The details
Compact, yet powerful, this dehumidifier extracts up to 12L or moisture per day. Ideal for up to three bed homes or small to medium offices, it’ll remove excess moisture and humidity from the air and therefore reduce the risk allergens that could affect your health or home. It also gives you the option to set your desired humidity level, creating the perfect conditions for your space. A high humidity puts your home at risk of mould while a low humidity produces an ideal environment for the spread of airborne viruses such as flu. There's even room for an optional HEPA filter, which removes allergens from the air for a cleaner environment.
With simple touch controls and a clear LED display, it's easy to set to your desired humidity. A traffic light system delivers a clear indication of the humidity level in your room by showing red for high, amber for comfortable and green for low or dry.
Once the 2.5L tank has reached its capacity, the dehumidifier will automatically stop to avoid overflowing and the tank full light will turn on. There is the option to drain continuously thanks to the drainage hose which is available to buy separately.
Top Tip: Use the dehumidifier to significantly reduce the drying time of damp laundry indoors by setting the humidity level to 35%.

Question from Tony: Asked on 26/04/2026 Is there a fan also built into this
Hi Tony,The electriQ Essential 12L (CD12PW3) does not have a separate fan-only mode or an additional built-in air circulation fan, but it does include an internal fan that runs as part of the dehumidifying process to draw air through the unit and remove moisture.Thanks!
Question from Paul: Asked on 11/02/2026 Can it be used with a continuous drain hose?
Hi, Yes, the ElectriQ 12L CD12PW dehumidifier can be used with a continuous drain hose. You just attach a hose to the back outlet, and water will automatically drain to a lower-level point, so you don’t need to empty the tank. Just make sure the hose runs downward and is securely connected.
Thank you.
