Quality dehumidifie
This dehumidifier is sturdy and really works. I use it to keep damp levels down in my bathroom and kitchen during the winter months. Have used it for 9 months now and it works like new. Easy to empty the tank also, which is important.
Use this to keep a big cellar dry. I found the continuous draining feature helpful as I don’t want to empty it all the time. It works well, but you need to tip it backwards ever so slightly in order to get it to drain out the continuous draining pipe properly.
It’s quiet and pulls lots of water out the air. The cellar was really damp and is now totally fine.
Extracting humidity well
It does the job, can’t say about energy efficiency yet.
It is fairly noisy to be in the room with , but we try to keep it on where we’re not.
Doesn’t take much space, but you need to keep it away from a wall- kind of in the middle of the room.
A must in London.
We’re satisfied customers.
he bes
dont know what i would do without this now i suffer with COPD and iv felt a lot better since this as been in my bedroom its on in the day time and its off at night the first day i used this i had 3 liters of water out of it,and now its like walking into fresh air as it also cleans the air worth every penny of my hard-earned money i recommend this
Wonderful machine
It’s been an amazing addition to the basement flat we live in. My bedroom which was cold and damp now feels much warmer and it helps dry our clothes much quicker too. It’s brilliant.
This is amazing! I shopped around before buying and so glad I purchased this. It is very low cost on electric and we use it in a two bed house in Portugal for 14 hours a day every day. It needs emptying every night! I’ve no idea where all the water comes from everyday because the climate here is very dry! Really impressed with this machine.
Good Produc
Great product I have been using this for health reasons. It’s compact and easy to empty on the dehumidifier. Depending on weather and heat it can fill 2.5 litres a night but it’s easily popped out and emptied. During that day it’s primarily set on the air purifier setting which leave the bedroom fresh.
Very pleased with this and the 3 year guarantee is excellent.
Has been working non-stop for a yea
My dehumidifier has had to work non-stop for over a year and is still going strong. Hopefully the house problem will be sorted soon and then the dehumidifier can have a rest. Very simple to use, just keep emptying the water container when full.
Best dehumidifier on the market that I have tried.
I have tried a lot of dehumidifiers and after several weeks of use I am confident this is one of the best on the market. It has a lot of features and can take a lot of water from the air. I like the Louvre motion feature which works great and the best money saving option is he ability to turn itself off when a certain level is achieved. It seems well built and easy to use too. Expensive but I’ve been through a few which really didn’t deliver what I thought.
If you want a straight de-humidifier which is great at removing large amounts moisture from the air, then this device is the one for you. However, I have a collection of guitars which need to be kept at a humidity of 45-55% and it can’t reliably bring the moisture content down within that range. My main problem is that once it has reduced the humidity to a given level, it switches off for 30 mins. Nothing wrong with that, but when it switches on again in order to sample the humidity, it only runs for 30 seconds before deciding whether or not it needs to start removing moisture. What I am often seeing is that 30 seconds is not long enough for it’s sensor read the actual current humidity. So it shuts down for another 30 minutes thinking that all is well. All too often the humidity has risen to higher level and needs to be reduced. If I switch it off and on again forcing it to resample the air, it then detects the correct humidity level and starts removing moisture. I have 4 humidity gauges in this room which all agree with each other. So I am confident about what the actual humidity is. The bottom line here is that I cannot trust this de-humidifier to control the humidity. I have to keep checking and intervene when necessary. Having said all that, when its running its great at removing moisture and would be fine for most people.
o more mold problems
Dehumidifies rooms very well and I no longer have mold problems.
It is quite loud even on low setting and makes annoying loud beep sounds whenever any buttons are pressed.
Noise is bearable if you place it on a soft base like yoga mat to reduce its vibration and prevent it from rattling.

