Dehumidifier

I'm so glad we finally bought one at our place.
We'd opened windows, hung washing outside etc, but we still got a bit of damp and condensation due to the cold, that just wouldn't shift, we ended up getting a Meaco DD8L Dehumidifier
Been very happy with it,0 -
I would say yes get one, I lived in a flat for nearly 7 years, the first few we had damp and mould problems but after we purchased a dehumidifer we didnt, not sure how much leccy it used but we didnt notice much of a difference on our bill. We purchased Delonghi DEM10 and very happy with it

Our's is on all the time except when we are in bed. (3 Bed house)
Running costs five to six pounds a month at this time of the year.
They are well worth the money in our opinion.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0 -
Have you ever considered a heat recovery ventilation fan unit?0

Yes, worth getting. I use mine at times when it's impossible to avoid drying clothes indoors etc. and I notice water on the inside of bathroom window (D/G). Run it while I'm at work and it'll pull out 3 pints or so.0

Also remember that air with a lower moisture content does not feel so cold, so less heating overall.
Are you sure about that? I always thought humid air was supposed to feel warmer. Certainly anyone who has experienced the difference between "dry heat" and "humid heat" while travelling would say that.0 -
first off, work out why you have lots of condensation, is it lack of venting or is the flat not heating up enough,0

Well , after doing research, apparently not, dry air warms up quicker and feels warmer.
Anyway thanks for all your input. I've ordered the one below and am looking forward to seeing what difference it will make.

this was recommended for us but i wondered if it might put potential buyers off if I sell it, plus not totally convinced it would solve the problem, couldn't find anyone with any experience of one - even posted in the forum and not one reply!
we have problems in every room0
