TCP Smart Dehumidifier 20L (White)

How much electricity does this dehumidifier use?

The unit consumes 314 watts of power during operation. The energy-efficient design includes automatic shut-off when target humidity is reached, which reduces overall power consumption. Running costs will vary depending on humidity levels and usage patterns, but the automatic control helps minimise unnecessary energy use.

Can I control this dehumidifier when I'm not at home?

Yes, the TCP Smart app allows complete remote control via WiFi connection. You can turn the unit on or off, adjust humidity settings, set schedules and monitor performance from anywhere with internet access. The app works on both iOS and Android devices and provides real-time status updates.

How often do I need to empty the water tank?

The 4.5L tank capacity means emptying frequency depends on humidity levels and room conditions. In high humidity conditions, you might need to empty it daily. However, the included drain hose allows continuous drainage, eliminating the need for manual emptying when connected to a suitable drain point.

Is this dehumidifier suitable for bedrooms?

Absolutely. The whisper-quiet operation at 36dB(A) makes it ideal for bedrooms and other quiet spaces. This noise level is similar to a quiet library, so it won't disturb sleep or daily activities. The compact design and portable features also make it easy to move between rooms as needed.

What room size can this dehumidifier handle effectively?

This unit is designed for rooms up to 25 square metres. The 20L daily extraction capacity and 120 cubic metres per hour airflow rate provide effective moisture control for medium-sized rooms, including bedrooms, living rooms, basements and conservatories.

Does this work with existing smart home systems?

Yes, it integrates with Alexa, Google Home and Siri Shortcuts without requiring additional hubs. The WiFi connectivity allows it to work alongside other smart home devices. You can create routines and automation through your preferred voice assistant platform.

How do I know when the water tank is full?

The unit features a clear water level indicator on the 4.5L tank, allowing visual monitoring of water levels. When the tank reaches capacity, the dehumidifier automatically stops operation and displays a full tank indicator. This prevents overflow and protects the unit from damage.

Can I set different humidity levels for different times of day?

Yes, the TCP Smart app includes scheduling functionality that allows you to set different humidity targets throughout the day. You can create custom schedules for weekdays and weekends, adjusting both humidity levels and operating times to match your daily routine and preferences.