Effective and easy to use
I’ve used this dehumidifier every few days for the past couple of months in an attic space to remove condensation. The unit is easy to operate and effective. Water collected is stored in an onboard container which can be removed for emptying. The unit is well built and relatively inexpensive to operate. Noise levels are not excessive and are similar to that produced by an electric fan or similar device.
Save time and just buy this one.
Captures an incredible amount of water from the air whilst also filtering out dust/dander.
We have it on constantly and move it between the rooms of our single level flat on its coasters.
We tried both a smaller dehumidifier and chemical dehumidifiers before we bought this and the difference is incredible.

I didn’t realise how much humidity you could remove from a small flat. We usually collect 4 litres per day. I have to empty the 3l container more than once every 24hrs. It’s simple to use: you turn it on. Boom. It’s slightly noisy, not horribly, but in some cases, maybe because of the position, the internal parts make a little more noise, so if you sleep with it in your room, you might get annoyed. Still, great quality, great results. We have a small 2 bedroom flat. We used to wake up with huge pools of water under the window. We still get the occasional residual condensation, but far less than before.
One of the best dehimidifie
We live in a flat where there is no room for a drier. We found this Which? Best Buy Meaco 20L LE dehumidifier very efficient for both the dehumidifying function and for drying the laundry. We usually put out the laundry before going out for shopping and turning on the Meaco 20L on full power so that any noise that it makes would be in our absence. By the time we return home the clothes are almost dry. We then turn the power to low for another couple of hours to remove the excess humidity from the flat. We do not turn it on at night, though the noise from the low power setting is quite bearable as it is sited in the hallway. Very pleased with its performance.
Quality dehumidifie
It seems to be a quality dehumidifier. It has a large tank that doesn’t need emptying much and when it does there is a convenient handle.
It has made a huge difference to the moisture level in my house and unlike the other dehumidifier I use downstairs it actually gets the humidity down to the 50% I have it set at and switches itself off.
It would be 5 stars but it is just a little too noisy. It is admittedly quiet for a dehumidifier, I don’t have to turn it off to sleep like my old one but it still produces a significant amount of noise.
Excellent dehumidifie
Does exactly what we were looking for, has helped dry out our 2 bed bungalow. Sound wise we leave it in the hallway and it does not keep us awake at night, sounds like a desk fan. Very easy to use, it’s often quite concerning how much water we often have to tip down the sink!

Best humidifier by fa
Only down side I’d say for this unit but it is being a little picky is the second fan speed doesn’t really make that much difference to be honest! But overall much quieter than a Ebac I still use. Unit is put together better and I’d recommend these humidifier’s. One tip I’d give also apparently you get a three year guarantee if bought directly from the supplier.
I bought the Meaco 20L Dehumidifier in October 2017 and can honestly say, it is absolutely fantastic. It instantly eradicated the condensation, damp and black mould that had plagued my home. I don’t often write reviews but felt I had to for this product. I only left it so long because (being a natural sceptic) I wanted to be certain it continued to perform well, and it has.
First of all – I cannot compare this with other dehumidifiers as I haven’t used one before. What I can say is that I was suffering from serious condensation in my new house. Condensation was apparent on all windows pretty much all day long. I hadn’t realised as I don’t use the guest room particularly often but the condensation was so bad that the paint on the inner wall by one window had bubbled and there was black and orange mould. I had cleaned the area with bleach but this returned within a couple of days prompting the purchase of the dehumidifier. It was really easy to set up, pretty much plug in and go. I have mine at a lower humidity initially because of the severity of the condensation and was not disappointed. I plugged the machine in at about 16:00 hrs and I could see a noticeable difference in the amount of condensation in about 4 hours although still present. However the next morning I was pleased to see that there was absolutely no condensation – the first time since the summer. The wall that felt damp previously now feels a lot drier as well. With regards to the noise – I can hear the fan running on the landing when sat downstairs but it’s not overly intrusive and to be honest it’s a lot better that having condensation and mould. One point I would mention is that the intake vent is at the rear of the machine and the instructions state this should be at least 50 cm away from the wall – this isn’t particularly convenient where there is limited space such as in my case when it is on the landing. I’ve solved this by turning the unit round so the front faces the wall but means the control panel is upside down – niggly but a minor issue. Overall I am really impressed with this purchase despite only having used it for a couple of days.

