Fantastic item, we where suffering from really bad mould in our flat and after getting the mould cleaned and buying this dehumidifier we have not had any signs of mould for the last month. Previous we where cleaning the mould weekly! Love the options off all the settings such as drying washing, auto just makes life much easier.

This unit has taken my 3 bed detached house from 80% to 51% humidity in 24 hours. I didn’t know I needed a humidifier until I did some research and after 18 hours I woke up to a more comfortable very fresh smelling house. It’s a great unit, trust me!
I love this! I live in a flat and it will dry a full load of washing in 5 or so hours.
The ‘problem room’ was the bedroom and this keeps the humidity between 40 and 50 percent easily.
Easy to use and empty, can be left running as it switches off when full, once humidity is in check can be left running on low with minimal emptying, approx every 18 hours.
Not silent, it does have fans pushing air and noise level is similar to a large floorstanding fan.
Got a desiccant dehumidifier due to it having to go into our basemant that can get very cold. It works perfectly been running it for 2 hours a day after a show on the eco setting and it has kept the humidity down to 60-70% compared to the 80-90% it was. Mold growth has all but stopped.

I have a slightly older version (DD122) that does not have the ability to run for 2/4/8 hours and then switch itself off, so I bought this based on my other by the same manufacturer, EcoAir. Its just as good at dehumidifying but obviously better now it can be timed so I can leave this running when not in the house. Would recommend these as the other is still going strong and it must be two-three years old, and this looks and feels as well built.
Not too noisy in my opinion and very reasonably priced. Great at drying washing and reducing condensation/humidity, especially after a shower in winter when the windows aren’t open.
I did a bit of research and suggest you do the same to see if this best suits your needs, though I would go for this over the DD122 if you plan on leaving it running.
Removes damp and moisture efficiently, even in a fairly large space.
I think it’s a bit quieter than my last ecoair machine, DD322 Classic, when it is on the 1st setting. This is what I use overnight and it is certainly more compact, which I like. It’s very powerful at extracting moisture so very happy with that also. Only downside is that it has a small water collection tank, so be prepared to empty it regularly, however it does have continuous draining facility which I don’t use because I have it on the landing. Very happy with the machine.
The point is, I’m impressed with the performance, having thought it might struggle in a larger space. It also feels warmer too so I’ve had to turn the heating down. (Although I thought the higher the humidity the warmer it felt, that does not seem true in real life)

I cannot believe how well this dehumidifier performs!!!
Would highly recommend it.
have been running this beast for several hours a day during the winter. Has worked well so far.
Controls a not the most intuitive and I wish the humidistat were more configurable.
I did encounter the smell that most other reviewers mention, but only occasionally. I believe you need to allow ventilation during runs to get fresh air in (like an AC) or you’re just recirculating stale air.

I have it 2 years. I had the it’s small brother too, but it failed after some months.
This one is effective, with low noise at low speed and annoying noise at high speed. Low speed is for maintaining, once the desired level has been reached, for drying clothes high speed is necessary.
Overall it is well made. The water tank should be a little bigger, not much but a little more is necessary.
Two minor flaws I noticed. Some units dispose a place for winding up the cable, but not this one.
The water tank should have a small hole in its corner to facilitate the water draining instead of opening its plastic cover every time. It is simple.
Back then it was the best choice. Now I compare it with a brand new Delonghi side by side, it has obviously started to show its age.
It is really worth the price. If I would buy another one I could not think twice. Is very efficient and economic. Very easy to use.
Very easy to setup and use. Very efficient, dried my laundry in no time
Before using for the first time the humidity was around 80%. After using on the high setting it came down to 50% within a few hours, I then put it on the auto setting and it keeps a constant humidity level. I left it running constantly, turned off overnight, for a few days, now I only put in only when I get home in the evening and turn off at bed time and that is doing a great job for now. I have a temp/humidity reader in the house so just keep an eye on that to see if it needs to be on more.
Another advantage of a desiccant humidifier is that it warms up the air temp so the room/house feels far more comfortable and you need less heat, the refrigerant humidifier actually gives out cool air. Also, because it has the air ioniser the air feels noticeably fresher; it really makes a big difference to air quality. If you live in a country with high humidity levels (where I live it rains a lot) but with low air temps/cold house, then you really need a desiccant humidifier. The refrigerant kind is really only for people who live in high humidity/high air temp countries.
Extremely happy with this product.

