• those buying dehumidifiers why not get an aircon unit that does both?

    looking to get an air conditioner next year before the inevitable heatwave and most seem to have this function built in.

  • Because £400 Vs 150? Plus I'd need 4.

  • There is a tragic irony that as the world gets hotter people start installing aircon to stay cooler!

  • Size and portability no?

    If you've got somewhere you can strap it on to the side of the building, then it makes sense.

    Otherwise dehumidifiers are generally quite small. Whereas portable air con units are massive and have a hose you need to run out of a window.

  • An Aircon unit which will actually make a difference to a decent sized room is big and heavy, 30kg+. Also I don't think they're as energy efficient and lots don't have a proper water tank.

  • I have an air con unit that supposedly does both, it is a crap dehumidifier.