Best money spent this year!
I have bought this dehumidifier a few months back now and I can really say it is a life changer!
Usually at this time of year I would have been on my knees cleaning walls because of moald… Not one trace of it this year.
We live in a 3 bedroom top floor flat and Meaco is plugged in the hallway so it is central and gets humidity from all the rooms. It isn’t noisy at all. I never thought it would male such a difference.
A good buy
Very quiet and it work perfectly well in a small 3 bed house.I have no more condensation on the windows.It has solved the damp wall in the bedroom.I have empty the container a few times with out any problem so simple to use.

Our house seemed to be always cold and damp, with constant condensation on the inner windows, with this mould started to grow. We purchased this product with the filters at a hefty 290.00. I can honestly say it was been worth every single penny. Upstairs in our home is completely clear of condensation and it feels so much warmer, it even speeds up the drying of clothes we hang up. We empty once a day and everyday it collects a massive 15-20 litres.
The fact that you’re reading this means you think you need one. Spend the extra and get this one, I guarantee you’ll be thrilled with it within a day.
I paid for the filters too which help with asthma and hayfever in the summer, definitely worth doing I reckon.

Worth the money
It is worth the money. We have quite big two bedroom flat and it does the job. It collects a lot of water and it helps drying our laundry. Also our flat was quite cold before but now even when is cold and wet outside it’s very worm inside and the heating doesn’t have to be on for long time either.
I was worried that it might be very noisy but actually it’s ok. We have a small baby and it is like a white noise:)
We are very happy with it and we would recommend it to everyone.
Powerful and quie
We only “discovered” dehumidifiers by accident, while trying to sort out heating problems and noticing relative humidity measures which we’d not considered before on some thermometers. The utility of a debumidifier will really depend on the intended application.
Investigation suggested that these might help for clothes drying and keep moisture down. Also if a room is used for ironing, then removing moisture may be helpful. These could also be useful for rooms or houses which have been flooded – though that’s a bit extreme, and it would make sense to get most of the water out first.
This Meaco unit is very good in a utility room for extracting moisture, and it’s probably cheaper than using a heater. It’s reasonably quiet. It extracted 1.6 litres of water from our utility room in under 24 hours, so clearly works. It is also effective at removing moisture from a shower room, though we probably wouldn’t normally want to do that..
It is small enough, and can be moved around fairly easily with a handle and wheels. It may be too large for some applications – that’s personal preference. For drying out a small cupboard or wardrobe it would probably be too large. It comes with a HEPA filter which we’ve not tested, and may be a great help to some people who are susceptible to allergens.
If some areas have a relative humidity of over 60% this unit should be able to reduce the RH significantly. However, if the ambient RH is 50% which is comfortable for most people, it will probably be hard to get the RH a lot lower than that.
It’s not particularly cheap, so it may be worth checking that there really is a problem to fix before buying. Check out moisture levels with hygrometers. For clothes drying this is brilliant.
Overall based on experience so far – a great product.
This machine indeed does what is meant for. Simple operations, looks small (it is up to 3 bedrooms) but don’t be tricked. Use the hepa filter for air purification is an added value. When buy it is provided with one. I really felt the difference when starting using it. The thermostat is not energised every 2 or 3 hours. The initial percentage of humidity was 78! After 3 days now the average stays between 55-60%. No water in the doors nothing sort of mould or freezing inside the house. Best buy, I did for my health and my family.
Effective but noisy
This works really well and has already signicantly decreased the condensation we used to experience on our windows in the mornings. My plan was to site it on the landing so we wouldn’t have to see it in a main living area. Unfortunately we find it really noisy, so my workaround is to site it in the lounge at 55% setting where it doesn’t come on much during the day, then reduce to 50% at night where it seems to be on all night, but we can’t hear it.

