Sounds like the Early Learning Centre version at 600ml! I have been surprised how much difference mine makes in winter despite not being a large industrial unit. It sits in the draughty wooden extension garage and seems to keep enough moisture out to stop bare steel and tools corroding. On really cold damp days you can feel the difference when you walk in there, some of which I attribute to the heat generated from the unit.

I can't comment on the lidl one but my previous dehumidifier (in the garage) was pretty easy to jury-rig a hose through the outside wall for permanent drain. Ran for three years before it conked out.
The replacement has an actual perma-drain outlet fitted

I bought a cheapo dehumidifier and its ran for the last 20 years the only thing it needs is blow the crap out of radiator twice a year disassemble the motor and oil the bearings and thats it

My shiny new one is too smart for its own good - it turned itself off last week when the temperature hit 2C. I only realised when I went into the garage and the cutter that I'd left in the mill had flash-rusted (always put everything away when you're done!).

I just used to leave the old one on no matter what the temperature, which is probably why it only lasted three years! Still - £30 second hand so all good

I have an older one of those. I run it continuously inside the car I keep meaning to restore. They are very small - about the height of a packet of cornflakes.

600ml a day in ideal conditions means its probably peltier based instead of having a compressor. It'll be quiet but wont remove much moisture under normal use.

Best bet is to spend at least a hundred or so for a proper compressor unit for house use or a dessicant wheel type for a workshop where its usually colder / unheated.

Yes, it's a cheap and cheerful Peltier Effect 12V device via a mains transformer, like the cool boxes.
