Good Morning
If you have a lot of condensation then a dehumidifer could help to reduce this, condensation can cause damp which in turn can lead to mould growth which can be problematic.
If it is feasible try to open a window a little? (with it being so cold at the moment this could be a problem) and if possible wipe away the areas of condensation build up.
A dehumidifier must be cleaned regularly to avoid a build up of mould growth and, it's important to make sure it doesn't dry out the air too much as this can cause dry skin and also make you cough.
As a charity we can't recommend promote or endorse and particular products.
I hope this helps.

Thank You for the reply, can be hard some times to know whats best...
We have had them for years & wouldn't be without. Not only do they clear the condensation but we use ours to dry washing overnight - much cheaper than running a drier. Also the water it collects we re-cycle by using it in my steam iron.
Bear in mind the advice from Jo though.
We bought a cheapie from Comet a couple of years ago, have in in the hall of a small 2 bed flat, and it solved all our condensation problems, and the air seems better, best 80 quid we spent , so Id be a 100% yes go for it.
