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

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.

Hesitated for a long time between this dehumidifier and more expensive models. Decided this no-frills model did everything we needed it to at a good price.

Used through the winter in our conservatory where it sucked 2l every other day while gently warming the room – even saved quite a bit on the electric bill! No more condensation in that room which has been fabulous.

Easy to empty. The small container means it’s easy to carry – my 7 yr old son loves to do it when he notices the red indicator is on.

Switches off automatically when full. No drips.

Haven’t found it too noisy – was expecting worse from reading other reviews.

I’ve also used it to dry washing and again, this has been more economical than using the tumble drier.

So far so good, this dehumidifier is well worth the money! Within the first day it had removed ~6 litres of water from the air. I bought an atmospheric hygrometer alongside this and I can watch the dehumidifier work its magic, which is strangely satisfying.

I originally got this to dry out the room where I store my camera equipment but as long as the doors are open, this dehumidifier is powerful enough to quickly suck moisture out of other rooms in the house too. Even on a moderate setting this dehumidifier can reduce humidity from 51% to ~36% in less than an hour.

Works very well and collects water nicely. Bought for when drying clothes (that I cant tumble dry or hang outside in the winter) and it keeps the humidity down nicely. Does take a little while to get up to speed for extracting moisture but once going it does the job nicely (and I feel quietly even at max speed).

Didn’t even smell when it starts up, something that the manual and some people mentioned, so was happy at that also.

Great machine however I wish I had spent a little more and bought the newer digital version as that you can ‘time’ to run and switch off I believe – this one you cant so would be on all day (though maybe I haven’t read the manual properly!). However as I don’t need really it all year round I am happy.

Cant tell you how much it costs to run but suppose treating dampness would cost a lot more!

Would I recommend? Yes.

I got this for a house in Co Clare where it is damp all the time. I researched and found that desiccant worked great for cold areas as it did not have to heat up as some dehumidifiers would stop in cold areas. This worked in an area that was 5degrees. It took the damp feel and smell out of the air within a few hours.
I was very surprised how much water it collected in the first day. I sent it on auto mode so once it got to the right humidity it would stop. Great for when you are drying clothes inside. They took half the time and the room smelt alot better.
Easy to empty but could do with a larger drip tray. Once you take the tray out no water drips with is great as my last one did this. Once you turn off the dehumidifier the fan will continue for a few minutes. Would definately buy another one again. Delivered by the local post so arrived in once piece!!

Coming up to a year old and still going strong. Had a different model before and it didn’t last this long. Showed signs of dying a long time before with a wobbling noise inside. Nothing like that yet with this one.

It gets used heavily, i.e. it’s switched on all the time. Not necessarily on and sucking water out of the air all the time though.
Probably a setting just before the two droplets on the dial. Seems to keep the humidity just under 60%. Bucket fills up maybe once every day to 3 days, depending on the weather outside (yep – seems to have an effect somehow) and how much moisture is being generated indoors.

Great for drying clothes. Just leave it on and point the vent towards the clothes. Does tend to warm a room up when on… a lot… especially when drying clothes.

Main reason we bought it was because we moved into a new build last December and wanted to do what we could to keep damp at bay. Done the job – not a single problem with mould or damp anywhere in the house at all.

Only downside is there is no beeping or indication that the water bucket is full up other than a tiny little red light on the top. Have to empty it every day just to make sure it doesn’t fill up and stop.

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.

After 6 days using this dehumidifier I can only say it’s a little gem. I had decided to buy the ecoair dc18 as the reviews were very positive however I came across the differences between a compressor and desiccant dehumidifier. Taking into account all pros and cons after reading several reviews and the fact desiccant dehumidifiers work better under low temperatures I thought for the UK weather this should be better. I live in a small 2 bed maisonette and I have found some mould on both bedrooms(around the windows due to condensation and some mould under my child’s bed that I treated with anti mould spray) and condensation on the windows every morning. I also felt the hallway and particularly the 2 bedrooms were quite muggy. On the first 3 days I was shocked to see the amount of water that was collected. I’ve placed it in the middle of the hallway with all doors opened and windows closed and started using the higher setting that is supposed to switch to economy once the desired humidity levels are reached however this is yet to happen, or if it has happened then I haven’t noticed. I have also used the eco setting and I’m happy to say it worked as expected and the tank was full after a couple of hours. I bought a hygrometer along with the dehumidifier to check the levels of humidity and from what I can see and feel they are definitely “matching”, I can see the levels of humidity lower once the dehumidifier is working. I have left it working over 2 full nights and for 4 hours during 1 other night and I woke up to completely dry windows. I also feel the air is much more fresh and the damp feeling is gone. I didn’t give much thought to the laundry mode but it’s absolutely brilliant! I have a dryer however a few clothes can’t be tumble dried so this setting comes in very handy. The turbo setting has dried some of the clothes under 5 hours, there were some thick jumpers and light shirts however I can’t think jeans would take much longer. I don’t think this unit is very heavy and it’s not as ugly as some dehumidifiers are even though I don’t think prettiness should count at all when you want to choose something so important. Noise wise: in my personal opinion I do think this is quite noisy, but then again my house is small and all in one floor. The noise doesn’t particularly bother me and we can definitely sleep through it when in eco mode but it’s like having a fan on and I have had another dehumidifier that was less noisy. Unlike other reviewers I have not noticed a burning smell, in fact I think it actually deodorizes the environment. I am so pleased with this dehumidifier and I would have loved if it had an electronic display showing the humidity level and a switch to turn off the small blue light but all in all I think it’s great and definitely recommend it.

