It is 600ml and can extract up to 300ml of water a day.
Online, Asda said it is “perfect” for smaller rooms as it can be placed on window ledges and countertops.
The motor is quiet and comes with an auto cut-off function which means it’ll stop operating once the tank is full.
Shoppers have been impressed with the product.
One reviewer said: “I really recommend it.
“I’ve had mine a month or so and it works perfect.”
While another wrote: “It is certainly helping with the problem capturing about 4 tablespoons of water a day.
“It is fairly quite to run and is small and quite smart to look at.

“The only thing I would say is that it is quite difficult to open to get rid of the water.”
And another happy customer said: “I am very pleased with this dehumidifier.”
It is currently in stock on the Asda website, though it’s always worth checking in your local store too.
Shoppers have also said that you can pick up the dehumidifier from Lidl, though stock and price can may vary from store to store.
Do shop around for the best product as there could be something better out there.
Of course, this particular item is quite pricey, but don’t worry as there are cheaper alternatives.
Shoppers were recently loving a £2.99 spray that was “brilliant” at tackling mould.
While Home Bargains shoppers were raving about a £1.25 spray.
Hundreds of thousands of homes across England have condensation and mould problems.
Mould and mildew occur when there is a large level of moisture in the air in the home.
The issue is usually worse in humid rooms, like your bathroom, which can steam up after a hot shower.
The problem can cause unappealing patches to appear on your walls, and could even affect your health.
How can I avoid mould in my home?
We tested out some top hacks for tackling mould to see how effective they are.
Dehumidifiers are a good idea to keep by windows to prevent condensation from collecting – shoppers have even spotted one that costs £50 from Argos.
And they don’t cost much to run either – according to experts at Uswitch, dehumidifiers normally use 185W – so they usually cost about 6p an hour to run.
There’s also the trick of placing salt in a bowl and hoping it catches mould – our reporter Harriet Cooke said it worked quite well.
And, costing £1.70 for 500g from Tesco, salt isn’t too expensive to buy either.