Excellent product. Bought on the basis of it being a which Best Buy and not disappointed. Had issues in the house with condensation and damp and despite this product not tackling the route cause on all cases. It most certainly helps in resolving the issue. Condensation on windows noticeably reduces when this is on.
The best thing is that you see the proof of how well it works when you empty the water holder and see just how much moisture has been removed from the air in the house.
It’s great in assisting with the drying of laundry too. Genuinely very impressed with this item and glad I spent the extra money to get a top end product. Only quibble is it can be quite load if left on through a night – sounds similar to a desktop fan for conparison. Regardless, hardly enough to mark this product down as having seen a few different units in friends houses this is certainly quieter than those.
Does its job in a 40 square meters apartment where I can’t really open the windows (just 10cm, and they overlook a highway, so…DUST and POLLUTION). Sure, a bit noisy if you want to sleep with it in the bedroom, but I use it when I am home and awake. In the morning I don’t wake up with the feeling of dust in the throat (I am quite sensitive about this), and by the end of the week, when chores-time comes up, I notice less dust on surfaces of the house. And it really keeps humidity at the right level: on humid days, the tank fills quickly, and you can feel the difference (besides reading the percentage of humidity on the dehumidifier).
The tank is not very big, that this makes it easier to empy it, with respect to bigger models I had in past.
love this product I have 2 smaller units from another supplier but they don’t have the capacity necessary to keep the bedroom dry. So I bought this larger unit and its perfect, in particular I like that it is working based on the dampness in the air so switches itself off when the room is dry. It is too noisy to leave on at night for us so we switch on in the morning, it also gives out quite a bit of heat when it is working but that’s not a problem. The unit comes with a HEPA filter and we also bought another 3. When out bedroom was really damp particularly in the winter you could smell the mould so we wanted the filters to collect the spores. I highly recommend this product.

impressed with the extraction powe
ot very noisy and impressed with the amount of water it extracts every day. It heats up the room as well thereby reducing the need to turn on the radiator. However it did not get rid of the damp patches and the mould on the wall despite positioning it near them. In other words, if you have a damp room, using this dehumidifier is better than doing nothing, but don’t expect it to solve the problem.

Excelle
It operates quietly and is able to reduce the humidity and improve the quality of air as promised. I measured the quality of air, and it reduces harmful dust significantly (20%-90% depending on the type of dust). It comes with a free HEPA filter, that is very important. I am happy with the purchase.
Brilliant Dehumidifie
This dehumidifier made a significant difference to the moisture in our apartment. Highly recommend. Works really well to reduce humidity and suck up water – we clear the water dispenser once a day! Helps laundry dry much faster too.

