Portable Dehumidifier DD8L - Compact Desiccant Dehumidifier - Best For Small Homes & Spaces - Prevent Condensation, Mould & Damp - 18 x 35 x 50 cm White

I don’t remember the last item I bought that worked so well and made the difference that I hoped it would, I’ve become a desiccant dehumidifier super fan! Boom! It’s a great piece of kit and has solved the window condensation issues in our 3 storey town house this winter. Thank you! After letting it run on constant for a week and marvelling at the results I now use the magic button that allows it maintain the general humidity and monitor the air. I have also on occasion popped it in the closed bathroom to dry whole loads of washing on an airer. Having had the other type of dehumidifier I can’t believe how much better this works when it’s cold. It pumps out enough heat to make a difference to the overall temperature in winter, to the point that I’ve been using the central heating considerably less. If you’re tentatively thinking about getting one I would urge you to go for it. Heating a dryer home feels much more efficient too.

Nice dehumidifier, simple but so far effective.

Very happy with this product, used over winter. Surprised how much water it actually drew out of the air. Easy to empty water container: switches off when full, with flashing light alarm: no need for an audible alarm as you know its full when it stops working. Give off a level of heat, too, as it successfully dries the air. Worth the cost of purchase; seek round for deals. very happy with purchase, did the job as promised, and contributed to room warmth: a damp room makes it feel cooler than it really is.

Having never owned a dehumidifier I wasn't really sure what to expect with this. If you believe the marketing videos on Youtube you'd think this was an extremely quiet, dirt cheap to run bit of kit that was going to dry out your whole house. The reality is a little different, not a whole lot but a little. I started of having this in the hall and running it on medium power it was on for 8 days straight before it began to cycle on and off - target humidity of 50% was reached. We have a bog standard 90's built 3 bed semi by the way. Using a weather station I could monitor the humidity in different rooms and found the average downstairs to be about 53%, upstairs was around 55%. The hallway was 50%. I'd hate to think what the figures were before we had this running 8 days non stop. After a couple of weeks it became pretty clear that there was an issue because rather than cycling on and off it seemed to still be running the majority of the day without the humidity in the rest of the house dropping, I came to the conclusion that having this so close to the front door wasn't a great idea and we were probably drying half the street. It was moved to the landing upstairs. On the landing it operates much more how I would expect, running for a few hours each day in order to keep the humidity in all the bedrooms/bathroom to about 50-51%. Downstairs the figure hovers around 54-55% so not bad but the Meaco isn't reducing humidity in the whole house down to its set level. This isn't a big house and I'm careful to leave the doors open during the day for airflow. The other thing is that if you try running it in the lowest fan setting eco mode then it's a waste of time. At that setting ours will run 20+ hours a day. On the standard setting the unit is too noisy to have in the same room as you, at night when trying to sleep it is a noticeable hum but you will get used to it. The final thing is the cost. I don't know how this compares to other dehumidifiers but where we live we pay about 15.7 pence per unit for electricity. Now this has bedded down and is running as expected it has added about an extra 50p a day on to our electricity bill, or about £45 a quarter (according to our Owl energy monitor). I haven't had the bill yet from when we first bought it but including the initial running in period and then the few weeks where we were drying the street I'm expecting it be a bit of a record breaker. Overall then despite a bit of whinging about it not being what I would call cheap, nor the fact that it is capable of reducing the humidity in our whole house down to its target level I still think this has been a very good buy. The humidity level in the house is much reduced, we no longer get any condensation on any windows and generally the house has felt much warmer.

Originally bought an ordinary dehumidifier only to realise they do not work in low temperatures. So I bought this type a desiccant dehumidifier which does work at low temperatures. The unit itself is small enough to fit in a small room without getting in the way. I was really impressed when after running for less than two hours, on a medium setting in a small 10 x10 foot cold bedroom, there was about a pint of water in the collector. The heat it gives out did also warm the room a little. The noise on medium was not too bad I could have slept with it on. The next day for the first time the windows and ceiling had no condensation on them and the room felt drier. I haven’t had it long enough to assess if the energy cost is what it purports to be but assume it won’t be far out.

This is really good, I use it with an mini automatic simp pump (I bought on Amazon for £44.99 or so) and an hose and put to the sink. The dehumidifier is really good, the only noise is the fan but I use it with and 500w mini heater in my hallway and they kind of work together, when the moisture levels are higher at night the dehumidifier warms it up and during the day the heater turns on when there's less as the dehumidifier doesn't need to work as much then. In regards to cost to run it doesn't run constantly so yes it has an higher power unit built in but it isn't on 24 hours a day. I'm using it on normal and 50% humidity options and it is working brilliantly. I have autism and I don't hear it on the Hallway. I have my living room door closed and I can still feel the benefits from it being in the hallway as the air changes as you open and close and the air circulates. You don't need all doors open just enjoy using it. I used a condenser 20l one before and the air feels much more weirdly softer. Like less dense.. I genuinely am really happy and I am intending to buy another for the opposite side of the property to make it a complete balance. It's definitely worth buying.xx

Déshumidifie très bien une pièce. Il est parfait!