Update 1: So after 1 week it has started to switch itself off, first during laundry mode, it works for about 2 minutes and it shuts down. I’ve tried it in eco mode and it does the same. No lights pointing to an issue, water tank is not full. It simply switches itself off pointing to some kind of issue. I’m now returning this item and having it replaced. Hopefully the replacement won’t have this issue.

This item is brilliant, does a great job. It is not quiet, but not loud.
It does a great job of drying the washing when hanging in a room and the timer and programs are great.
I like the set it going and leave it to do it thing. It is much cheaper than a tumble drier.

We have had it a while now and it still does the job brilliantly. Do read the instructions before using it, as it has many feature that you need to know about. Like shutting off when the water container is full. (If you are not using the optional waste water pipe)

One thing I will point out is that when you press the off button be prepared for it to take a little while to turn itself off as it has a shutdown routine.

The EcoAir DD122 came highly recommended not only through Amazon reviews but also from forums with people raving about how it consistently pulls large volumes of moisture out of the air. The price made me hesitate a little but I took the plunge and am so glad I did. My home was around 70% humidity in most rooms as a result of cooking, showering and drying clothes indoors on a heated rack. I ran this on eco mode for about 8 hours while I was at work and when I came back the humidity had dropped to 50%. I have also found that running it near my clothes rack really helps to not only prevent humidity from reaching all extremities of my home but also helps to significantly reduce their drying time.

I would highly recommends this product. It is compact, effective and on eco mode only draws ~300W!

I bought this to deal with a damp problem in a couple of bedrooms and the annual issue of drying clothes in a rainy UK winter. It has been effective in tackling both although it obviously can’t fix the causes of damp in a home.

I chose a desiccant dehumidifier as the room we use for drying washing is often fairly chilly and a fridge compressor based unit would struggle in those conditions. Handily, desiccant units are also a bit lighter, smaller and quieter than fridge compressor dehumidifiers so there are advantages there for moving it about and using it in bedrooms. I’ve been regularly moving this unit up and down stairs and it’s no hassle at all.

I’ve been using it mostly on low or the “eco” mode that switches between high and low depending on the humidity. On low and at around 60% humidity at 15C or so it fills the 2L tank in about 12 hours, which seems pretty good to me and in line with the claimed performance on high. In terms of efficiency I’d also note that it does provide a bit of heating. Not enough on low to fend off a very cold day but enough to raise a bedroom a few degrees over a couple of hours.

The noise aspect is always going to be subjective. The noise on low is nearly all from the fan drawing air and is about the same as a desk fan or a large computer fan. Apart from that there is very little rattling or squeaking, just the occasional drip of water into the tank (and the fact that you can hear that occasional drip should give an idea of how low the fan noise is). For me the fan noise is very easy to sleep with but could be distracting if you’re trying to listen to a quiet radio or similar.

If I could pinpoint an area for improvement it would be the timer options and more flexibility in humidity triggers. For example it would be nice for me to be able to set it to fire up in the middle of the night, turn off at 8am, and to move the high/low eco trigger point up to 70% humidity. However, these sorts of options aren’t found in other models either so I’m not going to subtract stars for it.