Outstanding dehumidifier! Takes so much water out of the air, it’s unbelievable!
We had serious damp problems, but now between a new roof and this dehumidifier, they’re all sorted. Small/light enough to move if necessary (I keep it upstairs during the day and downstairs at night), this is a really good choice. Expensive, but well worth the investment. A little noisy, but not excessively so (the fact that it’s on a different floor at day/night makes a huge difference).
Easy to clean, too – just vac the air filter from the outside every couple of weeks!
Thoroughly recommended.
Does good job, the moisture and condensation in our house is significantly less, and the feeling inside the house is better now, but this also depends on the percentage of moisture that you set the humidistat-we have it at 55-60%. It makes some noise but you quickly get used to it and the wet days the box gets soon full of water, but it’s easy to empty it and put it back in place. Easy to use, the instruction leaflet is very accurate. Also, it does good job with laundry, helps with drying the clothes. Much better comparing with another similar dehumidifier that the bought.
Bought as a Christmas present for my son but I had to use it in my house for a few weeks as my dehumidifier had broken. Excellent, wish I’d bought another for myself instead of paying to have my old one fixed as its much much better. I’ve used a dehumidifier for over 30 years my first lasted most of those years and the broke, I replaced it with another cheaper one (70 ish) that broke after about 3 years use, I had it fixed for 40, wish Id bought another of these instead.
Briallint for baseme
Have had this for over a year, and this continues to extract a surprisingly large amount of water when it’s not cold outside (we have this in our basement).
We now can’t live without this as, when it’s warm outsider, even not running this for a day results in damp smells returning. However, with it on the smell and damp is non existent.
Fantastic!
Wow! We’re so impressed with this! It’s helped our house through such a very long cold/damp/wet winter. Even helped the washing dry quicker … amazing! We would put it on the landing in the morning after everyone was up and out of bed, incredible what the air is like in the morning. (We live in a large 3 bedroom Victorian house) My parents bought one after borrowing ours, as they were having their lounge re-plastered. It dried in half the time … they ended up buying one! It’s definitely a must for all homes 😉
you wouldn't believe how much moisture this thing sucks out of the ai
you wouldn’t believe how much moisture this thing sucks out of the air. Washing dries in a day, easily, even towels. Seems to circulate the air quite well too. Haven’t yet had a chance to evaluate the cost of running it, but for drying washing or removing bathroom condensation etc, running it for short periods does the trick.
Excellent dehumidifie
I did tons of research on this Dehumidifier and its paid off, im so pleased with it, its transformed what was a very damp room with lots of condensation at times into a space that is warmer (less water vapour in the air) and dryer as the windows in our bedroom soon clear with this run for an hour or so in the morning. The ability to set this running on a timer is great and saves a great deal on running costs.
A great purchase!
basically like a fa
This has been a life saver! There is no ventilation in our bathroom, so all that humidity spreads all-over the house and makes it cold and unpleasant. We have it on 24 hours a day, moving it from the bedroom at night. It is very quiet on a carpet floor, basically like a fan. We can sleep with it on in a living room. It leaves the air very fresh and crisp. I definitely would recommend it, probably to everyone in the UK who loves in old houses/cottages. It really does not take much of electricity, we have storage heaters so we keep a close eye on our energy consumption and running it does not even add up to a 1 a day. Well worth it.
Very quiet and efficient. Dries washing well.
Bit of a nuisance emptying the water- could do with fewer holes in lid so it didn’t spill but the water is great for ironing/plants etc.
Would be nice to have a setting to warm the air further as air from it can seem like a cold draft.
Good quality and easy to operate. Timer function useful.
Four Stars
I use it all winter and couldnt do without i
We are living in rented property which over the years is in need of modernisation, but this won’t happen… so some rooms were suffering from some damp and black mould, especially under the windows and in some corners.
We were almost at the stage of moving house because of this problem as we did not wish to live in a damp house….. we actually went to view some properties, but then we found this on Amazon and decided to give it a try instead… we figured the cost of this would be smaller than the cost of moving.
We cleaned all the mould away and installed the dehumidifier, and left it on 24/7.
That was 2 months ago, and now we have no damp, no mould and a much warmer, dryer home.
I would recommend this to anyone, it’s probably one of the best purchases i have ever made.
What is also fantastic about this machine, apart from the fact that it is cheap to run…is the fact that if you hang your laundry up to dry straight from the washing machine then it will dry overnight as the dehumidifier will suck all the water from it..saving on the cost of running your dryer… this will eventually cover the cost of buying the machine.
It isn’t light to carry upstairs, but you can if you have some strength… i can do it and i’m a lady of 60. It does have wheels for moving it from room to room though.
The noise is a soft whirr and it doesn’t stop me from sleeping or watching tv… in fact i don’t even notice it now.
My whole home feels so much nicer now and in the cold weather i can leave the windows tightly closed, saving money, and not get condensation on them.
Highly recommend.
have had several dehumidifiers over many years, and this is by far the best. Amazing how much water it collects, and quickly, and the digital display of the rooms humidity is very helpful.
Particularly good when washing is drying inside, (main cause of condensation and mold in most homes), no condensation issues now!
Expensive, but a good example of you get what you pay for. Low electricity use, we have it on most days somewhere in the house and it hasn’t changed electricity usage.
Also very useful for caravans/ motorhomes.
Great buy
My ground floor apartment does suffer from condensation. Since buying this dehumidifier I have reduced from 75% to 55% very quickly. They have made no difference to my electricity bill and I’m very pleased with it.

