Top pick: Trotec TTK 53 E Best value: Trotec TTK 53 E – Best value on a different ASIN, the Trotec TTK 53 E at about £263.28. Updated 20 October 2026.

A Trotec dehumidifier is a portable condensation machine for a heated UK room, not a desiccant and not a mini. You tell them apart by stated room size, maximum litres per day, tank size, and whether the article number is the UK plug. The 30 E is listed for 15 m² and 12 litres/day; the 53 E for 31 m² and 16 litres/day; the 26 E costs more than the 30 E on amazon while stating less extraction. It does not repair a leak, and the saved review texts are not from the United Kingdom. Renters with wet windows in a heated room under about 15 m² start with the 30 E and still have to report a leak. Households drying washing indoors need a shut door, an airer, and a tank or hose. The checks before you buy are in the [Which Trotec dehumidifier model to buy](/hub/cooling/trotec-dehumidifier/sub/trotec-dehumidifier-buying-guide).

The best Trotec dehumidifiers in detail
Our view
The Trotec TTK 53 E is the 31 m² listing in this set, at £263.28, with 16 litres a day claimed, a 5.5 litre tank, 196 W on the amazon table, one speed, and 195 m³/h. It is the row to read when the room is well beyond 15 m², though the stated mode is continuous and the table does not list a hygrostat, a timer, or a drain hose. The title says TROTEC TTK 53 E, while the manufacturer field says No brand, included components say Tool Sets, pack, and country of origin says USA, so those lines are not a second specification. Weight is 15.2 kg on amazon and 12 kg in the English manual, and that manual prints 0.24 kW, which is not the same figure as 196 W. On 20 October 2026 the amazon page said the unit is usually dispatched within 6 to 7 months, with a delivery window of 12–22 April 2027. It shows 4.5 from 304 ratings, the highest star line of the three, but the saved texts are not a UK sample, and this file has no UK-plug article number for the model.
Pros
- 16 litres/day and 31 m², the largest claims in this set
- 5.5 litre tank, larger than the 2.2 litre TTK 30 E tank
- 195 m³/h airflow and a 32°C upper rating on the table
- 4.5 from 304 ratings, the highest star line of the three
Cons
- £263.28, and on 20 October 2026 dispatch was quoted as 6 to 7 months
- Catalogue fields contradict the title: No brand, Tool Sets, and USA
- Hygrostat, drainage, and auto shut-off are blank on the amazon table
- 15.2 kg on the listing versus 12 kg in the manual, and the plug is not stated
Best for: A heated room nearer 31 m² when you can wait for the dispatch window printed on 20 October 2026.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a dehumidifier this month, a confirmed BS 1363 plug, or only a room around 15 m².

Common questions
What room size and extraction does the TTK 53 E listing state?
The table says 31 m² and 16 litres a day, with a 5.5 litre tank, 196 W, one speed, and 195 m³/h. The stated mode is continuous.
Why do some catalogue fields disagree with the title?
The title says TROTEC TTK 53 E. The manufacturer field says No brand, included components say Tool Sets, pack, and country of origin says USA. Those lines are kept as printed and are not a second specification.
Does the table list a humidistat, timer, or drain hose?
No. Humidistat, timer, noise, dimensions, and continuous drainage are k. A. in the specification table. Weight is listed as 15.2 kg.
Our view
The Trotec TTK 30 E is listed on amazon.co.uk at £186.77 for a heated room of about 15 m², with a claimed 12 litres a day into a 2.2 litre tank, at 0.27 kW and 120 m³/h. It is the only listing of the three that states a hygrostat, from 30% to 80% relative humidity in 5% steps, plus a condensate connection and overflow shut-off. The English manual presets automatic mode at 55% and includes a 0.3 m, 17 mm hose that the amazon included line does not name. The 12 litre headline is a warm-room maximum: the manual ties it to 32°C and 80% relative humidity, and the 2024 brochure’s 30°C / 80% figure is 10 litres. Article 1120000034 matches Trotec’s EU-plug column, not the UK article 1.120.010.034, so a BS 1363 plug is not established by this page. The listing shows 4.3 from 643 ratings, but the saved review texts are not a United Kingdom sample, and noise and a timer are blank.
Pros
- £186.77 with 12 litres/day claimed for 15 m², below the TTK 26 E price
- Hygrostat from 30% to 80% in 5% steps on the listing
- Condensate connection and overflow shut-off stated
- 2.2 litre tank, 0.27 kW, 120 m³/h, and 8.5 kg on the table
Cons
- Article 1120000034 matches the EU-plug number, not UK article 1.120.010.034
- 12 litres is a 32°C / 80% RH maximum, not a cool-room result
- The amazon included line does not name the manual’s 0.3 m hose
- Noise and timer are blank, and the saved reviews are not a UK sample
Best for: A heated room around 15 m² where you want a stated hygrostat and the lower amazon.co.uk price of the two small listings.
Less suitable: A room at or below 5°C, a room nearer 31 m², or a checkout where you need a confirmed BS 1363 plug.

