This is excellent product that works well. The third video above says ‘You can add a pipe that is included in the box’. The pipe is not included. I have sent this machine to the boat yard and they are now trying to source a pipe. Very annoying.
Bought as we had a damp issue where we were drying washing. The unit seems very efficient and our washing definitely dries quicker. The unit does generate heat as it works, so this should be borne in mind. The 2L collection tank isn’t massive, but more than adequate for our use.
This is the second Meaco dehumidifier I have had and I can’t fault them. The first I bought second hand and it lasted me over 5 years being used constantly before it broke. I bought my second one recently and it’s again brilliant. Works well, isn’t too noisy and doesn’t cost a fortune to run, I’d happily recommend this produc
Bought this dehumidifier for or annexe which is an old pig barn converted to a granny annexe. Is a neat discreet machine with a great range of controls with an added bonus that it warms the room as well. Water reservoir is smallish but easy to remove and empty.
Excellent product cured my condensation problem in a couple of weeks.

It really is an absolute delight to buy something that just does its job so well!
It has made a massive difference to humidity levels in our flat and we couldn’t be happier with it. It runs 24 hours a day in our apartment over the winter. Before we were forced to manage humidity by opening windows, but we can keep the flat both warm and dry. It has completely eliminated all previous issues with mould and condensation. *I would recommend this product to anyone.*
I chose this because it was a which recommended and it as not disappointed very easy to muse and does the job

Very happy with this little unit. Being a desiccant, it works well in less warm environments, so we don’t need to put the heating on! The little device blows out a pleasant little gust of warm air while operating which also helps warm our house.
It has successfully shifted a bunch of black mould which we couldn’t previously do much about and seems pretty efficient to run. Fills it’s little tank after about 6 hours on, but I guess that will vary from one environment to another.
It’s not silent, but equally, I have never found it overly noisy. Again, your perception will vary! I don’t leave it on overnight, but don’t think I would have a problem sleeping with it on the landing. Great product overall.
Excellent dehumidifier, very powerful for it’s size.
Has cured black mould problem and I also use it for drying clothes, works a treat.

Solved our humidity issue in a couple of days. This was for a semi detached 3 bed. Would definitely recommend.
