Fantastic
I have a conservatory which can get some humidity and/or condensation depending on the time of the year. Well, not anymore! If the weather is relatively humid or for whichever reason there’s a lot of moisture in there, I turn the dehumidifier on for approx. 2 hours every week and it has been keeping humidity levels at bay. A fantastic product, compact, manoeuvrable and very simple to use. My only gripe and suggestion for improvement is if the unit could also remember how long to run for. This is the only setting which doesn’t seem to remain recorded in the unit, meaning every time I turn it on I also have to remember to set it the countdown for 2 hours.

Does what it's designed to do!
I spent some time researching dehumidifier’s as I wanted one for my garage to remove any moisture to prevent rust appearing on my Westfield Sports Car, I have to say I am extremely pleased with this dehumidifier, within the first 1 hr it had already drawn approx 1 ltr of moisture which was surprising as the garage is already very well insulated with no water leaks under the main door, so for this amount of moisture to be removed is great. Noise level isnt a worry as it’s in a garage, it may seem a little noisy if in house though. At the time of writing this the outside temp has been down to -6 but it has carried on functioning with no issues (I know the temp in garage will be a lot higher than this) and it produces a little heat also. All in all the garage feels warm and dry and the dehumidifier is doing its job well.

Why did I not purchase sooner!
After 8 years of a mouldy conservatory, I decided to research how to reduce this, after further research I decided to buy this unit.
I pop it on every night before heading to bed and by morning the unit is full of water. I also bought a damp meter and it goes from around 85% at night to 55% in the morning, the conservatory is now mould free and smells really fresh too, no smell of damp. it has been worth every penny so far and Ive only had it a week. My conservatory is around 23sq f

High End Product. Keeps room free of condensation.
Everything about this product is quality. It’s design is sleek and unobtrusive. We use it in the tv room on eco mode and cannot hear it running when tv is on. I highly recommend the Eco Air. We have very large widows and sliding patio door and the unit removes all condensation. I set temperature and forget about it the unit takes care of humidity levels, turns on and off when needed, stops automatically when full. When water is removed from unit, I turn it back on and that’s that. This unit has made all the difference between a damp room with wet windows and a room that is fresh and healthy. Eco Air also runs a little heat when needed to speed up process of removing condensation. AAA+ Highly recommended.

Nice Piece of Equipme
Looks as good as a dehumidifier can, has nice feel, reservoir easy to remove and empty, simple to use. Makes roughly the noise of a table mounted electric fan – can just hear it while in bed if left on in downstairs hall, but not enough to wake us. Seems to work well, removing enough moisture to keep humidity at acceptable level (we have a medium sized 1920’s house without cavity wall). If you have serious humidity problems or a big house, you’d need 2 of these, or the compressor type dehumidifier which is a lot more money and makes a lot more noise.

Highly recommended
I bought this dehumidifier as I live in a static caravan and every winter I have serious condensation problems. Last year I had to replace all my net curtains as they were covered in black mould which was unsightly and unhygienic. This dehumidifier was delivered on time and is a nice looking unit which is compact and easy to move with the built-in handle. This is a desiccant dehumidifier ( as opposed to a compressor type) which means it can operate at lower temperatures and has an operating range between +1C and 40C. The control buttons are easy to understand and use. When I received this unit the relative humidity indoors was between 75 – 80%. After 2 days use on the automatic setting it had dropped to an acceptable 50 – 60% and the dehumidifier had removed 8 litres (almost 2 gallons) of water from the air. I now only use it for a few hours a day on a low setting to maintain this lower percentage. The fan is quiet on the low setting and slightly noisier on the high setting, about the same as a normal domestic fan. This has a laundry setting which enables you to dry a load of washing in 4 hours and means I can save money as I no longer have to use the tumble dryer. It also has an ioniser which purifies the air blown out of fan. The water tank is easy to remove and empty and the air filter is easy to remove and clean. The machine cuts out when the water tank is full and restarts once the tank has been emptied. The machine does emit a slight smell for the first couple of days but this is normal and soon goes away. I highly recommend this dehumidifie

Quiet and efficie
Bought this as a replacement for a larger EcoAir dehumidifier which had died after many years faithful service. We use it to dry laundry and it is very quiet, small enough to stand on the work surface in the utility room but still does a great job of drying the laundry.

