A dehumidifier is a great gadget to invest in for any home, especially if you have children or pets, or suffer from respiratory conditions like asthma. Moisture in the air can lead to mould, mildew and unpleasant smells, so keeping it low is vital for a healthy home. A wall-mounted dehumidifier is the best way to ensure that your entire home is dry, or you could buy one of the many smart dehumidifier uk available that allow you to control them from an app or through voice activation with your home hub.

This slick black unit from EcoAir is small enough to be unobtrusive in your living space and comes in three colours - blue, pink and black - so it will blend in with any décor. It removes up to 450ml of water a day and can be controlled via the panel on top or by downloading the app and connecting it to your smart home devices. It can also be set to switch off automatically after four hours and has an indicator light to let you know when the tank is full.

This is a slightly more pricey model but it's worth it for the functionality on offer, particularly as it doubles as an air purifier too. It's easy to use and has just four control buttons, including a smart setting that adjusts the target humidity in five per cent increments between 40 and 70 per cent. It has a laundry setting too and a 2.1l tank that pulls out for emptying, but it's also compatible with continuous drainage via a 1m plastic hose, so you can avoid having to empty it as often.   smart dehumidifier uk
