Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

Is the Pro Breeze 12L worth buying?

Yes, for a damp bedroom, a flat or a smaller house. The Pro Breeze 12L costs £134.99, holds a Which? Best Buy for 2025, and 5,694 owners rate it 4.6.

If you have a large house or a lot of laundry to dry, the 20L version suits you better.

How quiet and cheap is it to run?

It runs below 38dB, quiet enough for a bedroom or home office. At 200W it costs about 5p an hour at 25p per kWh, and it switches off once the room reaches your target humidity.

What is it like to live with?

You get a digital display, a 24-hour timer and 3 modes: auto, continuous and sleep. It stands 44.5cm tall, weighs about 4.8kg and rolls on 4 wheels. A drain hose is included for continuous use.

Where does the Pro Breeze 12L fall short?

The 1.8L tank is small, so at full speed it can fill in about 3.5 hours. In addition, its price has risen from £114.74 to £134.99 since our last check.

How does it compare with the Devola 12L and the KNKA 16L?

The Devola 12L costs £4.91 more and is a touch quieter at 36dB, with a 2L tank. Meanwhile, the KNKA 16L costs £35 less, extracts more and has a 3L tank, though without the Which? award.