We have found EcoAir dehumidifiers to be very effective and a good combination of price and quality. We have purchase 5 over the last decade – for extended family and ourselves – and they have all proved reliable and highly effective for reducing humidity levels without problems.

Very impressive produc
We have had this now for about 6 months and is used on a daily basis. Several adjustable settings allow a great many combinations for flexibility. Looks good and very quite on the lowest settings if you wish to use this at night in your bedroom we don’t, but it is possible. This product is also fitted with an ‘ioniser’ and silver filter so filtering all the circulated air. I would certainly purchase this again if needed.

Finally a dehumidifier that actually works in cold rooms!
Super impressed with the results so far. People who are complaining about the noise level clearly don’t have a serious enough condensation problem, it could be playing the trombone for all I care as long as it stops the damp! And to be honest, unless it’s on the max setting at full power I hardly even notice it. The eco/energy saving mode is much quieter, I have it on that overnight near my bedroom and it doesn’t bother me at all.

I used it on full power for the first couple of days to sort out the worst of the damp problem, and it must have cleared at least 5-6 litres in 48 hours, I was delighted! I can finally use my conservatory again without feeling chesty. I’ve noticed a real improvement in my health so far this winter, so that’s a plus!

It’s super light and easy to carry around the house, and tipping out the water is a breeze too. Even if it only lasts me through one winter, it’s already done its money’s worth in my opinion. But it seems like a durable device, so I’m looking forward to using it throughout 2020.

As an add-on, the laundry setting as been a godsend! I don’t have a tumble dryer, and it’s cut down my rack-drying time by about a 3rd.

Had this device for years and has never failed me.
This device has been great for my home and has lasted for many years. It has never failed. It collects water very well and the tray is easy to pull out and you just pour the water away down the sink and slot the drawer back in and it automatically carries on working. You can have it at half power or full power depending on how fast you want it to work. I usually have it running on half power during the winter so it is keeping the damp at bay, and I put it on full power if I am drying clothes inside on the radiators. I am going to get a second dehumidifyer so I dont have to keep carrying it between rooms, but this time I will go for a cheaper model as you can get “mini” ones for about 50 now which seem to have good reviews. I can’t fault Ecoair though and I have always been happy with this device.

Works really really well!!!
Wow Wow wow before and after photos with a 30min running time on the laundry function. 3/4 of tank pulled in!! You can hear it but as you can see my husband was doing a video conferencing call with 4 other people no problem!!! Best thing I’ve bought in ages. Emptied tank and started in the bedrooms 🙂

Reliable, not too noisy and long lasting
I have had this dehumidifier for 5 yrs in October and it has performed brilliantly. It has been used in our damp cellar, for drying clothes , maintaining room humidity, and just recently for combating a leaking roof in our attic which can not be fixed for 3 weeks or so due to rain. 5yrs and still touch wood , through continuous use has NEVER failed me
Going to buy another one soon so i always have one in reserve
Not sure on elec consumption as we have a lot of electrical appliances always on the go, but not noticed much difference as late when ive had it on the go almost permanently
I give it 5 star for reliability

Super dehumidifier and reasonably priced
I bought this specific dehumidifier as a friend had recommended it and I must say it works very well and pretty quietly.

I haven’t had one before so can’t really compare to anything else, but we bought this to help dry out a very damp room which had been recently re-plastered and would not dry in our old/poorly insulated cottage in the wet and cold weather.

Within a day of putting the unit into the room most of the walls had visibly dried and a day later the entire walls appeared dry. We have kept the machine on for about a week now and the whole house is feeling much less damp and cold. The most marked improvement is that clothes are coming out of the wardrobe feeling dry and warm and the same can be said for our bed sheets which previously felt very cold and slightly damp every evening when getting into bed.

A number of reviews say this, but having bought this item my only regret is that I did not buy one sooner. We recently moved into an old cottage which is poorly heated and hardly insulated so it seems we have signed up to a lifetime of dehumidifiers, but with this unit being as small and quiet as it is, we are quite happy to have it working away on one of the relative humidity settings to keep our house comfortable and prevent excessive moisture in the built-in wardrobes causing damage to clothing.

If you are looking for a dehumidifier in this price bracket I would thoroughly recommend.

