Type
Compressor dehumidifiers have refrigerant mechanisms and are generally less expensive to run. Desiccant dehumidifiers are ideal for colder temperatures as they emit warm air. Peltier dehumidifiers are better suited to smaller spaces like bedrooms and cars.

Question from Wiola: Asked on 14/04/2026 Good Evening. Please tell me how long can it takes to dry loundry
Hi, The electriQ CD20LE dehumidifier includes a Laundry Mode designed to assist indoor clothes drying by continuously removing moisture from the air. The manual advises using it in a closed room, positioned near the laundry, with suitable humidity settings for best performance. Drying time is not fixed and will vary depending on load size, fabric type, spin speed, and room conditions. The unit operates until the selected conditions are met or the water tank requires emptying.
Thank you.
Hi Wiola,With a 20L dehumidifier like the electriQ CD20LE, indoor laundry usually dries in about 4–6 hours for light items, around 6–10 hours for a normal mixed load, and up to 12 hours for heavier things like towels or bedding, depending on room temperature, airflow, and how well the clothes are spun.Thanks!
Question from Li: Asked on 20/02/2026 Hi. The ‘dehumidifier’ function switches off at 52. Is this standard or can I alter the settings so it runs for longer
Thanks
Hi, The behaviour you’re seeing with the electriQ CD20LE — the dehumidifier switching off around 52?% relative humidity — is normal, as the unit’s built-in humidistat automatically stops the compressor once the set target humidity is reached to save energy. You can make it run longer by either setting a lower target humidity (as low as 35?%) in High/Low mode, using Laundry mode, which prioritises continuous moisture extraction until the water tank is full, or fitting a permanent drain hose, which allows the unit to operate beyond the target humidity. Standard dehumidifier mode cannot run continuously regardless of humidity, but these options let you extend operation as needed.
Thank you.
Question from Saa: Asked on 21/11/2025 Hi,
Is the UV suitable to use around little children? Is it completely enclosed and not visible?
Hi,The ElectriQ CD20LE dehumidifier’s UV sterilisation is fully enclosed inside the unit, so the UV light is not visible and should be safe to use around children, provided the appliance is placed out of their reach and they are not allowed to tamper with it.Thanks!
Question from Karen: Asked on 14/11/2025 Does this automatically switch off when the water tank is full?
Hi Karen,Yes, the electriQ CD20LE Dehumidifier features an automatic shut-off function when the water tank becomes full. When the tank reaches its maximum capacity, the dehumidifier will automatically turn off to prevent overflow. Additionally, it has a full tank indicator light to notify you when the tank needs to be emptied. You can either manually empty the tank or connect a continuous drainage option if you prefer not to have to empty it regularly.Thanks!
Question from Emily: Asked on 10/11/2025 Hi, what jepa and charcoal filters are compatible with this? The filters you have tend to say they are compatible with CD20LE -v2, -v3, -v4, or -v5, would these work?
Hi Emily,For your ElectriQ Premium 20L Low-Energy Quiet Laundry Dehumidifier (CD20LE), only filters explicitly listed as compatible with your model—such as the HEPA-CDLEX and Active Carbon ACFIL-CDLEX filters for CD20LE-V4—are guaranteed to fit and perform correctly. Filters labeled for CD20LE-V2, -V3, or -V5 might physically fit, but compatibility isn’t assured, and using them could reduce efficiency or cause airflow issues. To ensure proper operation, it’s best to use the official ElectriQ HEPA and carbon filters designed for your specific version.Thanks!
Question from Roger: Asked on 31/10/2025 Are the filters washable, if not how long do they last?
Hi Roger,The Electriq CD20LE dehumidifier has a washable mesh filter that can be vacuumed regularly and, if heavily soiled, washed with hot soapy water and thoroughly dried before reinserting. Optional filters, such as carbon or HEPA filters, are not washable and should be replaced every 3–6 months.Thanks!
Question from M: Asked on 17/10/2025 Does this have an anti-bacterial function to prevent mould growing in the tank?
Thank you
Hi, Yes, the electriQ Premium 20L Low-Energy Quiet Laundry Dehumidifier CD20LE is equipped with an antibacterial function designed to prevent mould growth in the water tank.
Thank you.
Question from PJ: Asked on 13/01/2025 Does laundry mode need frequent emptying?
Hi Penny,
Thanks for getting in touch
You'll need to empty this a bit more in laundry mode, but it depends how wet your clothes are.
You can also set this to continously drain into a container
This has a very large tank, 6L is the highest capacity that's commonly available for a domestic dehumidifiers
Hope this helps,
Sam
Question from Andrea: Asked on 21/02/2023 Thanks for responding earlier. If both models have 6L tanks what exactly is the 12 or 20 L referring to? What do you get with the larger capacity? Thanks
Hi Andrea,
This is the extraction rate of the dehumidifier.
Kind Regards
Tom
Question from Andrea: Asked on 21/02/2023 What is the difference in tank size between the 12 & 20 L models?
Hi Andrea,
Both the cd12le and cd20le have a 6L water tank.
Regards
Tom
Question from Nika: Asked on 30/01/2023 Hello. When Air Purifier is on what does numbers on display mean. It is showing number 13 then 14. There is no any information about it. Thanks for your help.
Hi Nika,
Thanks for getting in touch.
It's the humidity rating of the room, scale is up to 100, so 13/14 is low.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Question from Karolina: Asked on 24/01/2023 How does the "UV sterilization" function work? It can be turned on separately or only works together with the air purifier?

Question from Lisa Iggo: Asked on 24/01/2021 How much does it cost to run daily?
Question from Rachel: Asked on 30/12/2015 I am looking for a dehumidifier to replace an old one that I run on a timer in my cellar 24-7. Because it runs so much I really want a low energy one. It doesn't have to be fancy or attractive as behind a closed door. Main criteria - efficient, low cost and low energy, auto cut off when tank full. What would you recommend? Thanks