This a fantastic item it has stopped all condensation in our flat i would highly recommend to anybody who needs one you cant hear it, also it has stopped any mould growing cheap to run only three pence a day but it does switch it self off when not required and back on when the humidity gets higher than the setting you have programmed easy to use fantastic produc
It works as it should, but I would probably try to go for a more powerful one for my 1 bedroom flat.
Faster dehumidifier would make you use it less, not 24/7.
Those 12L are quite misleading (as those are in most of the Dehumidifiers, not just this one) as it’s frustrating to see how you can only get the tank full once a day, being this one around 2L. To get those 12L, you need 80% humidity and warm temperatures, but I need it for winter primarily because of the condensation.
About Low Energy, I trust the specifications, and it’s lower than others, which is the reason why I decided to get this one, and it makes me happy to think I pay less to have it running 24/7, even if it’s just placebo.
About the noise, I thought it will be annoying, as of course you will hear it all the time. But you get used to the white noise and you can be watching TV without noticing it’s working next to you. Although I prefer to have it running on a different room, and not listen to it at all!
A bit better performance with cold conditions will be appreciated, but it resolved my condensation problems, so won’t complain.

This is a great domestic dehumidifier it’s just slightly bigger than your average aeroplane hand luggage so not a silly little useless product but a serious bit of kit that is very effective. Easy to set up, the fan has 2 speeds which seem quite loud at first but you do come accustomed to, plenty of different settings for humidity or laundry drying and a good sized easy to remove tank. The first few days of use was running constantly and needed frequent emptying but now cuts on and off automatically and emptying weekly. No more condensation on windows or walls. Overall very impressed with this product.
Good purchase
Good purchase.
It’s nothing short of remarkable how much airborne moisture this collects, and it does an incredible job of speeding up the drying of the washing.
In terms of noise level, I would probably say it is comparable to an air con unit, and whether this would disturb you or not is really down to the individual.
Lastly, it is easy to use, empty, and easy enough to carry thanks to the integrated swivel handle.

Damp Buste
Great unit may look like the love child of R2D2 and a paper shredder but neat tidy and pretty quiet, just a mild fan noise.
It works great at sucking the moisture from the air. It has stopped the winter condensation on the windows and put a halt to the areas of mold we were getting. In the winter with damp towels hanging around, tumble dryer, cooking, ironing and people breathing to raise the humidity level this little unit is a godsend and we will never be without one again.

We searched hard for a dehumidifier for our garden room that has an indoor hot tub. A hard task to keep this sort of room dry but it does the job. Once we have left the room it clears up all the damp. We leave it on 55 setting and it switches on when necessary. Windows are clear and no damp in the room. It’s not noisy. It has a kind of soft blower sound which doesn’t bother us in this room type. It wouldn’t be too noisy for utility rooms also. It would sound like a standard fan in an occupied room. You can direct the blower vent angle. We point it at the windows which helps clear steamy windows further. In a utility too you could point it at clothes drying. It’s not too large and can be tucked out of the way of most rooms.
I don’t really see how it could be and smaller or quieter for what it does.
It’s all we hoped and probably a bit more.

I use it mainly for help with drying laundry and its brilliant I love it. It helps dry all my laundry very quickly especially my French Metis sheets which I use throughout the winter. I can’t tumble dry these as they just ball up and quite frankly its a waste of money and energy trying to dry them this way.
As the instructions did not say if it needed to settle before switching on (like a fridge or freezer), I asked the Amazon community but got conflicting replies so I just switched it on and it worked perfectly. The instructions are easy and simple to use. I’m truly amazed at the amount of water it collects, I use this to water my plants, not sure if this will kill them or not but we’ll see :). It is a bit noisy when high speed fan is working and I don’t think I could sleep with it but low speed fan is much quieter. My only regret is that I didn’t purchase this sooner. It is more expensive than others on the market but it appears to justify its ‘Which’ best buy status.
Great product, Removes 12 litres of water every day, no wonder I had a mould problem. It is quite loud but I just move it at night. My smart meter also shows very low energy being used. So I am very pleased with i
Take the plunge now and get it. (if you have condensation problems)
My one bedroom flat suffers from condensation and as a result causes mold/mildew in the winter months, finally took a punt for this dehumidifier due to the low energy aspects of it and it has already removed bucket loads of water from the air, should of bought this sooner and as a side benefit dries the laundry faster. So happy with this.