Does exactly as described
A well described humidifier. It seems to work well and certainly removes moisture from the air, blowing out pleasantly warm dry air. I placed this unit on the upstairs landing of our 3 bedroom semi.The result is that all of the upstairs rooms significantly warmer, the heating is on its lowest setting in all rooms except the bathroom. Downstairs there is almost zero condensation except when cooking, no extractor fan in kitchen so we shut doors and open windows.
The longevity remains to be seen.

I wish that we had bought this sooner!
Bought this after repeatedly suffering from mold patches on the windows and ceiling of our bedroom (no doubt exacerbated by the en-suite shower). For the first 3 or 4 days it was running almost constantly and had to be emptied a couple of times a day. Now it only turns on for a few minutes every 2 or 3 hours and requires emptying every 2 or 3 days. The windows are much less likely to have condensation on them in a morning and the ceiling patches have stayed away after they were cleaned. I am really impressed by the performance of this dehumidifier and would happily recommend it to friends. The noise level, from its position about 1.5m from the foot of our bed, is very acceptable and doesn’t disturb our sleep. We have it turned to about midway on the scale for the humidity setting and it remains turned on unless we are going out all day, or going away. I don’t think it is using much electricity once it has reached the humidity level that is set.

Takes your breath away!
We moved into a bungalow in the summer. When cooler weather came we started getting a lot of condensation overnight on our bedroom window and realised that the lintel above it was made of metal, as was the window frame. The condensation started to cause mould, so eventually we bought the EcoAir. Problem solved! It is a powerful beast that has been worth every penny. The condensation has gone and the mould has not reappeared after treating it – previously it reappeared every couple of weeks. We switch it on for a few hours after we have got up in the morning and we have been amazed at how much moisture it has taken out of the atmosphere. This means the air in the room is much drier when we go to bed and the condensation stays away. I would recommend this dehumidifier to anyone, it is worth every penny.

EcoAir dehumidifier - brilliant.
We are very pleased with this. We chose it after checking on line for comments. The case seems strong and is elegant. All the parts fit very well and there are no rattles from inside. The fan is quiet enough to have in a bedroom and is significantly noisier when operating at full blast. The control options are clearly marked on the top panel and give a variety of combinations for dehumidifying. We have a large glass enclosed veranda on a flat roof. The condensation in the morning in winter is considerable, but in 2/3 hours this is all gone and sometimes fills the container on the device ( 7 litres). All in all, this has (so far) been a very good buy and my wife has already suggested we should buy another one for downstairs. She’s probably right.

Best alternative to a tumble drye
Best alternative to a tumble dryer if you don’t own one. I hang my work clothes and towels ect. … on the clothes dryer with the Ecoair underneath and set it on high for a couple of hours then set it on a slow dry and leave everything to dry overnight. Its cheap to run and quiet too.
No more water running down the walls or Black mould in my house. The Ecoair draws moist air in and blows slight warm air outwards. Something I couldn’t live without. No more sour smelling clothes either.

Removed damp smells from rooms, gets id of condensation problems.
Excellent. Can be expensive to run (power use 300 to 600 watts depending on setting chosen) but worth every penny. Use when not able to open the windows to remove condensation or if drying has to be done indoors. So especially useful in the winter months. Works well but I would suggest that it is a bit loud, even in quiet mode, to have in a room where you are sleeping. If you can leave the internal doors open and place it outside the room then not too intrusive in terms of noise. Easy to empty tray with 2 litre capacity and auto cutoff.

Great product. Moved in to 3 bed bungalow which ...
Great product. Moved in to 3 bed bungalow which had been empty for 1yr, Problem with windows running with moisture in morning. After running the dehumidifier for a few days the problem has gone. Now just use it for half a day in winter occasionally to keep the moisture at bay. could do with a bigger water holder but that would make the device bigger so we are happy to empty the reservoir a couple of times each day – reduces as moisture leaves the house. Would recommend this product without reserve.

