For a cold or unheated room, choose a compressor model rated for low temperatures and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Cropton.

With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Yes — to dry out a cellar or get through a damp spell, a few days' hire is often enough and costs far less than buying.
How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while a flooded space in Cropton may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
A dehumidifier tackles the root: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it won't keep returning in Cropton.