A life changing product for our 2 bed apartment. Reduced humidity from 60-70% to 50-55% over a weekend (we use it only for 8-10h/day). It’s much warmer now so we can save on heating. In addition we have noticed that there is less dust around the home since we have it. Also great for drying laundry when it’s raining outside.
Worth every penny, i live in a bungalow which is plagued with black mold on ceiling lines especially in the bathroom despite ventilation. We cleaned it all off with black mold remover prior to buying this and not one spec has returned. We bought an Hygrometer just to see what the reading was before switching the Meaco on and it went off the scale, 2 weeks later with this running and we are in the comfort zone. The amount of water this thing pulls out of the air in the first few weeks is shocking and the difference it makes is amazing, no more mold, no more coughing and the heating rarely turns on now the cold damp air has gone which i`m sure will save more money in the long run.
So impressed with the results my neighbor has now bought one too, he suffers from COPD and say`s the results after a few weeks are truly miraculous.

Researched and found this selling in John Lewis
Went on amazon and saved a little.
Fantastic product very quiet and super efficient
Don’t wast your money on the cheaper options like have before this purchase
We have had our 12L Meaco for 2 years, so plenty of time to get used to it. We have a small 2 bedroom flat, and run it almost constantly in the winter, and quite a bit during the summer. We keep it in the kitchen most of the time, on anti-vibration pads (cost about 2). We have a drying rack in the kitchen, and overnight it will dry a load of laundry from the automatic washing machine, which is excellent, particularly in winter. We probably empty the tank once a day. It makes more noise when full (you can hear the difference) but the noise is not that obtrusive most of the time. I wouldn’t want to sleep in the same room with it on. Overall we are very pleased. It’s great to live in a dry atmosphere – it will bring the whole flat down to about 55% quite easily. We’re not sure about the running costs, but it must be cheaper to heat dry air. Our electricity costs have not gone up since we started using it.
We live in a 3 bed terrace which despite having double glazing with air vents, we continually have extreme condensation on the windows and our fitted wardrobe (I blame cavity wall insulation) and have had to use bathroom anti mould paint on all external walls to stop black mould. I’ve tried little electric dehumidifiers which haven’t really done a great deal so was a little undecided about making an expensive purchase of it wasn’t going to work but decided to take the bull by the horns.
I did a lot of research, having been involved with Ikea’s Live Lagom sustainability project earlier this year and being conscious of running costs I knew I needed to look at running costs as well as performance. The Meaco 12l Platinum dehumidifier ticked all the boxes so I placed my order.
Unpacked from box, put on landing and switched it on. If I was to tell you that it has only been running for approx 17 hours and has already pulled THREE LITRES of water you might be sat thinking ‘Yeah right’ but honestly it has!!! For the first time in I don’t know how long our windows aren’t full of condensation when I’ve woken up.
I’m amazed. I’m astounded. I’m thrilled.

Very efficient dehumidifie
This dehumidifier is proving to be incredibly efficient at reducing moisture in my house. Humidity levels have fallen by more than 20% over the past few days of continuous use and the air feels much better. The amount of water it collects has been a real surprise. Would highly recommend

Brilliant. We have a 2 bed house and it is the perfect size. Quite quiet compared to other ones we’ve had. Great for seeing the washing too. I like that it has a timer and you can set the humidity and when it reaches that it shuts off. Very cheap to run too.

