Meaco MeacoDry ABC Dehumidifier (White) - Ultra Quiet, Energy Efficient Electric Compressor Dehumidifier for Home - Removes Condensation & Damp, Prevents Mould

I have a small dehumidifier for my kitchen which has been good, but I wanted a larger one that would do the job in the conservatory in which we placed a panel heater to help dry out washing during the winter, but as this was going to create a lot of condensation it was important to keep this at bay. We also wanted something that wasn't going to cost a fortune to run and after reading the reviews for this Meaco, I thought I'd give this a whirl and I'm very glad we did. There is an easy to use interface which enables you to set the required humidity level (we set ours to the recommended setting of 55) and you can set it to run on either high or low (depending on how much the area needs dehumidifying). You basically just switch it on and leave it running and it will switch on and off automatically when the humidity rises over the set level until it brings it down again. This it does without having to fiddle with it, therefore it pretty much runs itself. There is an additional function - "laundry" - which you can switch on - designed for once you've hung up your washing and it drags the moisture out of the air faster. This function runs for 6 hours and then switches off. The only downside with this is that (from what I have experienced, so far at least), once the 6 hours has passed on laundry mode the machine doesn't automatically restart and you have remember to go back and switch it on again, which is a bit of a pain (I expect there may be a way to set it so this doesn't happen, but I haven't worked it out yet). You also have to check on it every so often to make sure the water collection isn't full as the machine will switch off then too. Apart from that, you can leave it on to do its thing. The amount of water this machine has pulled out is astronomical!! I can honestly say we have not had ONE drop of condensation since using it. We also have a smart meter and can see that it doesn't use a lot, despite being on 24/7. I am SO impressed and extremely glad I bought it. I told my parents about it and they have now bought exactly the same one, for the same reasons and they are also equally impressed and over the moon with the difference it has made. I would recommend this dehumidifier to anyone.

Acquistato per cercare sollievo nelle notti afose. Ho scelto questo modello/marca dopo varie ricerche. Definito il più silenzioso che ci sia: non posso dire che sia rumoroso, benché alla velocità minima, di notte, in camera da letto per poter dormire io devo mettere i tappi, sono però molto sensibile al rumore e senza completo silenzio non dormo. Senza rotelle: chissà perché non le hanno previste, bastava veramente poco per renderlo più pratico. Pesa circa 12kg, non molti magari, ma non è agevole spostarlo. Io lo lascio fisso in camera da letto, ma lo devo comunque spostare un minimo per lavare i pavimenti. Per agevolare lo spostamento e per proteggere il parquet ho messo i feltrini sotto. Utilizzato per la prima volta con caldo tropicale , scorsa notte, 29,5 gradi in casa: con anche le pale a soffitto accese in camera da letto, ho dormito bene, senza sudare. Sopporto comunque bene il caldo. la stanza non era fresca, ben inteso, il deumidificatore non rinfresca, ma grazie alla riduzione dell'umidità ha reso la temperatura seppur alta più sopportabile. Non mi aspettavo nulla di più se non appunto rendere le notti afose più secche. Nulla a che vedere ovviamente con un climatizzatore. Altra caratteristica che mi ha spinto ad acquistarlo è il fatto che il display si può spegnere pur lasciando il deumidificatore funzionante, così da evitare fastidiose luci in camera da letto di notte. Ultimo punto a favore è il fatto che la vaschetta raccogli acqua ha un coperchio, così che quando la si toglie per svuotarla non c'è il rischio di versarla per sbaglio sul pavimento. Tenete presente che arriva con spina inglese. Serve quindi un adattatore oppure dovete cambiare la spina.

I bought this for two reasons. I wanted it to help me dry laundry in winter, as I don’t have room for a tumble dryer. I had also noticed some mould around a bedroom window and wanted to dry out this other room. The brand was recommended when researching online and this was recommended by Which. My reading in the mould bedroom was initially 90. After leaving it on through the working day it reduced to 56 and the tank was pretty full. I shall keep using it in there. I hung a full load of washing in a small bedroom; hoodies, trousers, sports socks etc. after six hours in laundry mode it was mostly dry. I left it on in normal mode for a couple more hours and it was thoroughly dry. This will really improve my life in winter. I don’t find it too heavy to move, but I need to carry it with both arms. Each time I’ve emptied the tank, I have moved it very carefully but there has been a very small pool of water on the floor. This might be something to do with how I’m removing it (I have wooden floors so I can see it.) When drying laundry in the small room the room felt slightly warmer than the other rooms in the house (with the heating off). There was no noticeable difference in temperature when using it in a large bedroom to dry out the room. Something to bear in mind is that mine was delivered by DPD a day earlier than stated. This suited me, but you may need to make arrangements for this if you are ordering for the one day when you will be at home. Edited to add: I have worked out why there was a small pool of water on the floor after removing the tank. As this had also been mentioned by other reviewers, I thought I would add it here. There is a small hole at the top of the door to open the tank, which I had assumed was a finger hole for removal. This meant I was tilting the door slightly after hooking it with my finger. I have discovered that the actual way to open the door is by placing fingers in the two vertical ridges to the right and left of the door. This ensures you can pull it out without tilting. No pools of water when I use this method 😊.