Common questions
What room size and extraction does the TTK 30 E listing state?
The amazon.co.uk table says 15 m² and 12 litres a day, into a 2.2 litre tank, at 0.27 kW and 120 m³/h.
Does the listing include a humidistat and a drain connection?
Yes. It states a hygrostat from 30% to 80% relative humidity in 5% steps, plus a connection for external condensate discharge and overflow shut-off. A hose is not named under included components.
Does the listing state noise or a timer?
No. The specification table has no decibel figure and no timer. The saved review texts are not from the United Kingdom, so they are not used here as British opinion.
Our view
The Trotec TTK 26 E is listed at £211.63 for the same 15 m² class as the TTK 30 E, with a lower claimed extraction of 10 litres a day. The amazon table prints a 2.8 litre tank, while the English manual and the 2024 brochure both say 1.8 litres, so you should not plan emptying around the larger figure. The table does state two speeds, automatic mode, a 32°C upper rating, 9.5 kg, and automatic shut-off, for rooms up to 15 m² or 37 m³. Power, airflow, and a hygrostat are not in the table, and the bullets describe a generic professional product rather than litres or a setpoint. Article 1120000026 matches the EU-plug column; a Turkish Trotec page calls 1.120.000.026 a CEE 7/7 plug, and the UK article is 1.120.010.026. It shows 4.3 from 315 ratings, the same star line as the cheaper TTK 30 E, and the saved texts are not British reviews. Below 5°C the manual says the unit may not start.
Pros
- Automatic shut-off and two speeds are on the specification table
- 10 litres/day claimed for 15 m² or 37 m³
- 9.5 kg on the listing, lighter than the TTK 53 E row
- Upper temperature of 32°C is printed
Cons
- £211.63 is more than the TTK 30 E for less stated extraction
- Tank is 2.8 litres on amazon and 1.8 litres in the manual
- Hygrostat, power, airflow, and drainage are blank on the table
- Article 1120000026 is the EU-plug number, not 1.120.010.026
Best for: A buyer who has already checked the plug photos for article 1120000026 and still wants this 10 litre listing.
Less suitable: A heated 15 m² room where the TTK 30 E is the lower amazon price, or any room at or below 5°C.

Common questions
What does the TTK 26 E specification table actually state?
10 litres a day, rooms up to 15 m² or 37 m³, a 2.8 litre tank, two speeds, automatic mode, a 32°C upper rating, 9.5 kg, and automatic shut-off. Power, airflow, and a humidistat are not in the table.
Are the bullet points a specification?
No. They describe a generic professional product and the article 1120000026. They do not state litres, tank size, or a humidity setpoint.
Does the listing say it is easy to move or that it has a timer?
The page asks both questions and does not answer them in the table. Weight is 9.5 kg. No castors and no timer are listed.
How we compared
Shelf date: 20 October 2026. Source: the three amazon.co.uk listings in this comparison (TTK 30 E B01H6W6PMG, TTK 26 E B07BQTMKXG, TTK 53 E B01HMP1BPS), the prices and star lines in those files, and the public Trotec manuals and 2024 brochure where a listing cell conflicts. Not a laboratory test. A star rating is not a litre collected in a UK room and not a BS 1363 plug. The saved review texts for these ASINs are not from the United Kingdom, so the review block does not reward written sentiment. Weights sum to 100.

Listing fit
30%A stated hygrostat, drain connection, shut-off, power, and airflow score high. Blank cells, a tank that disagrees with the manual, and catalogue lines that contradict the title score low. Noise is blank on all three tables, so it is not a differentiator.

Review notes

Value
20%Lower amazon.co.uk price against stated litres for the room the title claims. The £186.77 / 12 litre row scores highest. The £211.63 / 10 litre row scores lowest because it costs more than the other 15 m² listing for less stated extraction. The £263.28 / 16 litre row sits in between: more litres and a 5.5 litre tank, with the 20 October 2026 dispatch window counted against it.