Neato Meaco
This is a brilliant little dehumidifier. Pulls lots of water out of the air. Helos keep my rather old property dryer than it otherwise would be. Doesn’t use too much electricity too. One of the more economical to run dehumidifiers out there. Worth every penny.

Great Meaco Dehumidifier.
This is a great dehumidifier for a two bed flat.
Very low energy consumption. It has been working a month without stopping and has made the temperature and the environment much better.
Would recommend for flats that have issues with mould.
This is great it ticks all the boxes for me low power ...
This is great it ticks all the boxes for me low power usage plus low noise and it has 2 filters One normal and Hepa Filter. Tank fills up fast is the only downside but then you want it to do its job. Good Product.

We’re stunned with how much water it pulls out of the air, and how it makes a real difference to condensation – and damp patches have disappeared in only 4 days which will mean no mould, no coughing and allergies, and no need to replaster and repaint frequently.
Is it noisy? It’s as noisy as a fan on medium which isn’t quiet, but switches itself off for most of the day as if finishes its job so quickly, and when switched off it’s completely silent (duh)
A friend says that she now sets her thermostat to a lower temperature, because the drier air doesn’t feel chilly any more. As we only turn the heating on when we feel chilly, we’re going to save on heating costs for this reason alone!
Now to get one for my parents – their living room gets foggy in cold weather!

... completely dry and the musty smell gone A really good buy I will keep the humidity down to around ...
I brought this dehumidifier as I noticed a small damp patch on the wall of the spare bedroom and I also noticed a musty smell hen walking into the room
When we first put the dehumidifier on the room was 96% humidity with in 12 hours and emptying the tank twice the humidity was down to 70% after a couple of days it was down to 55% the wall was completely dry and the musty smell gone
A really good buy I will keep the humidity down to around 55% in all the rooms of the house now so no more damp walls or musty smells
First week of use so far is great.
In my flat, at around 21C temperature, it produces up to 1L per 4 hours which is great, after only couple evenings of use, I can notice that the windows in the morning are not foggy and I can close the wardrobe-cabinet doors properly without struggle.
I will update my review after a longer use regarding molds and product reliability. 🙂
This is a great product. I have a 4ft marine tank which gives off a lot of moisture. I already had the 12L version but it’s collecting pan is small and needed emptying twice a day. This one only needs emptying once a day and its not much larger size wise.
second one we have bought, pleased with the product; our first one did go wrong but it was fixed under warrantee & returned fine.
reason we ‘spend more’ on this model is you can attach a piece of pipe (we use hose pipe) and leave it running without having to empty a tray all the time; other models ‘may’ do this but when spending quite a bit of time searching, this was the only model we could see that clearly did this.
would recommend others to buy
Good product but random "automatic" controls
Good product, works well & quietly but the user interface/controls are a bit random. You can set the unit up to dehumidify it it reaches a certain humidity %, but this doesn’t always seem to work – sometimes it doesn’t kick in when it reaches that level, other times it kicks in well beow that level.
Also the instructions are poor – especially about how to connect this up for constant drainage – so I’m not exactly sure how to plumb this in for constant water removal.

This is a great product. It makes clothes drying so much easie
This is a great product. It makes clothes drying so much easier, especially in winter. Clothes are cupboard ready overnight.
Pros:
Good capacity.
Cons:
A bit loud. But not too much that you can hear it through a doo
I had mold problem in rented 2 bedroom house, black spots on walls behind furniture and on ceiling, and it’s hard to scrub it off, what’s more disappointing is that paint peeling off. Before I had 80% humidity in house on normal day and it took couple of weeks to get it to 50%. Machine was working 24/7, every other day in another room. Now I keep it mostly in the kitchen and in room where laundry drying. Machine is quiet, economical and its draws moisture out of air as its say in manual. Worth every penny.

Love, love, love this. Not only has it stopped the condensation issue in our home but air quality is a lot nicer. Also, hardly had to put central heating on all winter because this pumps out warm air. Did I mention that I love it?
