Keep homes 'fresh and mould-free' with new Home Bargains 6p-an-hour gadget

Detailed summary

The appliance is on offer in stores across the UK and online

Reduce the risks of developing mould and damp problems at home when drying laundry inside with a handy Home Bargains gadget. The cheap-to-run option sucks in a major winter enemy for homeowners who have little choice when the weather turns colder.

The PIFCO Digital Dehumidifier is available for £79.99. The device, which holds up to 12 litres of water, uses very little power to help prevent issues like damp, mould and unwanted odours by removing moisture directly from the atmosphere.

Describing it online, Home Bargains said: "Keep your home fresh and mould-free with the PIFCO Digital Dehumidifier from the Simple range. It removes up to 12 litres of moisture daily with a quiet digital touch panel and energy-saving operation."

Running on just 230W of electricity, the average cost per hour is roughly 6p. This makes it a much cheaper alternative than the tumble dryer (up to 85p per hour on average, depending on the machine).

Using a dehumidifier like this alongside air-drying laundry indoors will significantly reduce the time wet clothes linger in homes. This reduces the risk of moisture escaping and settling in cold corners as damp or mould, as well as eliminating the risk of musty smells settling in rooms.

Shoppers who buy this via home delivery should note that there will be a £3.95 shipping charge for UK mainland orders under £100. If they want to avoid the fee, they can make sure all items in their basket are Saver Delivery Eligible.

Products purchased online via Home Bargains' website are typically dispatched and delivered within four days. For more details about online orders, click here.
