The Best Quiet Dehumidifiers of 2024 Tried & Tested by Quiet Mark
As Autumn makes its glorious entrance, turning leaves into a riot of beautiful colour, it also brings rainy days and colder weather. When the central heating goes back on and clothes drying comes back indoors, a good dehumidifier will help to normalise a room’s humidity levels, making the air more comfortable and reduce the signs and odours of dampness. However, a noisy appliance will quickly add to your list of woes and can disrupt the quiet sanctuary you are hoping to create.
Quiet Mark lab tests current models on the market identifying the quietest models to help you invest in low noise tech, so you can enjoy your space and be fully prepared for the change of seasons ahead - come rain or shine.
Invest in Quiet
Quiet Mark Certified dehumidifier brand Meaco found a large majority of people place their dehumidifier close to the bedroom, highlighting the importance of factoring noise into the design of household appliances. For consumers, sourcing a quiet appliance couldn't be more in demand as Quiet Mark’s latest National Noise Report found 82% of Brits say it matters how loud an appliance is when buying a product. Fortunately, Quiet Mark takes on the science, so you don't have to.
Quiet Mark has tested dozens of dehumidifiers in its purpose-built Quiet Mark lab, which is designed to mimic a real-life home environment, where acoustic tests and sound measurements are routinely performed. "It's not only decibel levels we listen out for as the sound quality of an appliance is taken into consideration during our in-house testing assessments", says Richard Wilkinson, Technical Manager at Quiet Mark. He adds, "this means that even if two noise sources have the same decibel level, differences in frequency content can result in one being perceived as annoying to listen to, in which case, it will not be eligible for certification." So, when you see the distinct purple Q on a dehumidifier, you can be certain it is not only one of the quietest currently available on the market, but it is also pleasant on the ear. You can also check it's quiet, before you buy it, on the Quiet Mark free to use online sourcing directory.
