Excellent does an amazing job
Wish I’d got this sooner, always have condensation on the upstairs windows, with 5 adults in the house the bathroom is in constant use !! It’s removing 12 litres every couple of days, in my opinion quiet, like the noise of a fan. Excellent would recommend.

Amazing product
I bought this a few weeks ago and it is excellent! So worth the money, it’s incredible how much water it removes from the air. We had problems with clothes drying indoors smelling damp due to taking so long to dry in winter and this has completely solved the issue. Would definitely recommend.

Does what it states
Bought to dry laundry as main use - it is easy to use has a timer - don’t find emptying water as difficult as some reviews said. I chose one that does not use WiFi as prefer a timer - the noise is also acceptable and does exactly as I needed it for. Did take extended warranty due to some reviews only time will tell

Challenge Dehumidifier D015B
Good value for money. It works well as a dehumidifier, though it is noisier than expected, but a reasonable amount. The only disappointment is that the humidity gauge is at least 10% out from the true level of humidity, so you never know the true value. A separate humidity gauge is recommended. The manufacturer needs to improve on this.

It does actualy work.
Two previous Dehumidifiers never collected a drop of water, so I am amazed that this one does actually work. My two bedroom apartment has a condensation problem in winter, producing mold on the walls for a few weeks, so I desperately need a solution. While I am in awe of the water collected by this, I think I would need one in every room to cure the problem, and so far I don't know how much this is adding to my electric bill. When plugged in, it quickly reduced the air moisture from around 88 to 62, but that's as far as it gets. So still condensation on the windows in a morning. But, it's better than nothing.

Hello Craig.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for Challenge D015B 12L Dehumidifier.
Yes, a 12L dehumidifier can help dry out floorboards and carpet after a water leak has been fixed — but its effectiveness depends on a few key factors:
What it can do:
Extract up to 12 litres of moisture per day (under optimal conditions).
Help reduce humidity levels in the room, which speeds up the drying of porous materials like wood and carpet.
Prevent mould and mildew growth by keeping the environment dry.
Considerations:
Room Size: A 12L unit is typically suitable for small to medium rooms (e.g., bedrooms, small living rooms). If the affected area is large, it might be underpowered.
Extent of Water Damage: If the floorboards or carpet are saturated, you may need:
A wet vacuum or carpet extractor first.
A larger dehumidifier (20L+), or multiple units.
Air Circulation: Use fans to improve airflow and help the dehumidifier work more efficiently.
Temperature: Dehumidifiers work best in warmer environments (above 15°C). If it's cold, drying will be slower.
Thank you for using Q & A.