We bought this having had problems with mould for years on the bedroom windows and particularly in our bathroom and we wanted to find a solution to the problem but can’t quite stretch to getting radiators fitted upstairs at the moment. We have been using it for a few weeks now, we have it on the landing and the bathroom and bedroom doors are left ajar all night. The bathroom window has always run with condensation every morning as it has two outside walls and the only, very small upstairs radiator, since having the dehumidifier on (8hrs overnight on the timer, economy setting) the window is dry and there is no condensation on the bedroom windows either. I have taken to standing the washing in the spare room overnight and it cuts drying time down meaning less time drying round the radiators. It is relatively quiet and didn’t take long to sleep without noticing the noise, there is no smell from it since the initial ‘new’ smell on the first couple of nights and it also has the bonus effect of heating the upstairs with warm air too. Highly recommend and hope it lasts for years!

I hate condensation on my windows – it drives me nuts.
I read reviews about this product, that weren’t actually that great.
Many people said this product stopped working after 3-6 months and most people said they had issues within 12 months.
I’m now well into my second year with this product and I have it on 4 hours every night on full mode from October until March, and it still works like a dream.

The great thing about this is, it gives off warm air AND it works in cold cold tempaeratures where other dehumidifiers do not – THAT IS KEY.
This products ability to work into low temperatures means it works when other dehimdifiers will not and removes more moisture from the air.

I no longer get condensation on my windows or anywhere else in the house.

This product is noisy and your sleep will get disturbed even in “eco mode”

I am surprised I havent wore this product out yet, but when I do I will buy another, money well spent and money I will eventually spend on again when I finally wear this one out.

I live in an old house with some single-glazed windows and solid walls so I get a lot of condensation problems. This winter I decided to buy a dehumidifier before trying to modify the house.

I weighed up the two different types of dehumidifier: condenser and desiccant. Condensers are the original type, and work like a fridge turned inside-out. The benefits are proven technology and long operating life. However, they are heavy and noisy. I expected to be carrying this thing around the house frequently and using it while working at home, so these drawbacks were significant.

Desiccants like the EcoAir are a newer type and are supposed to be quieter and lighter, so I went for this option. I was pleasantly surprised at how small and light the machine was. It’s the size of a home-office paper-shredder. Noise level depends on what mode you use — it ranges from very quiet (like the fan in a laptop) to moderately loud (like a fan heater on maximum speed) — but even at maximum power the noise is a steady ‘whoosh’ and is not unpleasant. If it’s in an adjacent room with the door shut, it won’t bother you.

I’m very pleased with the performance of the machine. It will dry out my damp garage, including a wet car, collecting the full 2 litres of water overnight. It stops my utility room from steaming up when I hang up the washing in winter, and dries the washing much quicker than the electric oil-filled radiator that I used to use. I expect it will be cheaper to run too – 500 watts for the dehumidifier versus 2000 watts for the radiator. Some users have posted negative reviews about this unit’s performance, but I can’t fault it. According to my humidity gauge, the EcoAir took the humidity in one room from steamy to 10% overnight. This was much drier than I wanted, so I now use the timer to prevent excessive drying. Another online review mentions a burning smell on first use, but I didn’t get that problem. I also think the unit looks quite smart.

The built-in timer is easy to use, with just three simple options of 2, 4 or 8 hours. The control panel is well laid-out and took me just a few minutes to master. I’m not sure about the ionizer – I believe it managed to remove the musty smell from a damp room, but I haven’t tested it much so I could have just imagined the improvement.

The tank is easy to remove and empty, but also is the only slight weakness I can see in the machine. The tank is quite a complicated bit of kit, with a swivel handle, a close-fitting lid and a float sensor built in. With frequent emptying, this is the most likely part to get damaged and I don’t know if you can buy a spare.

In conclusion, this does everything I expected of it, for a reasonable price. It may not last as long as the more traditional types, but I still think it’s worth the money.

Update (27/1/2016): I recommend EcoAir for their customer service. I suspected a fault in my DD122, outside the Amazon return period but within the 2 year warranty. I contacted EcoAir, filled in their online form, and they immediately arranged a courier to pick up the unit. Luckily for me the fault turned out to be user error, so I cancelled the courier and my unit is now working perfectly. Still a happy customer!

Update (20/10/19): The machine conked out after 4 and a half years. I sent it back for repair and it now works like new again. I had to pay, as the warranty had expired, but it cost me less than half the price of a new machine, so I’m still a happy customer. The water bucket is still intact despite my concerns about its fragility. This is a great product!

