale.
Below, we've explained where you should be looking for dehumidifier deals, the best times of the year to shop and other shopping advice.
Where to find the best dehumidifier deals
- Amazon: a wide range of Pro Breeze options
- AO.com: for DeLonghi and Black + Decker
- Appliances Direct: find the much-lauded Meaco Arete
- Argos: competitive pricing on a range of brands
- Currys: find deals on Meaco, Daewoo and more
- Lakeland: look for sales on DeLonghi and their own range
- Meaco: seasonal sales on top-rated models

- Very: discounts on brands like Russell Hobbs and Silentnight
- VonHaus: seasonal offers on dehumidifiers
When is the best time to get dehumidifier deals
Although you can get low cost dehumidifiers (you'll find our tried and tested favourites in our guide to the best dehumidifiers under £100), a cheap dehumidifier can lack power. That's why sale periods can be a great time to browse for top quality dehumidifier deals as they offer the opportunity to snap up a high performing dehumidifier for less.
October to January, when the weather gets cold and wet, are when dehumidifier sales peak, so if you can time your purchase 'out of season' during the summer months then you're more likely to find the cheapest dehumidifier prices. Key discounting events, like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday, are also a great time to look for reduced dehumidifiers.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday
Whether you love it or hate it as a concept, Black Friday can bring some seriously good deals you can take advantage of. Last year, Black Friday dehumidifier deals were fairly thin on the ground due to such high demand, but you could still make impressive discounts on top brands like Meaco, Pro Breeze, VonHaus and more.
The next time Black Friday will roll around will be 28th November 2025.
Amazon Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day – the brand's yearly price-slashing event – can mean some great Prime Day dehumidifier deals. For the last couple of years there have been two of these events, and in 2024 these happened in June and October, seeing discounts on both the ProBreeze Amazon storefront and Russell Hobbs Amazon storefront.
Generally, you need to be a Prime member to take advantage of the biggest discounts on Prime Day. Usually, new Prime members can also access a free 30-day membership trial to test out its perks.
End of season sales
As we've mentioned, if you can manage to make your dehumidifier purchase when demand is low, you've a better chance of scoring a good deal. May-August is usually a solid period to keep your eyes open.
Sale shopping advice
The demands of modern life mean that our homes are constantly being pumped full of moisture thanks to the regular cycle of bathing, cooking, washing and cleaning – all of which use gallons of hot water and can create steam. Let that steam and moisture build up and it will cause dampness, which can stain your walls, and, left unchecked, could cause long-term damage to your home, as well as your health.
If you struggle to properly ventilate your home by opening windows or using extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom, or you're employing one of the best heated clothes airers to dry washing over winter, then a dehumidifier can be a useful ally in tackling excess damp and condensation.
A dehumidifier can be more economical than a tumble dryer when it comes to drying wet washing indoors. You just need to compare how much it costs to run a dehumidifier with how much it costs to run a tumble dryer to see the difference in electricity costs!
How can you tell if you've found good dehumidifier deals?
Price really isn't everything with a dehumidifier. The most important thing you can do is to check out the features. After all, a low-cost option which doesn't do what you need it to do will just be a waste of time, effort and money. Here's what you need to consider:
- Extraction rate: This tells you how much moisture a dehumidifier can suck from the air. It's generally measured in litres per hour, and is a useful way to compare dehumidifier performance levels.
- Room size: Most dehumidifiers will tell you the maximum area they can successfully filter in the specifications. This tends to be measured in m³ which takes into account the room's length, width, and height. The larger the space the dehumidifier can filter, the more expensive it's likely to be, and more powerful appliances are also likely to be heavier and bulkier. However, it's important to invest in a dehumidifier that's powerful enough to cope with your space if you want it to eliminate moisture successfully.
- Noise levels: Most dehumidifiers use a fan to suck air into the unit and pass it through a series of filters to extract the moisture before expelling the air back into the room. This means that dehumidifiers can be noisy, so if peace and quiet are important to you then you'll want to check out the dehumidifier's noise levels before you shop. These are measured in dB with dehumidifiers ranging from around 15dB on their lowest settings to 50dB on max.
- Other features: Depending what's important to you, you may require a machine with a timer, a sleep function or a special laundry mode. Consider where and how you're planning on using your device to craft your list of needs.
