There are four types of dehumidifier sold to the domestic market in the UK - Compressor, desiccant (this dehumidifier), peltier and silica gel. A desiccant based dehumidifier draws the air in from the room over a filter and passes it over a rotating wheel that is full of a material called Zeolite which absorbs the excess water out of the air.

You can if you like put it in the main problem area to start with and then move it somewhere more convenient when you feel that the problem is under control. If it is just condensation on the windows that you are worried about a dehumidifier in a central position, for example the bottom of the stairs, will cure the problem in the whole house.
