EcoAir DD1 Simple Blue Desiccant Dehumidifier| Rotary Control | 7 Litre/Day | Quiet 34dBA | Anti Bacteria Silver Filter | Laundry | 6Kg | Home Garage Basement Boat | 2Y Warranty

After many years of service my original DD1, which has been working every day between autumn and spring drying washing and our steamy kitchen when cooking, started to leak water past the side of the collection container intermittently and needed replacing as not cost effective to even ask about repair.

No hesitation – straight onto Amazon and get another DD1 – next day it arrived. (suggestion – do not select to have it put into Amazon packaging as being in its original box enables delivery driver to see which way up it needs to be and also gives them 2 strong handle to carry it by, so avoiding the occasional comment about it arriving upside down)

Once out of its sturdy deliver packaging I let it sit in a warm room (very cold day at time of delivery so device felt cold) for a few hours to aclimatise and let any outside dampness clear the workings.

Straight away I noticed that Ecoair have improved this model since my original purchase and it now has manually adjustable 3D louvers on the air outlet – I don’t think they have updated the listing to mention this.

First day drying washing on the bathroom line I spent time adjusting the 3D louvers – they have a nice click to them as you move through 8 optional angles and judging by the various amounts of movement seen on the washing can tell this really does make a difference.

I now leave the louvers in the position I have decided is best and washing is now dry in 60 – 90 minuets quicker than with the original (non-adjustable) DD1.

Well done Ecoir for continuing to evolve their machine – its better than ever now.

I bought this to speed up very slow laundry drying in my basement utility room. I was really sceptical that it would work & it was a last resort – but it does really work. The laundry drying function is amazing, it cuts down drying time by about 75% – I’m amazed at the amount of water that comes out. It’s a compact machine and not too noisy. Love i

The smell is caused by the type of rock that absorbs the water in the unit. This will have absorbed a lot of the new plastic smell when sitting in the box. The smell gets milder over time, but never fully disappears.
Don’t get this for your bedroom.

This is a boon for helping to dry wet clothes, its so quiet you forget its o

Had one of these for well over 15 years and it worked flawlessly. It finally gave up the ghost recently but that is a pretty good life expectancy in todays world. I tried a few brands which I had to send back because of faults, then I found out Ecoair were still making these. Ordered one right away and it arrived the next day. It’s working just fine so far like the old one. The design is simple and easy for anyone to use and it’s relatively quiet. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Cold damp British winter. Humidity in house 75% heating off or on. Empty rooms heating off humidity 50% in 2 hours temp increase by 2/3oC. Big improvement n no mould or spores flying around. It works well.

I had been doing some research on what the best De-humidifier was out there, I had read so many reviews on quite a few of them, and was so mixed up with which was the best, as most had good and bad reviews, I got down to 2 that I thought was the best for me, MEACO and the ECOAIR DD1 CLASIC MK6. The MEACO was a bit out of my price range but if it worked the best I was willing to buy it, but when I went to checkout it had sold out so I decided I would buy the ECOAIR DD1, and I am so pleased I did the function buttons are easy to understand and it works like magic, I certanly made the right choice, it ticks all the boxes, its pretty quite, dried out our conservatory which was full of condensation and damp within a few hours and the clothes drying mode works wonders, there is a timer on the unit so I go to bed set the timer and my washing is dry by then next morning I would highly recommend this unit, it’s very lightweight and so easy to use, and it cost around 7p an hour to run, one of my best purchases I’ve made for half the price of the MEACO.

Great product, would definitely recommend. I’d brought a cheap humidity gauge and it was regularly registering over 80, now with this dehumidifier it’s a pleasant 60.

My accommodation is a basement room. Great space but it was getting colder even with the heating on in the rest of the house and on in my room.

It was the last straw when I moved some furniture and realised that it was damp/wet underneath ( and no I wasn’t drying washing in my room). Also I was struggling to get motivated on my non work days to get up, as continual coughs, cold and even an eye infection. I just felt unwell.

A friend visited and commented that I wasn’t myself and felt that my room was humid and that I needed to consider moving out. But what about trying a dehumidifier first, as they knew I liked my room.

We looked online and realised that I needed something quiet and fairly portable. But didn’t want to pay the earth for it.

Absolutely great product, made a difference the first night I used it. Took a couple of days to get the humidity down in my room, but now only have to put it on for a few hours a couple of times a week or if I’ve been away.

It has completely changed the environment and now I’ve found it even dries washing our house tumble drier packed in two weeks ago.