Destroyed my damp problem. Also cut down on dust making housework easy.
Please with this dehumidifier. Draws dampness out of the air very well. The laundry mode worked well in the utility room, I was able to iron the washing on the same day. Quiet mode has a low sound too.
One bedroom two floors and is excellent.After first 1,5 hour of working in water tank were 1000 ml of water .It could be a bit quieter.Laundry mode do job as should.5/5 stars,worth the money

Arrived quickly, easy to setup and use. Pulled so much water out of atmosphere it really shows what is in your home. Now anything that create steamy windows I put the Dehumidifier on and can see a big difference
Excellent product. Works wonderfully, it’s amazing how much water it pulls out of the air in your home. Only quibble I ordered a Grey light and got a Blue one. But I really couldn’t be bothered going through the hassle of returning it.
It’s great, does the job and on the low setting it is quiet. Looks good for a dehumidifier as well.
A really good product,does everything it says it does.Improved air quality as well as absorbing tank after tank of water.Worth every penny.
Really pleased with this product. Have used it for a few weeks now on our boat. It has taken the moisture out of the boat and even dried my washing whilst left on overnight on the lowest setting. I cannot fault this. The first few times it gives off a new smell which wears off. The first few nights the container was full of water it has now reduced to half so it is reducing moisture in the air it’s doing what we wanted.

Excellent de-humidifier. I bought it after doing some research as I found that desiccant de-humidifiers are the best for the climate in Ireland. I am not disappointed with my choice. I use it after I washed clothes and also once a week in the bedroom with wardrobe doors open. Good for improving air quality in the apartment and I have less mold built up since using it.

I had a lot of condensation in my conservatory. This solved the problem.
Replaced my old X-Dry and does not disappoint. Would not be without one.
I’ve had this about 3 months now. It’s pretty quiet and does what it says. All in all I am pleased with it. My last dehumid had this humidity level adjustment and the humidity sensor went after about a year. No worries with that on this one.
Still going and working on, this is excellent for drying clothes and sucks a serious amount of water from the ai
Currently on 24 hours a day to keep humidity at 50 Pct at a 5 bedroom villa in Algarve, Portugal and working highly effectively. Very pleased with the purchase.
his unit drags so much water out of the atmosphere it 5* plus , great dehumidifie
Works. There is a smell as others have said, not yet subsided over a week of use. Noisier than expected, generally has to go off over night as used in bedroom. Has dried out the room, bad problem with cold walls in extension, 3 exposed plus no heating in room below the bedroom. Happy happy. If your thinking about getting a dehumidifier get one, just do it.
I have no issue with noise, there is the whiff that most people mention and the design of the water tank could be better, think tupperware with ill-fitting lid with a handle. No idea about longevity but I’m happy with the DD128 so fa

I decided to buy this as an additional one because of its air purifier and ion function.
Straight out of the box I was impressed by the extra functions this unit offers.
The motorised louvre on the top is a nice extra and many extra settings this offers over the other unit are most welcome.
It dehumidifies very well and I like the auto function that does what’s necessary as required!
Laundry drying functions with boost and low power settings are great!
My older unit is still going strong with no problems so I think this brand is a reliable one.
Very effective
Light
Not heavy
Timer
Bad sides:
None
It can be set to push out warmer air in certain modes (laundry for instance), but even in general operation it’s taken away most of the need for heating in our spare room and hallway. It can be pretty quiet. It would be nice to make it easier to see the water container, as it’s hard to see how full it is, and a bit fiddly to empty. But otherwise can’t fault it.
I’m glad I spent the extra now, having sent back two smaller cheaper units that just didn’t do the job.
Highly recommended. But note, the box says “This Way Up”, courier delivered the first one of these upside down, and the unit didn’t work at all. Second unit has been perfect, but just be wary of this – not a negative for the product, but worth knowing about.
Pros:
– good extraction rate, especially in laundry mode (feels more powerful than the Meaco)
– various useful modes, timer function
– filter / ioniser
– light (much lighter than the Meaco) / easy to use carry handle
– relatively slim
Cons:
– Gets hot and emits warm air (especially in laundry mode), and moreso than the Meaco
– Feels slightly louder than the Meaco
– No digital humidistat
– Timer only in increments of 2/4/8
– Cable could be longer but probably standard
Overall:
– Overall happy with the product and most of the pros / cons probably down to being dessicant vs compressor, although the main complaint is heat.
Would give 4.5 if possible, and 5 if less hot.
What can I say – this is a fantastic dehumidifier. Small, quiet (when on the low setting) and has pulled litres upon litres out of what was once a very humid and damp studio flat. Air quality is also fantastic now due to built in Air Ioniser. Can’t recommend this product enough – a must buy for keeping humid and damp conditions at bay.