Good looking and effective dehumidifier.
I researched many different dehumidifiers before settling on this one and had previously owned a refrigerant type – which was sent back as way too noisy.
It was a close run between this and a Meaco desiccant model but that was some 30-40 more with similar specs so hard to justify the extra cost.
The reason I settled on this is that these desiccant models work much better in colder environments where the temperature is below 15c and during winter my static mobile home drops way below this. The compressor types need the air temperature to be cooler so struggle to perform.
On higher settings it does increase the room temperature and has quite an effective drying function.
+ Good looking and light.
+ Much quieter than compressor dehumidifiers
+ Effective and can easily drawer 2 litres of water in a damp room
– Can be fairly expensive to run on higher power levels
– When the tank is full it’s not particularly easy to slide out and carry without spilling water.

A pretty good desig
I’ve been using this unit for nearly two years. I recently had it replaced under warranty after about 18 months as the first one began to have a squeaky fan.

Pros:
~ it’s compact
~ it takes out a good deal of moisture, depending on the manual dial setting you give it
~ it’s quiet
~ it’s stable on its feet
~ it has a handle to pick it up and move it and it’s not very heavy
~ the air filter is easily cleaned by a vacuum cleaner (you shouldn’t wet it, say the instructions)
~ customer service is excellent

Cons:
~ It’s quite power hungry. 324W on normal, 600+ on higher fan speed. I am not sure if this is a feature of desiccant dehumidifiers. I had a compressor type before and it used 190W. Then again, it wore out!
~ the tank for captured water is quite small. On high setting, you’d perhaps need to empty it more than once a day.
~ I’m not sure that the permanent drain hose facility can be disabled once employed – you have to punch out a piece of plastic on the unit to install the hose. I’ve not done this.
~ the little window to view how full the capture tank is getting is almost useless.
~ the relative humidity setting dial isn’t graduated, so you can’t use it as an indication of how moist the air is. I bought the recommended add-on product of the hygrometer to go with it and that solves the issue.

Neat, lightweight and fit for purpose.
Our 1920s house is single skin construction, no room for cavity wall insulation, and although the windows have been replaced, the smell of damp persisted. As an initial strategy, I used a hygrometer to assess the relative humidity (between 68-88%) and purchased this de-humidifier to see if the problem could be addressed. After setting the machine to 50% humidity and using it for three days (only a couple of hours a day and only on the low setting), the smell has disappeared from the room. I have emptied the water reservoir at each use, and have been amazed at how much water is being removed from the space. I will keep using it and will then move it to another room to see if the smell there can be tackled. I guess it’s a regular process rather than a one-off but hopefully this means that I can delay stripping off and replacing the old plaster.

Excellent produc
I have a new build and moisture in a new build is common. Has removed a large volume of water from my 4 bed house. Just by placing it in a central location upstairs.
I was suffering from “hay fever” like symptoms every morning even with low pollen counts and I don’t really suffer from hay fever anyway.
After running this for one night no more sniffles and sneezes.
I had it on auto to start but to be honest the eco mode will do the job and keep the running costs down too.
Easy to move around… and easy to empty the water tray. Simple to operate.
I have a humidity gauge and it was reading nearly 80% humidity this took it down to 60->65%.
Used the clothes drying once but we have a dryer now so don’t need that feature much now.

Excellent quality and attractive too
I’ve been through many dehumidifiers in the last 15 years living in an old terrace house. Of all of them, this is by far the best.
The bucket is squat, which makes you think it’s small, or will spill, but the design means it hold a lot of water yet is easy to lift out and empty.
The unit (empty) is half the weight of units of comparable size.
The economy setting is incredibly quiet but efficient, and while the clothes drying setting is noisy you can almost see it sucking the moisture out of the air!
The shape of it is far friendlier than other models which tend to be rounded and bulbous, this fits snuggly into a small room much better because it is square.
Overall it looks good too, although I wouldn’t pay an extra 50 to get it in pink!
It’s been running well in my house for 6 months so far, and because it is so light its no burden to move it around to where its needed most.

No more hanging pants on the radiators!
I love this machine. When it’s wet and cold outside, we can do as much washing as we like (three loads if we want to even), and we just hang all the wet clothes up in the loft, switch this machine on and the next morning it’s all wonderfully dry. No need for an expensive tumble drier (which is bad for your clothes anyway), and best of all – no damp, no condensation or mildew on on windows, or unsightly pants hanging around on radiators!

No idea if the ioniser actually does anything mind you, but who cares.

Really – if I was in charge I’d give every household in the land one of these.
