As colder weather sets in, many households struggle with condensation at this time of year, and allowing moisture levels to remain high can cause damp, mould and damage to walls.

For those that need to reduce moisture in their homes, dehumidifiers can prove to be a handy solution, and may even solve damp problems completely with consistent use.

They work by drawing excess water from the air, which can make for a healthier and more comfortable environment, while also reducing humidity levels.

The VonHaus Dehumidifier from Amazon is proving to be a 'gamechanger' for some shoppers, and while dehumidifiers are an investment, this is one of the more affordable options we've seen.

Dehumidifiers can help with damp, mould and condensations. The VonHaus dehumidifier is highly-rated on Amazon and can collect up to 12 litres of water.

Costing £109.99, the device holds up to 12 litres of water, and can be emptied throughout the day if needed, to have the maximum effect.

Dehumidifiers have multiple benefits, and the VonHaus model is no different - not only does it reduce condensation, but it can also diminish musty smells and also help clothes to dry.

Placing the dehumidifier next to wet laundry can greatly speed up drying time and is also more energy-efficient than using a tumble dryer, so it could reduce energy bills too.

Some Amazon shoppers are saying they 'absolutely love' the dehumidifier. A shopper posting under the name Juanita said: ''Very good extraction of moisture. Use instead of tumble dryer now.''

Leanne J also added: ''I absolutely love this product. We have been fighting condensation damp in our flat for 3 years. We have tried many different products including other dehumidifiers and nothing has worked anywhere near as good as this one. Within 24 hours the walls and windows were completely condensation-free and no more nasty damp smell. This has been a game-changer for us! Very highly recommended.'' [SIC]

Some of the reviews do mention one negative about the dehumidifier, saying they found it a bit noisy. A user named Thomas said: ''Definitely takes a lot of water out of the air, but it’s a bit noisy. It’s on wheels so easy to move around and relatively easy to empty.'' [SIC]