The price is about right for this sort of item.
It works really well in winter. We use it in our conservatory to dry our clothes but also use it to clean the air in the house.
Electricity usage did go up slightly but that was with everyday use – so I would think using a tumble drier would use slightly more, as you wouldn’t be able to dry as much clothes.
Sleek looking and has nice face on the top. Has many options which is great,
Has and automatic switch off, when the water component is full.
No complaints and would highly recommend.
Works well. Very compact and looks good. Fixed the manky air in the conservatory caused by the woman continually ignoring my request not to put washing in there and making it all mouldy.
We had a bad condensation problem in our bathroom. The machine has an auto setting and for the first few days it was on full. We must have been emptying at least four litres a day of water out of it. Now it hardly ever comes on and the condensation problem has totally gone.
It makes about the same amount of noise as a desk fan. You could sleep with it on in the room

Amazing dehumidifier. Fairly quiet. Tank always full by the end of the day. Highly recommended.
Removes a full tank of water from the air in around 6-8 hours. Well built and easy to use.
works well would recommend, the smell other’s have commented on isn’t that bad and does improve. We use it mainly in out bedroom/ensuite and it works well. Can reduce humidity level prior to going to bed so rarely need to leave it on overnight but if do need to it’s quite quiet, you can hear it but have no problems sleeping with it on. Easy to control and also easy to empty tank.
Really silent and has a high rate of water collection. The only downside is that the water container has no spout and makes it hard to pour water inanother container should it be required.
Quiet, compact and after initial use does not smell at all.
I have been using this several times a week and cannot get over how much water it can pull out of the air. We used to have major condensation and black mould issues but this machine has sorted that out for us and the hubby has said this is the best investment we have made this year.
Highly recommend this machine as the pros outweigh the initial cost and it’s not to expensive to run either.
Its only been a couple weeks so no advice on reliability. However its amazing how much water the unit collects in the few hours its run each day. It has certainly reduced the condensation we would normally expect.
I bought this for our new house as we were starting to get a lot of condensation and was worried about mold. Every few days I put this on a four hour timer when I leave for work and all the condensation has vanished. It takes about four, four hour sessions for the tank to fill up. I’ve also used it once to dry clothes overnight, clothes were dry in the morning, however this setting is very loud!
It looks quite good for a dehumidifier and is not too large.
Overall very pleased!
Great and usefully better mould and damp away clean air up dry better and good sleep well
I have noticed a few reviews mentioning the water container leaking or spilling when emptying I have’t found this at all, just make sure you put it on a flat surface and empty it frequently.
I could have probably managed with the smaller unit in the range but as this was out of stock at the time went for this one and haven’t regretted it at all.
Very happy with the product, bought it because we started getting mildew around the house, I never knew we had so much water in the air!
First time it ran for a couple of hours, it collected 2l of water, and used in conjunction with a humidity meter, we are far more aware of high humidity to eliminate dampness.
Usually use on a 2hour setting, and run periodically. You can certainly tell the difference in the air when it has been on. Can also be set to run on 4hr/8hr timer too. Other options whether on eco mode, and other power settings.
Not used for drying clothes in its vicinity, but has as an option.
Easy to move around with the handle to life the whole unit – only criticism is that the water container a bit fiddly to empty to put lid off/on, and then re-insert back into the unit.
This collects 2-4 litres/day from our son’s bedroom (which has 3 outside walls). The walls which previously would run with condensation are now completely dry (although a mild winter so far). I’ve disinfected the walls and the mould (and musty smell) hasn’t returned. We used to use a small electric radiator in the room when central heating wasn’t on but don’t need to now as this obviously puts out some heat (300W on low setting).
Is not on all the time as (although supposed to be quieter than many – especially the compressor type) it would be too loud all night in a small room. Would be fine on a landing or elsewhere in the house.
Overall I’m very pleased with it and should have bought one years ago. Sometime I’ll get around to drilling hole through wall and connecting it up to the supplied hose to save the regular emptying. (Though the resulting water is of course ideal to use in steam irons etc.)
small product which is want i wanted,delivery was quick and so far hasnt disappointed me YET
We’ve just moved into a 3 bed semi 1930s house which was suffering some damp problems due to condensation. In particular the dining room wall has some damp staining and we’d often come home to a musty smell in certain rooms.
We also noticed woodlouse appearing in the porch after it had been raining.
Additionally, clothes and towels took days to dry!
I’ve had the EcoAir DD128 for about 4 weeks now. Mine came with a weather station that reads humidity and as soon as we got it out of the box we saw readings of around 75% RH.
I’ve run this unit 24/7 since purchase. On the first night I ran it in full laundry mode (max setting basically) and couldn’t believe the amount of water it was extracting (you can tell when its working hard as you get a bit of a funny smell). Over the coming days I moved it around room to room and experimented with different modes. It was generally filling up a little over a tanks worth every 24 hours (Id usually empty it each night and each morning).
Even from the first night the RH dropped and seemed to stabilise at around 50-55% RH. At this point the musty smells had all but vanished.
The only thing that bothered me was that every time I put it in Auto mode it would always default to the high setting and just remain on this regardless. For a while I thought either the auto mode was a bit of a gimmick that doesn’t really work or the unit is too small for the property. However after 3 weeks of running solid it finally cuts up and down as it should be and I’ve noticed the RH continuing to slowly climb down. We are now seeing an average of 47-51%. I’ve noticed that it goes into high mode less and less now which appears to be a sign that the EcoAir DD128 is doing its job properly!
I continue to leave it in our downstairs hallway running 24/7 (with all internal doors open as much as possible) but move it into our dinning room when drying clothes and use the laundry mode for 4-6 hours. Clothes are drying much faster now and even towels in the bathroom!
Really pleased with the results! I can’t comment on its electricity usage but I understand its runs at around 650w in laundry mode and around 40w at standby. Obviously with it running on high for so long I expect our initial electricity usage to be high but hope that now it seems to be under control we’ll see that stabilise.
In terms of noise, all you can hear is the fan and to be honest its no noisier than using a fan in the summer! On low you hardly notice it!
I normally use leave the ioniser mode on too and it must be doing something as I’ve noticed lots of dust sticking to the unit!
Oh, and no more woodlouse!
Brilliant!
It’s so efficient the water collection container isn’t big enough.
Small price to pay for having lovely warm house with no condensation.
Previously had an Ebac compressor dehumidifier for five years or so and it eventually packed up. I purchased this one based on other reviews and a bit of research on the differences between a desiccant type and a compressor. Couldn’t be happier with this model: quieter, cheaper to run, has more modes on it – such as if you have washing drying on your radiators, and most importantly it pulls out plenty of moisture from the air, more so than our old model. So far it has needed emptying once every day. Ignore other reviews about it being easy to spill water when emptying the water reservoir; we haven’t spilled a drop yet.
Delighted.
I was amazed at the volume of water this extracted, even on the lowest setting.
Purchased due to the amount of condensation appearing on the windows and amazingly has almost eliminated the moisture on them, brilliant no more wiping windows in the morning.
I turn it on when i get home from work and have it running all evening in quiet mode and turn it off when going to bed.
Everyones situation will be different though.
I was amazed by the amount of water i was tipping away, where did it all come from, i wouldnt say my flat was any way damp.
Agree with the positive comments so no point in repeating.
Water container has a cover on top and i have had no spillages from a well designed unit.

