Product evaluation explained

The National Flood School has carried out a survey of 25 of the most popular dehumidifiers and what the results show, is that when it comes to extracting moisture dehumidifiers don't always do what they say on the tin or the box. When dehumidifier manufacturers test their new equipment, they use a controlled environment so the results always look great, but as we all know, when you take same piece of equipment into the field and use it under flood conditions the results are some what different and not what the manufacturers want you to know before you buy. Oops, too late!

All 25 models were tested (in a flooded house) for amount of water pumped or collected in a bucket, manufacture quality, price, durability, after sales service and the ratio between how much moisture was removed versus the original buy price. The results were plotted and each device was placed into one of five classifications, Class 4 being the lowest performer and Class 1 plus being highest performer. The top three devices were also given a medal depending on their value for money rating.
