Our verdict on each
Devola
Devola suits UK households that want drying and air cleaning from a single brand without paying flagship prices, and its spread of purifiers, dehumidifiers and fans makes it easy to start small. Entry sits at £53.96, with a 2 year warranty behind the units.
Duux
Duux suits UK households drying a damp bedroom or a small sitting room: the Bora Smart moves 20 litres a day a day and the range starts at £39.99. Room coverage of 40 m² is the ceiling, so buyers drying larger spaces should weigh a brand with a wider range.

Pros and cons
Devola
Pros
- Entry price of £53.96 sits under the €127.49 that most brands in this comparison start at, so the range is an approachable first air treatment purchase.
- Purifiers, dehumidifiers and fans sit in the same range (purifier, dehumidifier and fan), where Clarifion lists purifiers only (purifier).
- Support runs through email, phone and chat, so help is available by phone and live chat as well as by email.
Cons
- Clean air delivery of 180 m³/h is modest, so a large open-plan room needs more than a single unit.
- Power draw of 378 W on the compressor models is high, so a room left running day and night adds to the electricity bill.
- A 4-litre water tank means repeated emptying in a house that stays damp.
Duux
Pros
- The Bora Smart removes 20 litres a day a day, which suits a damp bedroom or a small sitting room.
- The starting price of £39.99 sits below the dehumidifier entry median of €108.42 across the brands compared here.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a fault can go straight to a phone line rather than an inbox.
Cons
- Its 40 m² room rating sits well below the dehumidifier median of 194.09 m², and Duux places 45 of 54 on that measure.
- The only filter listed is carbon, so treat the Bora line as a moisture job rather than a particle one.
- Shipping information lists GB and no other market, so buyers outside the UK are out of luck.
Who each suits
Devola
Who it suits
- UK households dealing with damp and mould risk who want drying and filtration from a single brand at a low starting price.
- Renters and owner occupiers who need a quiet background machine, given a noise floor of 36 dB.
- Shoppers who want app control and phone support without stepping up to a premium purifier.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone chasing strong airflow for a large room should weigh Vornado Air instead, since clean air delivery of 180 m³/h is modest.
- Buyers outside GB should look for a locally supported brand, as Devola's support and returns run through a UK operation.
- Shoppers who want humidification in the same range should pick Vornado Air, which lists humidifiers alongside purifiers and fans (purifier, humidifier and fan).
Duux
Who it suits
- Households in the UK with damp in a bedroom, a box room or a home office, where a modest machine is enough.
- Renters who want a single appliance with app control rather than a full air-care range to choose from.
- Buyers who want a phone route on a warranty claim, since support runs on email, phone and help centre.
Who should look elsewhere
- Large open-plan homes, where 40 m² coverage is small beside the category median of 194.09 m².
- Shoppers wanting purification and moisture from one brand: Exquisit lists purifier, dehumidifier and humidifier, against Duux's dehumidifier, humidifier and fan.
- Anyone buying outside the UK, since shipping information lists GB only.

Questions about each
Devola
How much does a Devola machine cost?+
Devola publishes a single entry price of £53.96 for the range, and that is the figure to hold against the €127.49 that brands in this category typically start at. Because the range covers purifier, dehumidifier and fan, the same brand can cover a first purchase and a later replacement. Pricing is per unit rather than tiered, so there is a clear step between the cheapest machine and the compressor models.
What does it cost to keep running?+
The running cost sits in two places: the filters, listed as hepa h13 and carbon, and electricity. The compressor dehumidifiers draw 378 W, so a unit left on in a persistently damp room is the main ongoing expense to plan for. A 2 year warranty covers the machine itself, which takes some of the risk out of the early months.
Duux
How much does the cheapest Duux cost?+
Duux lists a starting price of £39.99 in GBP. Dehumidifier entry prices across the brands in this comparison sit around €108.42, so Duux opens below the middle of the field. Anything higher up the Bora range sits in different territory, so the ticket you see at the top of the range is not the ticket this ranking reflects.
Where does Duux ship?+
Shipping information lists GB, which makes Duux a UK order rather than a pan-European one. Support for a UK unit runs on email, phone and help centre, and that matters if you are outside the market, since the same routes are the ones a warranty claim would use.
