Laundry Dehumidifier & Air Purifier - electriQ - CD10P

It removes excess moisture and humidity that can encourage the growth of common allergens, damaging your home and health. If the humidity is too high, your home is at risk of mould, but airborne viruses like the flu can survive longer if it's too low. The CD10P allows you to select your desired humidity level to find the perfect balance that best suits your home. Once the water tank reaches full capacity, the unit will automatically stop running to avoid overflowing, and a tank full light will indicate that the tank needs emptying. The CD10P can also be set up for continuous draining by connecting a hose to the drain outlet at the back. The dehumidifier is perfect for use at night when sleeping, thanks to its low noise level. There's also a timer function - so you can set your dehumidifier to turn on and off automatically to suit your schedule. You can have it running while you're sleeping, at work, or during an off-peak electricity period to save energy and reduce costs.
