I tend to leave mine running overnight which keeps the moisture under control unless I've done a load of washing (there's no extractor fan in one of the bathrooms so that adds to the problem).
Looking at that dehumidifier you've linked it seems pretty low on extraction rate. Most household ones tend to be 10-20L per day whereas that's 0.5L.

Why would two upstairs flats converted from terraces be so different in this respect? I have zero issues with moisture. Windows steam up when cooking, showering and (noticeably) turbo-training, but it always clears again soon after.
It's double-glazed except for the bathroom and a window above the stairs, although none of it recent. Thermostat is set at 18 deg.

Dehumifier qs.
30s semi. No tumble dryer. Would say we're pretty good at letting the house breathe but we do get condensation on windows (beading, but not running) and I found some condensation on the roof felt in the loft the other day above the master bedroom. Suspect I'd find the same in the space above the bathroom.
Is something like this worth bothering with at all? Best used upstairs I assume? Tend to dry clothes in the bathroom, bathroom and bedroom suffer from most condensation.