This is the second dehumidifer I have purchased, the other one is a Delonghi DES12. I thought the Delonghi was good but this is even better. Lighter and more portable and works faster at removing water even though the comparable capacities suggest this is less powerful. The cleaning element also works well – especially notable in the bathroom. Being able to direct the air jet is a bonus for drying washing hanging indoors. Have used this daily since purchase and very happy so far. It is also quieter than the Delonghi but cannot be placed directly against a wall as it needs at least 20cm distance – although this has caused no issues for me. If it lasts at least a few years it will be an excellent purchase.

Living in an old Victoran house now fitted with uPVC windows and doors we suffer from damp problems every winter. I spent quite a lot of time researching dehumidifiers and was gong to buy the next model up – the mk5 classic. But when this wasn’t in stock I opted for the ‘Simple’. I’ve had it about two weeks now and it is truly amazing. Within half an hour of use it had extracted a cupful of water. Left overnight on a medium setting the tank is a third full. The house feels dryer and warmer too. Some reviews as well as the manual mention that it may smell when in use but this hasn’t been the case. It’s also very quiet in use, and feels very well made. As the name suggests it couldn’t be simpler to use. I’m glad I bought this model now as the Classic seems to differ manly in having more automated controls. It even looks stylish. No wonder it is rated number 1 on Amazon and has so many great reviews. I would highly recommend it.

The challenge:

1. A new (to me) 3 bed property, with double glazing, cavity wall insulation and loft insulation all designed to reduce draughts (also known as healthy air circulation!)
2. Two bedrooms facing north which have clearly had a damp problem in the past
3. No external wall space for a bathroom extractor fan
4. No tumble dryer – I would rather line dry, but in winter inevitably some clothes end up drying on an airer in front of a radiator
5. Heavy initial use of a carpet washer and steam cleaner to clean away the grime of ages, and to strip wallpaper
All resulting in condensation, a foisty smell and a worry about further damp problems

How the EcoAir is doing:

It’s November and the relative humidity outdoors here (according to the Met Office) is in the range from 85%-100%.
I’ve started out by running this for ten hours a day, morning and evening, mostly on the Eco setting and using the timer. It’s extracting 2L a day on average. I know that if I ran it for longer, it would extract more.
There is no window condensation now other than in the bathroom after showers, that window and the cotton bathmat dry nicely within an hour.
Bedding and pillows in use, and towels left out to air feel lovely and dry.
A load of laundry takes two hours to dry on the “high laundry” setting and produces at least a litre of water in excess of the normal rate, sometimes two – actually I’m a bit horrified how much water drying laundry releases.
The unit hasn’t actually dropped to the lower setting yet on its own, although it is designed to do this on Eco, suggesting that the humidity indoors isn’t yet below 60%. I’m sure the fabric of the house is still drying out.

Comments:

I could leave this on 24 hours (although switching to low overnight) but I’m happy to dry out the house more slowly.
As it’s in a bedroom I’ve had to run it for the last couple of hours each evening on the “low” setting as it’s too noisy on “high” for relaxation. It’s easy to set the timer so it switches off once I am asleep.
The warm exhaust air is helping to warm the bedroom, but I’m going to need to move the central heating thermostat away from its current location outside the bedroom door as the unit is locally increasing the temperature and downstairs is now a bit too cool.
However although the house is cooler, the fact the air is drier partly compensates for this and I believe I will be able to turn the central heating down by 1 or 2C (e.g. from 21C to 19C) without causing a mould problem.
I’m using airers for laundry rather than the radiator. There is no more effort required to dry laundry than there would be to use a tumble dryer, although it does help to rotate them after an hour as part of the drying effect is from the warm exhaust air blowing from the unit. The downside is having airers in the room but the upside is that this is cheaper than tumble drying – assuming the energy use calculations others have made are correct.
There’s no over-drying of the air, as there can be with air conditioning, which tends to give me sinus problems. An unexpected bonus is I’m not getting any congestion, so what I thought was a cold may in fact have been damp. This is another reason I am drying the house out slowly, so that we can acclimatise.

Summary:

This seems to work well. It’s not been a “switch on and forget” machine because it is a little noisy so I don’t want to run it overnight, plus I need to boost it for laundry, cleaning and decorating. But used in combination with central heating it’s making home very comfortable. I’m looking forward to seeing what bills are like, I am expecting to make some savings on heating and trips to the launderette to dry bedding (when weekends are wet) to offset the cost of running the unit.

Update:

I’ve now run the unit for two weeks. That’s an average of ten hours a day, plus two hours on “laundry” for each load dried – average eight loads a week. It’s extracted 35L of water (about half of which is from drying laundry). It has finally begun to operate in “Eco” mode by dropping to low power at times, which suggests that the house is now within a healthy humidity range.

