That's because we're in the peak of dehumidifier season, so there's little incentive for retailers to drop prices.
Some retailers, such as AO and John Lewis, are already out of stock of many dehumidifiers, while others aren't budging on price at all. The only discounts we've spotted so far have been small reductions of around £10 on little-known dehumidifier brands on Amazon and DIY.com. Read on for more information.

* Average price in the past six months: Cheapest price in the past six months:
The MeacoDry ABC 10L has been on the market for quite a few years now, but it remains a popular model from one of the biggest names in the dehumidifier market.
This refrigerant dehumidifier has plenty of features, including laundry and night modes, as well as a timer. Just keep in mind that if you need a dehumidifier for an unheated space, you'll want to consider a desiccant model instead.

The Blyss 16L WDH-316DB is a fairly basic refrigerant dehumidifier, but it's a good bit cheaper than anything else you'll find on sale at the moment.
Like most refrigerants, it’s not best suited for use in chillier conditions, so if you're looking to dry out an unheated space, such as a garage, opt for a desiccant model instead.

See all ourWhat size and type of dehumidifier should I buy?
Patrick Gallagher, Which? researcher says:
Choosing a type
'The type of dehumidifier you choose will depend on the conditions of the space you want to use it in.
'Refrigerant dehumidifiers are typically more energy efficient and work best in normal room temperatures, but will struggle (or not work at all) in rooms below 10°C.
'If you need a dehumidifier for an unheated room, such as a cellar, garage or attic, then you'll want to buy a desiccant model. These are designed in a way that allows them to function more effectively in cold rooms.
Choosing a size or capacity
'As for the size or capacity of a dehumidifier, this describes how many litres of water it's able to extract from the air each day, and ranges from seven to 40 litres. Which capacity you need depends on the size of the space you want to use it in, how many people are living in the home generating moisture through activities such as cooking, washing and doing laundry, and the extent of your damp problem.
'A 7-12 litre capacity model will suit a single person living in a small flat, looking to tackle a mild damp problem. Dehumidifiers with a capacity of 14-16 litres are suitable if there are more of you creating moisture through activities such as showering, cooking and washing clothes at home, or your damp problem is more severe.
'If you have a lot of moisture you need to get rid of fast, then you'll likely want a model with a large capacity of 18+ litres.'

If you're looking to replace an ageing dehumidifier by shopping the winter sales, make sure you dispose of your old one in a sustainable way.
One option is kerbside collection for small electrical items – in many cases, your local council will collect smaller items such as toasters and kettles. Alternatively, you can drop items at a local recycling centre, or hand them over to retailers that have their own recycling schemes.
