In a mid price range for a decent model with energy saving system, the cheapest offer on the EBac 2650e is £142.99 delivered from
freenet ltd

EBac themselves do clearance offers, 2 models at the moment

For something along the smaller models but still reputable make the cheapest Amcor QT120 I can find is available from Home Style Shop at £99.99 plus £4.99 delivery (total of £2 cheaper than the Empire Direct offer)

You may be very lucky and find the half price clearance Challenge Compact at a local Argos store for £49.99

Went into my woolies a few days ago, one branch had one, about the size and height of a portable tv for £19.99 and had another smaller one say about 6inches by 14 inches for the same price.

Went into my local Aldi and they had a small one suitable for a room for £19.99. looked quite descent too.

Our rented flat suffers terribly from condensation - now that it is winter I cen't keep opening the windows so want to find a cheap dehumidifier that could keep the whole flat mould-free. I'm sick of sponging the walls with bleach every 3 days and the kids' asthma is starting to play up. Unfortunately we are stuck here for another year and can't afford to move... It was managably mouldy until the landlord put in double glazing over the summer, but the mould is now going mad! How big a machine do I need, and where can I get a cheap one???? I can't find the half price Argos one, by the way - nowhere local has it... Thanks!

I was looking for one recently and was taken aback at how expensive they were. I eventually bought this one from Homebase for £63.99 (instore) which was the best deal I could find.

It says it will remove 10 litres a day but the tank only holds 2 litres so will require emptying several times a day but you can attach a 'hose' for continuous emptying. I only have it on at night in the children's room which was badly affected by condensation but it's very quiet and doesn't disturb them while it's running. After a week the room feels a lot warmer and it's collecting less water so seems to be doing the trick!

Do you think it would do a whole flat? If i had to choose a room that needed it most, I don't think I could... Have spent an hour this morning scrubbing walls with bio washing powder. Last week I tried vinegar, before that bleach. This can't go on - I have better things to do with my life!

By the way - if anyone can think of one under £100 but that you can get something like an online discount or Pigsback points for then that will help. Seems like I have to spend, so i may as well get money off.

This might help or it might not, but Focus were doing small dehumidifiers for £19.99. When I say small, they do fit on a shelf or ledge so aren't the biggest in the world so might not do for your purposes but we bought one for our conservatory a few weeks back (so I don't know if the offer is still running) and it's made a huge difference in there. When it's dry, we've been emptying the water every week but it's been every 2 or 3 days when the weather has been particularly damp or we've had more than one or two people in there.

hth in some way