I’ve learned it’s worthwhile opening the bathroom and kitchen windows (but with the room door shut) for a short period after showers and cooking, to let the steam out. It’s also worthwhile re-spinning towels and bedding on a fast spin, and part line-drying.

Update 2:

It’s coming up to a month now, I find that I only need to run the unit for six hours a day on Eco plus two hours on Laundry – to dry a load a day. When it’s on Eco it boosts to High occasionally but now the house has dried out it’s mainly running on Low. I’m pouring away about 1.5L a day – at least half is from laundry, I re-spin most loads now which does make a difference.

OK the only thing that I cant confirm that it is working ok is the Ionizer function, Sadly my wife has suffered terribly this year so far with her hay fever, and her eyes are permanently bright red and swollen to some degree on a daily basis, and having required her to make several doctors visits and even one to the emergency A&E eye clinic, the symptoms vary but despite running the Ionizer function it sadly does not seem to help as far as we can tell, NB. THIS MAY NOT be a problem that can be improved by this ionizer device as it is a very sever condition, and is far worse than she has ever had previously.

SO to the main function of the device and why I purchased it was for the dehumidifier function, and this works brilliantly, the smells others mention is definitely not there in ours, it does give of a little heat even on the lowest setting, but not a problem.

Would buy again without hesitation.

Summary: Brilliant product, would recommend without hesitation

Why we bought it: We had suffered from bad condensation on the upstairs bedroom windows every Winter for the last few years (ours is a very old house but with double glazed windows and from what I’ve read this is often not a happy combination). Finally I decided to do something about it, other than having to have the windows open most of the day long during the Winter to keep on top of the situation. After the first night of using this it was unbelievable – the next morning there was virtually no condensation, and after the second night there was absolutely zero condensation. So I wish I had got this product sooner, it’s incredible how much water it will draw out from your air. I couldn’t believe it. The item itself is neat and compact and once you have your situation under control, the maintenance level is nice and quiet, and we have this machine on 24/7 and it’s just outside the bedroom doors and it does not disturb sleep whatsoever. I now have the machine set to maintenance level, and it toggles between low and high (when more humidity is in the air that it needs to deal with), and at night time I just turn it right down to the one drip low setting and it’s very very quiet but powerful enough to prevent any condensation on the windows whatsoever. So, the product is brilliant and a fantastic price for the quality of the item. We have also noticed that we set our central heating at a much lower temperature to achieve the same warmth in our house than we did before we had this machine, so it’s saving us money on our gas central heating bills.

The main reason I have written this review, though, when I’ve never taken the time to write a review for anything else I’ve bought via Amazon before, is that the after-sales service is just out of this world….

After-sales service: If only every other company had the same quality of after-sales service as this one. I rang them immediately I received the item, for advice on which settings to use, given the layout of my house and our particular condensation problem, and received very helpful advice from the lady I spoke to. After a few days, the machine was still pulling loads of water from the air, even though we had had it set on the highest laundry setting to get on top of the problem. The information I had read about the product seemed to suggest that I should be able to turn the setting down after a few days, so I rang the company again, to ask for some advice on this, and a very helpful engineer/technical expert spent much time explaining to me in great detail the ins and outs of condensation problems and how the machine worked. From our discussion it soon became clear that ours was not a typical situation, which we already suspected!, and so we needed to adapt the settings accordingly – the condensation problem had built up over some years and also as ours is a 19th century house too, but with some unhelpful (for condensation) modernisations. I was advised to stay with the high laundry setting and ring back in a week and they would look at my situation again – and so it continued, and for a while I rang every week or couple of weeks, for further advice on how/when to alter the settings. Now that the situation is under control, and we are not emptying the machine so often, I no longer have my regular chats! It would be easy not to bother writing the review (and it has taken me far too long to do so! I got this machine back in November!), but I just wanted to thank the company for the excellent service I have had from them. I cannot praise the competence, knowledge and politeness of the staff at Ecoair enough.

I bought this to try out one of the bedrooms. I’ve had it three days. It’s a really great bit of kit. It’s quiet, very efficient, very effective. It’s quiet enough to sleep through. It really works, extracting over 8 litres of water from the air in 72 hrs. The power performance isn’t something I’ve got into yet, but the machine does have an energy efficient setting (it’s the quiet one too) and the controls can be set to keep the air at a specific humidity or lower. If you leave it on the energy efficient setting and at 50% RH the device is quiet, energy minimal and effective. The water tank has a nice cover to prevent spillage and a handle to help you carry it away, the tank holds over a litre and the machine has an auto off, with red indicator light, when the tank is full. The dehumidifier is about 30cm by 45cm by 15 cm in size (or so, give or take 50%) and has a washable filter to protect the fan and workings from fine dust. I’ve not worked out if the expelled air is effectively filtered but it does produce a nice stream of warm, dry air. I’m impressed.

