Question 1

Is the PB-D-26 6L sufficient for a 12m² bedroom?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! The PB-D-26 is perfectly sized for bedrooms up to 12m² with moderate to high humidity levels. Its 6-litre-per-day capacity is more than enough to maintain a healthy environment between 40-60% humidity. To give you a concrete idea: in a standard 10m² bedroom, it can extract all excess moisture in just a few hours. Its exceptional 39 dB noise level (quieter than a modern refrigerator) makes it particularly suitable for bedrooms. Many users appreciate it for its nighttime silence - you'll completely forget about it while sleeping.

Question 2

What's the difference between the 6L PB-D-26 and 12L PB-D-27?

Accepted Answer

The main difference lies in capacity and coverage area. The PB-D-26 (6L/day) is optimized for small rooms up to 12m² and consumes about 30% less energy than the 12L model. The PB-D-27 (12L/day) is suitable for medium rooms up to 20m² and extracts twice as much moisture per day. Both models share the same exceptional 39 dB noise level, same compact dimensions, and same features (laundry mode, 24h timer, 30-80% humidity control). Choose the 6L if you're looking for the most economical and compact solution for bedrooms, offices or wardrobes. Opt for the 12L if you have larger rooms, very high humidity, or need to dry a lot of laundry regularly. The value for money remains excellent on both models.

Question 3

Can we really use the PB-D-26 in a closed wardrobe or dressing room?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the PB-D-26 is perfectly suited for wardrobes and dressing rooms thanks to its ultra-compact dimensions (20.5 x 25.6 x 43 cm - smaller than a microwave). However, some precautions are important: ensure there's at least 20-30 cm of free space around the device for air circulation, don't completely close the wardrobe door (leave it ajar or drill ventilation holes), and plan easy access to empty the 2L tank every 2-3 days (or connect the supplied continuous drainage hose to the outside). Many users successfully use it in their dressing rooms to protect their clothes, shoes and leather accessories from moisture and mold. It's particularly effective in basement dressing rooms or poorly ventilated wardrobes.

Question 4

Does the laundry drying mode work well with only 6L capacity?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the PB-D-26's laundry drying mode is quite effective for moderate laundry loads! Of course, it doesn't rival 12L or 20L models for large quantities, but it's perfectly suited for 4-6 kg of laundry (a standard machine load for singles or couples). By intensively dehumidifying the air around your hanging clothes, it accelerates evaporation and halves drying time compared to open air. To optimize results: place the dehumidifier in the center of your hanging clothes, use a closed room of 8-12m² maximum, and space out your clothes well on the drying rack. A standard load dries in 6-8 hours (instead of 12-24h). It's ideal for studios, small apartments or student rooms that don't have space for a bulky and energy-hungry tumble dryer.

Question 5

What's the real power consumption of the PB-D-26? Is it really economical?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the PB-D-26 is exceptionally economical with consumption less than 2 pence per hour (about £0.15/hour at average UK rate). Thanks to its optimized compressor and smart sensor that automatically stops it when the target humidity level is reached, actual consumption is much lower than continuous operation. For typical daily use of 6-8 hours per day in automatic mode, expect around £10-15 per month depending on your electricity rate. Compared to an electric dryer that consumes 2000-3000W (£60-90/month), or even a space heater (£100-200/month), it's a real saving. Moreover, a dry house warms up faster and requires less heating in winter, further amplifying savings. Investment in a dehumidifier typically pays for itself in 6-12 months thanks to combined savings on heating, clothes drying and prevention of moisture-related repairs.
