Find the Martin Lewis-approved energy-saving gadget at Lidl next week
As winter approaches, homeowners are looking for effective solutions to manage indoor humidity and save on energy bills. Lidl is set to launch the Tronic Dehumidifier, endorsed by personal finance expert Martin Lewis, on Thursday, October 16, priced at £74.99.
Features of the Tronic Dehumidifier
The Tronic Dehumidifier is a practical appliance for reducing humidity and assisting in laundry drying. Here’s what you can expect:
- Capacity: 2.1 liters of water
- Moisture extraction rate: Up to 10 liters
- Power usage: 245W, costing approximately 7p per hour to operate
- Two operational modes: One for drying clothes and another for general dehumidifying
- Warning signal and overflow protection
Energy Efficiency Insights
Martin Lewis, during his podcast, highlighted that dehumidifiers are a more energy-efficient alternative to tumble dryers. He noted that operating a tumble dryer can cost around £1 per hour, especially during the colder months.
For users, understanding the costs associated with running these appliances is crucial. The current price of a kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity is approximately 26.35 pence in the UK, which is based on Ofgem’s energy price cap that runs from October 1 to December 31, 2025. The operational costs of the Tronic Dehumidifier make it a cost-effective option for households aiming to reduce energy expenses while managing indoor humidity.
Availability and Additional Offers
The Tronic Dehumidifier will be sold in limited quantities at Lidl stores, making it important for shoppers to check stock levels in advance. Besides the dehumidifier, Lidl will also unveil a selection of indoor and outdoor plants, along with thermal clothing for all ages on October 16.
For consumers looking to optimize their holiday budgets, it can be beneficial to explore discounts available at various supermarkets, including Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, and Lidl, which promise significant savings on select toy brands.
