TheButchersDog-
We splashed out on the Meaco Arete One 25L, costs 10p/hr at current rates - don’t have a specific schedule for when and how long we put it on for, generally if the thermostat says it’s above 62% RH or so I might press the button. Though that 62% is completely arbitrary on my part.
Got the biggest one knowing we’d have it working in a big area (essentially allof downstairs, c.50sqm), it looks nice as these things go, the house was damp/had been empty for 18months when we bought it (incl. open window; uncapped+unflaunched chimney stack; cracked windowsil) and lastly that we were temporarily flush at the time of purchase as we had the renovation budget to play with (he says, 12 months later having not finished, run out of money, and needing to take out another loan to cover life shit…)
Will stick it on tomorrow and try to gauge how much water it extracts over a given time at a certain temp and RH.

on the humidity chat - for anyone in an old-ish (victorian/edwardian) house, what’s your average RH%?
Ours is about 58-65ish most of the time, with low 50s when the dehumidifier is on (semi open plan downstairs)
