Once Dutch autumn sets in, the spec that actually decides a dehumidifier is not litres per day but tank size and hose length. This one is rated at 16 litres a day and holds 2.5.
What you need to know
From September Dutch homes start to hold damp: condensation on the windows, a smell in the wardrobe, laundry still not dry after two days.
Read the tank, not the extraction rate
It is rated at up to 16 litres a day, but the tank holds 2.5. At anything near that rate it fills every three to four hours, which is four or five emptyings a day. A 1.35 m drain hose is in the box, and with it the unit drains continuously.
Hose length decides where it can stand
Bedrooms in Dutch rentals rarely have a floor drain; bathrooms and kitchens do. If the damp room is the bedroom, either accept emptying it daily or put the unit in the bathroom with the door shut and dry only that room. Measure from the damp room to the nearest drain before ordering: past 1.35 m the hose is no help.
240 W, about 1.9 kWh over eight hours
The spec sheet lists 240 W, 45 dB and rooms up to 70 m². Eight hours of continuous running is roughly 1.9 kWh, so multiply by your own tariff for a monthly figure. At 45 dB it is audible in a bedroom at night; run it during the day and switch it off before bed if that matters.
Field note
There is also a laundry-drying mode, useful for drying indoors in winter, but it runs at full speed, fills the tank faster and makes the hose more or less essential.
