It is value for money, easy to use and manoeuvrable.
Good quality, easy to move between rooms, I bought this to reduce humidity in my home and reduce damp. It’s perfect! It’s recommended by which magazine! and does what it should
I used it on max at first for a few weeks but now I use it on low every day and it seems to be low cost on usage too. I wouldn’t be without it!
A useful device that is easy to move around. An added bonus is the heat given off in a cold room, makes it quite cosy in winter. On full this machine extracts a lot of moisture and is useful for drying clothes or lowering the humidity in a room. Well worth the purchase.
This has been a huge revelation! It was recommended to us by our son and how right he was! Not only it soaks up litres and litres of condensation but it also provides some heat in the process. I have it on 3/4 hours a day and it uses about 80p. For that price I get a dry and warm study (I work from home). I’ve become a convert and I will buy another one for the bedroom as it is heavy-ish so not the easiest appliance to take up or down 3 floors! Very highly recommended.
It’s a sturdy little machine and easy to use. I thought it might dry my washing a bit quicker than it does, but it at least takes the worst of the moisture out of the material. The downside is the lead from the dehumidifier makes it a bit difficult to get the water tray out because it gets in the way, and you get drips on the floor – nothing major and literally just a few drips, it’s just a bit annoying
Have found this Meaco DD8l Portable Dehumidifier very easy to use and to empty. I use it to help dry washing and it is very efficient, the booklet explains all the functions.
We bought this mainly to aid drying clothes when the weather is wet and the heating is not on. It works very well at doing this, and has made drying clothes much easier.Uses far less electricity than a tumble dryer. The machine is compact, not obtrusive and quiet. It is easy to move and to empty.
