The dehumidifier provided by the embodiment of the disclosure has no water tank, the volume of the water receiving tank 11 is limited, and excessive condensed water cannot be stored. The water receiving tank 11 is provided with a water level line, which can provide an indication of the current water level in the water receiving tank 11 for a user. Optionally, the water level line may be one or more than one, and is used for indicating different water amounts in the water receiving tank. When the water level line is one, the water level line at this time may be an upper limit of the condensed water stored in the water receiving tank 11. When the water level line is two, the water level line at this time may include an upper limit and a safety line. Optionally, the upper limit here may be four fifths of the volume of the water receiving tank 11, and the safety line here may be one fifth of the volume of the water receiving tank 11.

In some optional embodiments, the dehumidifier further comprises a detection device for detecting the water level in the water receiving tank. Optionally, the method for detecting the water level in the water receiving tank by the detection device may be: by sensing the water line as described above.
