As the colder holiday season sets in, many UK households are battling a familiar foe: damp and condensation. From clothes that take an age to dry to that persistent chill in the air, the search for effective solutions is on. A popular, electricity-free option has just seen its price drop, offering a handy saving for those looking to keep their homes dry.
A Wire-Free Solution to Winter Damp
The product in question is the Pro Breeze Osmo 1.3L Moisture Absorber with a 700g tablet. Originally priced at £32.99, it is now available for £30.99 at Debenhams, representing a useful 6% saving. This compact dehumidifier requires no plugs or wires, operating silently on moisture-absorbing tablets instead of electricity.
Available in a range of colours including white, grey, black, and blue, its design promises 360-degree coverage to pull dampness from all sides. Each included tablet is designed to last for up to 100 days, and they can be easily swapped out to maintain freshness. The lack of cables means it can be placed in hard-to-reach spots where damp often lurks, from crowded cupboards to bathroom corners.
Shopper Reviews and Alternative Options
Customer feedback on the Pro Breeze model has been largely positive. One satisfied shopper reported, "Works perfectly with no need for wires etc. Has collected a lot of water in a really short time and so far no condensation on windows." Another praised its portability, calling it a "great mobile moisture absorber" that can be moved around as needed.
A third reviewer on the Pro Breeze website noted a dramatic change in their bathroom, stating, "Amazing!... No steam running down walls and my window is so much drier." The minimalist design includes a level indicator and a child-proof lid with a large spout for easy emptying. The brand does note that performance can vary depending on room size and conditions.
However, not all feedback was without caveats. One buyer found the unit smaller than anticipated, while another noted it collected most moisture but some dampness remained on their windows.
For those needing a larger capacity, the Absodry Moisture Absorber XL-Grey from Lakeland is an alternative, priced at £39.99. Suitable for spaces up to 120m³, it comes with two bags of crystals lasting up to three months each and boasts a 10-year guarantee.
Budget-Friendly Multi-Pack Deals
Shoppers dealing with widespread damp may consider a disposable option. On Amazon, the ANSIO Dehumidifier Disposable Pack of 10 Room Moisture Absorbers is currently £9.95, down from £12.95. With over 5,000 units sold in the past month and an average rating of 4.3 stars, these packs offer a cost-effective way to tackle multiple rooms at once.
As winter tightens its grip, these wire-free moisture absorbers present a simple and increasingly popular line of defence against the seasonal problems of condensation and damp, with the Pro Breeze model offering a timely discount for savvy shoppers.
