Is your dehumidifier about to expire? Experts reveal how long they really last
"Dehumidifiers can be expensive, so it's worth knowing when yours might reach the end and what you can do to make it run longer. Just like any other appliance in your home, even the best dehumidifiers have an inevitable lifespan. However, there are steps you can take to help them run efficiently for longer - whether it's using auto mode initially to prevent motor strain or thoroughly drying the unit after cleaning to prevent mould build-up."
"Provided you treat them with proper care and follow standard dehumidifier maintenance advice, dehumidifiers can last between five and 10 years, according to Katie Lilywhite, a dehumidifier expert at AO. However, it's worth bearing in mind that desiccant dehumidifiers can wear out faster than compressor models, as their absorbent material degrades over time. The lifespan also depends on the quality of your device, how you store it and how often you use it."
Dehumidifiers generally last between five and ten years when given proper care and routine maintenance. Desiccant dehumidifiers often deteriorate faster than compressor models because their absorbent material degrades over time. Lifespan also depends on device quality, storage conditions and frequency of use. Prevent premature failure by easing devices back into use after storage, running gentle auto modes to avoid motor strain, cleaning and drying filters and exteriors, and thoroughly drying the unit after cleaning to prevent mould. Regular maintenance and sensible operation practices help maintain efficiency and extend operational life.