Trotec dehumidifier buying guide
Room and temperature. Heated room up to about 15 m²: TTK 30 E rather than TTK 26 E. Towards 31 m²: TTK 53 E. Manuals start at 5°C. Below that, the TTK 26 E manual says the unit may not start.
What is a Trotec dehumidifier?
All three chill a coil and collect condensate. They suit a warm room and weaken when it is cold. R290 charge on the manuals: 40 g (TTK 26 E), 35 g (TTK 30 E), 55 g (TTK 53 E). Do not pierce the circuit. IP from the manuals: IPX1 (TTK 26 E), IP20 (TTK 30 E), IPX2 (TTK 53 E). None of those ratings is a shower rating. The TTK 30 E manual lists bathrooms as a room type and then bans the area beside a bath, shower, or pool. Room and temperature.
Best for
- A heated room around 15 m² where you want a stated hygrostat and the lower amazon.co.uk price of the two small listings.
- A heated room nearer 31 m² when you can wait for the dispatch window printed on 20 October 2026.
Not ideal for
- A room at or below 5°C, a room nearer 31 m², or a checkout where you need a confirmed BS 1363 plug.
- Anyone who needs a dehumidifier this month, a confirmed BS 1363 plug, or only a room around 15 m².

What to weigh up
Room and temperature
HighRoom and temperature. Heated room up to about 15 m²: TTK 30 E rather than TTK 26 E. Towards 31 m²: TTK 53 E. Manuals start at 5°C. Below that, the TTK 26 E manual says the unit may not start. This set has no desiccant.
Extraction versus tank
MediumExtraction versus tank. Litres/day are maxima. The 2024 brochure also gives 30°C / 80% RH figures: TTK 26 E 8.56 litres (max 10), TTK 30 E 10 litres (max 12). The TTK 30 E manual ties 12 litres to 32°C / 80% RH. Tanks: listing 2.2 litres (TTK 30 E), 2.8 litres (TTK 26 E), 5.5 litres (TTK 53 E). The TTK 26 E manual and brochure say 1.8 litres, not 2.8.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Households drying washing indoors need
Households drying washing indoors need a shut door, an airer, and a tank or hose. A heated room nearer 31 m² when you can wait for the dispatch window printed on 20 October 2026.
A cold garage, or a reader who treats the star line as British reviews
A cold garage, or a reader who treats the star line as British reviews, is the mismatch. A buyer who has already checked the plug photos for article 1120000026 and still wants this 10 litre listing.
Common questions about Trotec dehumidifiers
Which Trotec dehumidifier is the top pick?
The top pick is the Trotec TTK 30 E at about £186.77, score 82. The Trotec TTK 30 E is listed on amazon.co.uk at £186.77 for a heated room of about 15 m², with a claimed 12 litres a day into a 2.2 litre tank, at 0.27 kW and 120 m³/h. It is the only listing of the three that states a hygrostat, from 30% to 80% relative humidity in 5% steps, plus a condensate connection and overflow shut-off.
Which Trotec dehumidifier is the best value?
Best value is the Trotec TTK 53 E at about £263.28, score 64. It is a different listing from the top pick. The Trotec TTK 53 E is the 31 m² listing in this set, at £263.28, with 16 litres a day claimed, a 5.5 litre tank, 196 W on the amazon table, one speed, and 195 m³/h.
What room size and extraction does the TTK 30 E listing state?
The amazon.co.uk table says 15 m² and 12 litres a day, into a 2.2 litre tank, at 0.27 kW and 120 m³/h. The Trotec TTK 30 E is listed on amazon.co.uk at £186.77 for a heated room of about 15 m², with a claimed 12 litres a day into a 2.2 litre tank, at 0.27 kW and 120 m³/h.
Does the listing include a humidistat and a drain connection?
Yes. It states a hygrostat from 30% to 80% relative humidity in 5% steps, plus a connection for external condensate discharge and overflow shut-off. A hose is not named under included components. The Trotec TTK 30 E is listed on amazon.co.uk at £186.77 for a heated room of about 15 m², with a claimed 12 litres a day into a 2.2 litre tank, at 0.27 kW and 120 m³/h.
Does the listing state noise or a timer?
No. The specification table has no decibel figure and no timer. The saved review texts are not from the United Kingdom, so they are not used here as British opinion.

What should you not assume from the title?
Mistakes: reading the litre headline as a cool-room result; believing the 2.8 litre tank; assuming article 1120000034 has a UK plug; quoting non-UK reviews as British opinion; running with the window open. Call a professional for a tide mark, widespread mould, a damaged plug, or any opening of the case.
When should you stop and get help?
Call a professional for a tide mark, widespread mould, a damaged plug, or any opening of the case. BS 1363 is the UK plug. The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 are the frame. Manuals: transport upright with an empty tank; do not drink the water; do not use a damaged lead; keep the case out of dripping water; refrigerant and opened-case work are for a competent person. A different comparison is Dehumidifier.
Our verdict
The top pick is the Trotec TTK 30 E at about £186.77. It scores 82, the highest in this set, rated 4.3 from 643 reviews. Best value is the Trotec TTK 53 E at about £263.28, a different ASIN, with score 64. Skip the top pick if the limit in its listing is the job you actually have.
