Product Information

Also, as a by-product of their energy usage, desiccant dehumidifiers can warm the air in a room. Therefore, desiccant dehumidifiers are also a great choice for cool or unheated conservatories .

If the environment isn’t overly damp, and isn’t used for showering or drying washing, you can use a dehumidifier with a capacity of 14.5 L or less. This applies even in a large rooms of 100 m². In a medium room, of around 45 m², you can get away with using a much smaller dehumidifier, around 5.5 L. Severe DampThe water tank can be removed from the front of the machine. If you forget to replace the tank, an alarm sounds for approximately 10 seconds. While it’s great that the tank can be removed without moving the unit, it can be difficult to empty without spilling. Portability With a capacity of 12 litres, the DC12 is ideal for flats and small homes (up to three bedrooms). If you have a larger home or a building that suffers with severe damp, the more powerful DC18 might be a better option. Quietness Continuous drainage function– if you don’t want to worry about emptying the dehumidifier, the drainage function could be useful. A pipe is included with the model although this is only one metre long. In terms of performance, this dehumidifier can make a visible difference inside the home – reducing condensation on the windows and improving the overall indoor temperature. Although this dehumidifier is described as portable, it might be larger than you would expect, measuring 22.5 x 49.5 x 35 cm. It does, however have easy-glide caster wheels to help move it across hard floors.

In terms of performance, this dehumidifier reduces the humidity sufficiently that there is a noticeable increase in the indoor temperature, as well as visibly less condensation on windows. When used on turbo, it can be a useful machine to speed up the process of drying clothes inside; however, this mode can be quite noisy. A standard two year warranty gives extra peace of mind, but at the heart is an extraction capability of 18L per day.It’s rare for a machine to actually remove anywhere near its maximum potential, as it will depend on the temperature and humidity of the room. The manufacturer’s litres-per-day capacity will have been calculated and tested in lab conditions, in an ideal setting for moisture extraction. Manage controlled sessions too with the convenient 2 and 4 hour timer function. Extracting moisture in the home reduces humidity levels, protects properties, possessions and improves well being. Capable of extracting up to max 18 Litres of water per day and collectable via a large internal tank (or by continuous drainage, where a hose is also included).

Not only can this dehumidifier help reduce dampness in conservatories and bathrooms, it can also speed up the process of drying washing inside by removing excess moisture from the air. There’s no specific laundry setting, but there is an optional 2h/4h timer to make it easier to use. Dehumidifiers with an LCD display can be easier to use and understand than those without. They can display information like the current humidity level, as well as allow you to see what you’re setting the humidistat to. Concealed “Easy Glide” castors make moving between rooms a simple process. A sleek design which will sit discreetly in any room. Manage humidity levels via a “Touch Button” control pad with LED display allowing total control of your appliance. Set the required level via the “Humidity Display” and benefit from other Self Diagnosis indicators such as “Clean Me” filter indicators.

This style of dehumidifier works better in warm environments because it requires the internal temperature of the dehumidifier to be lower than the surrounding air. If temperatures are below 15°C, a desiccant dehumidifier will be a better choice. Compressor humidifiers don’t raise the temperature as much as desiccant dehumidifiers, so in hot environments where you don’t want more heat, a compressor dehumidifier will be more desirable. As the name implies, this dehumidifier from EcoAir can extract up to 18 litres per day. However, it is worth noting that the extraction rate will depend on the humidity and temperature level within your home. To collect the stated maximum amount of water, you would have to replicate the test climate that the EcoAir DC18 was manufactured to operate in, which is usually only found in hot bathrooms after showering. The EcoAir DC18 underwent tests in conditions of 30ᵒ C and 80% RH to achieve the 18L extraction rate. EcoAir promised control, and that is exactly what they deliver with this model. The DC18 boasts of an electronic control panel with cleverly designed touch button technology and an intelligent display. It’s also been recognised as a Which? best buy, which is reassuring in terms of its quality and performance.

The Meaco has four main operating modes: Humidistat lets you choose your target humidity between 30 and 80%rh (relative humidity); Laundry makes use of the 280m³/hour fan speed to dry clothes; Quiet turns off the beeper and lowers the fan speed; and Auto mode regulates the compressor and fan speed to retain an ideal balance of 50% humidity. It even has a built-in ionizer to help clean the air. The most important buttons are for adjusting target humidity. These can increase or decrease humidity in 5% increments, giving you precise control over the interior conditions of your home. This value for humidity is always displayed clearly so you know what the machine is aiming towards. The humidity can range between 35% to 80%.

Some of the parts can be taken apart for thorough cleaning such as the water tank and the filter. The 3.5-litre tank easily slides out of its slot by gently grabbing and lifting it out.

The EcoAir DC18 Compact Portable Dehumidifier also has a drainage function to save you endless trips to and from the sink. What Accessories Are Included?

Compressor Dehumidifiers The DC12 and DC18 are very similar models. In fact, the only real difference is in the capacity. As the names suggest, the DC12 has a maximum capacity of 12 litres per day, while the DC18 can handle 18 litres per day. Both models have the same size water tanks and include identical control panels.
