‘I’m amazed at the amount of water it extracts’
Condensation-covered windows and damp corners are an unwelcome part of autumn and winter for many households, especially when the colder weather means keeping windows closed more often. But a clever appliance could help tackle excess moisture before it becomes a bigger problem.
The Duux Bora Smart Dehumidifier is currently available for £179.99 for the 12-litre/day capacity version at Yimbly – an online marketplace owned by this site’s parent company, Reach Plc – offering a practical way to manage humidity levels in bedrooms, living rooms and laundry spaces. With the code AUTUMN10 at checkout, however, the device can be snapped up for £162.
The dehumidifier is designed to remove excess moisture from the air using a compressor system, collecting the extracted water in a generous four-litre tank. It features a built-in hygrostat, which helps monitor and control humidity levels, alongside a carbon filter to help keep the air feeling fresher.

The Smart Dehumidifier can also be controlled through the Duux Smart app, allowing users to adjust its settings from their smartphone without having to operate the appliance manually. There are 20 and 30-litre/day versions available, too, at differing prices.

The compressor draws in air and extracts the moisture.

‘Wish I had bought this years ago’
The Duux Bora Smart Dehumidifier from Yimbly has been rated highly; however, as one person said, “Amazing. It’s quiet and draws out the water. Wish I had bought this years ago. It helps reduce the mould. Very reasonable price.”
Another added: “Good quality and value for money. It’s user-friendly and has a good information panel. The cut-off function is a major plus.”
This person said: “Very good dehumidifier. I’m amazed at the amount of water it extracts.”
Some disagreed, however, as one person said: “Does the job, a lot of power, plenty of adjustments. I use auto or manual. Only downside is the water tank is sometimes tricky to slide out, apart from that, it’s OK.”
‘Easy to operate and cheap to run’
Another said: “Efficient and easy to operate. It’s cheap to run – functioning as a room heater as well as a moisture extractor. The only reservation is that it is noisier than expected, even though reviews say it is one of the quietest.”