If you want to move this between rooms, it is super light and a good compact size.
I live in a 5 storey solid stone house in a damp valley. We can’t put extractors in as it’s a grade 2 listed building. We have bathrooms on 3 different floors and condensation on single glazed windows nearly every day in the winter.
This machine is a powerful unit. I can put it on for 2 hours after a shower in an en-suite bedroom (about 12×19 feet total) and the humidity dropped from 83-55%. I bought some thermpro humidity readers- relatively cheap and super useful and accurate at showing how damp a room is. So, if it tells you it’s damp in one room, you can carry the dehumidifier to where it’s needed.
I like that it has a hose outlet and hose included if ever we are out /away and want it on the constant mode.
Would be excellent for laundry in a small room. Really useful if you don’t want the hassle of emptying it. I might buy another one for another problem bedroom but right now, it’s really easy to lift and move around the home.
I also bought a Meaco Arte at the same time for a laundry room. Much bigger 25l heavy duty powerhouse. But this is a very damp room with tumble dryer, a lot of laundry hanging and a steam generator iron going up to 10 hrs a week. It doesn’t need to move.
I really researched my needs; this one is perfect for smaller properties and small utility rooms for drying laundry or, if like me, you want to use it in specific rooms and move it around. Large ones are VERY heavy.
I have another older XDry whose tank spills on getting it out. This little one is great- can put on carpet, won’t spill. Very solid, high quality construction. Easy sliding tank- no jerky slopping of water. Great choice of programmes and very easy to understand dashboard so you won’t have to pull out the instruction manual all the time.
The only things I don’t like are that it’s quite noisy- although a constant hush/ white noise. I couldn’t sleep with it in the room or watch tv comfortably- but I only use it on the high mode.
I know from other models that it’s energy usage isn’t the best so I dropped star for that- but – it is extremely quick at extracting moisture for its size so cost wise, you save from that.
Extremely happy with it.

Does the job that it was purchased for in my conservatory. Quiet and easy to use. My only gripe is when it comes to emptying the water tray it is quite difficult to pull the draw out and I end up spilling some water on my floor. But I consider it a good dehumidifier and am pleased with my purchase.

Bought one in 2011 to put in our conservatory to prevent condensation on the windows during winter months. Now, 10 years later, works just as good as the day we first used it. Not had a steamy window since. Also use it to dry washing. It gives off a little heat which is a bonus on colder days. Bought 2 more in 2012 to give to son and daughter, and they also are still working well. I’m about to buy another to put in the garage and when I realised how long we’d had one I thought it was about time I gave a review. Remains one of the best things I’ve ever bought on Amazon.

I’ve previously had a small dehumidifier to help with our outside concrete panelled shed during the winter where we have freezers it struggled and many times froze up so accepting my mistake I looked for something more suitable for this winter and in particular would work at low temperatures, and bought this model and have to say it does the job the “tank” holds 2.2lts and although I’ve only set it on roughly half power as it has several settings to suit environment have to empty the “tank” every 2-3 days, it doesn’t run all the time it cuts in when it senses the need and it certainly has made a big difference. It is portable and suitable to use in house for example if you are drying washing indoors during wet weather which absorbs and helps with damp washing. Yes very pleased maybe paid a little more than anticipated but when it does the job is the key factor.

I’ve had this machine for 5years. It’s wonderful, I’ve lent it to so many friends over the years. It’s a hi

Bought this in 2015 it’s still going strong. It leaked a bit within 6 months, I sent it for repairs, they sent it back saying it was repaired. Still leaked a bit, I use it with a tray underneath, it works beautifully. Sometimes it leaks sometimes it doesn’t. Dries laundry like nothing else, cheap to use, it does not crank up the electric bill too much, doubles the efficiency of the central heating, has taken the edge off winters in northern England for real. Nifty robot.

My first decedent dehumidifier, and I like it. It works quickly so it doesn’t bother me in my office for too long. It does smell a bit, from time to time, but an air purifier takes that away pretty quickly, and which I want as using the dehumidifier i keep doors and windows closed. It’s also a lot quieter than the ‘fridgerant’ dehumidifiers, and I’ve used the tube it came with to drain automatically outside. Lastly, having the humidity down means I’m not so cold, so hopefully the cost of running it balances a bit with reduced need for heating. (good for clothes drying too)

Works more efficiently and more quietly than my old dehumidifier, with more features and settings. Switches itself off when it reaches a set point of relative humidity, which is a nice feature I haven’t seen before on devices in this price range. Reasonably quiet too, though I don’t think I’d want it on in a room I was trying to sleep in. Removing the water tank is a bit fiddly, and this is the first time I’ve come across a tank that’s longer than it is tall (it’s a bit like a toolbox sort of shaped unit) and you have to be gentle and steady to remove it from the body, but that seems to be a universal issue with dehumidifiers, so I’m not going to grumble. Good purchase, fine bit of tech.

We have suffered from condensation in the property for years.
This item is great.
We now only have it on a couple of hours in the evening but wake up to clear ,dry windows.
A drier atmosphere which obviously is quicker to heat! Dry air heats better than moist air.
Which off sets the cost of the machine against the saving in central heating.
We would not be without this item

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.

Great little Dehumidifier collects water very well …although not sure how accurate the built-in humidistat is as it seems to read differently to the mobile gauge I have in my garage. Also when you turn the switch there is quite a big difference between on and off. But overall I find it Ideal for my garage, especially as its the desicant type. I recommend taking out the extra breakdown cover as it wasn’t that expensive and considering all humidifiers I researched seemed to be a bit hit and miss for reliability even the more expensive ones it’s probably worth it.

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.

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.

very neat unit and easy to control . I use it in a flat for reducing water content and maintaining a comfortable atmosphere, disappointed that the full lamp has already ceased to function. Day later…. Full lamp functioning again after checking water container as per instructions. Neighbour impressed with design!!!! me too. room humidity was a little over 60RH now down to 47RH which is defined as being a comfortable RH especially where I live ….near the sea and vey salt laden atmosphere.

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.