I bought this as there were lots of good reviews. I feel it only fair to add my opinion to the mix.

I bought this dehumidifier as my house is an old terrace property. In the winter the condensation can be really bad.

My first impressions were that it is a well packaged device and the unit itself is very well made.

I have been using it for 4 weeks and so far so good. On economy mode it removes 3 or 4 liters of water during the day and so far i have almost no condensation. My windows used to be 100% covered now there is just a thin bead of moisture along the bottom of my windows.

The unit is quiet but I don’t think it is quiet enough to have in a room where you are trying to sleep.

I would happily recommend this to a friend.

We purchased the Ecoair DD122FW MK5 after we found moisture and damp building up in our new home (which is not so new – built 1926). Due to solid walls and lack of TLC in our home we have replaced floors after finding they were rotten (thank you to the surveyor – NOT) and put right what had been over the years put wrong!

We can now monitor the air Rh value using our recently purchased Thermometer/Hygrometer and in conjunction with the Ecoair dehumidifier have managed to stabilise the humidity. This unit works extremely well and is very quiet compared to other units on offer, the Laundry mode is an added bonus! The price, size and functions for this unit are just what we were looking for and worth every penny.

Highly recommend this unit – if you have a small 1920-1940 Bungalow where you have a build up of damp and condensation on your walls/windows, this unit will rid you of the spores and moisture, keeping your furniture/floors from either getting too wet or from drying out!

Unit arrived within a few days and very well packaged, comes complete with permanent drain hose (option on other units).

We recently moved into a period home and we really bad problems with condensation on windows. Some of them were so bad that there was mold growing on the actual glass -that’s right, the old owners just let it grow! The central heating was not enough to dry out the air so I decided to buy a dehumidifier and went for this one, because of the price, positive reviews and the fact that it’s quiet to operate.

I’ve had it for two days and I am very very happy with it. The condensation problem was solved overnight: the unit was literally on for the whole night and it in the morning the reservoir was almost full. Since then, it just turns itself on when it needs to (probably 1 hour in total a day) and no trace at all of humidity in the house.

On the low setting it’s not too noisy and you can easily sleep with it on, provided it’s not in the room where you are. On full power it’s quite noisy but I can’t see myself using it in that mode, except maybe when mopping floors.

I also think it looks quite nice, although my partner disagrees but then he’s always had strange tastes, except when he chose me, of course!

We got this dehumidifier to help make our basement flat less musky and we are amazed at how well it does the job!

It has loads of settings, two specifically for drying laundry which I use a lot as we don’t have a tumble dryer, as well as auto mode which stays on until the tank is full and 3 timer settings (2 hours, 4 hours and 8 hours I think) – and they are all really clearly marked on and easy to use. You can also adjust the fans to make it blow out dry air more widely or to sweep up and down.

The tank is really easy to empty and it’s clear from a light on the control panel when it needs to be done. It has a little handle and is easy to move around, it’s not too heavy at all. Makes the air really nice and clean and fresh smelling and the flat is noticeably less humid, it’s also pretty good looking for a dehumidifier and is not an eye sore at all. Can’t beleive we didn’t buy one sooner!

I had a Delonghi (DNC-65) model eco-frienddly dehumidifier which served me nearly five yrs and it failed due to problems with the fan. I guess these items are not easy to repair and no point in doing so after five yrs of service. So, I was looking for a replacement ecofriendly model which doesn’t have compressor and come across this eco-air make which is similar in look to my previous one. The item was ordered and delivered within 48 hrs,as always an impressive service from Amazon.

The Dehumidifier is very good lokking with neat finish and style and is very compact. The operation of the machine is very is easy, just plug and play through digital control. You don’t need the manual, in case it is required it is well written and detailed with pictures. I usually put it in Auto mode during daytime and at night switch to Low mode. The low mode is really quiet and doesn’t disturb your sleep in the bedrom (yes, its kept in my bedroom). Also, there is a nice blue antibacterial light which glow all the time and I’m not diturbed by this light. There is also an ioniser function which puries the air. The unit shut down automatically when the reservoir is full (2 litre capacity). So I can’t fault this machine in any aspects of its operation and its highly recommended.