The first one was not working properly but on contacting EcoAir direct was exchanged within two days .
Very good service and I am completely satisfied with the product.
Very good and powerfull mashine , mainly i use in the bathroom after i take shower due to bad ventilation to avoid dump in the selling.
Having researched extensively, I settled on the EcoAir DD128 because of its energy saving and performance features.
Now after having the unit for 2 weeks I can pass on my thoughts to the readers. This unit has been unbelievable in our place, after running it on high in our room for 2 days we got the humidity down (from 80%) to 50% and emptied the unit around 3 / 4 times over the 2 days.
We also ran the unit in our kitchen to reduce the humidity at times from around 99% humidity to 35% humidity as we have very low ventilation in there. As we head into winter and being unable to dry our clothes outside, we tested the laundry drying function and it really does dry out the clothes very fast. The visibility of seeing how much moisture the unit pulls out of the air proves that it definitely doing its job.
We now leave the unit running at low overnight and wake up to condensation free windows and a much warmer 2 bedroom flat. Our central heating is used less as the unit blows out warm air. We have a 6 month old baby and leave the unit by the doorway, its quiet enough not to disturb her’s and our sleep.
All in all, this is a very good product and I highly recommend it. Its affordable, compact and performs outstandingly. The standard 2 year warranty also gives me confidence that I am buying a reliable product.
Ignore any review that refers to the tray leaking, there are no leaks, the design is very clever, the tray is easy to empty, and the dehumidifier turns off automatically if the tray fills up.
simple to operate low fan noise helps dry laundry as well
Yes, 8 years later and still running well. Had no issues at all. 8 years later same power, same quietness, same good job it does. Not using it every day, but it runs about 3-4 full days a week. Really impressed with it. Once again, Highly recommend!!!
Have it for nearly a year and really love it. Very quiet and at the same time powerful. Love the very low electricity consumption compared to my few previous dehumidifiers. I also like some very handy functions such as laundry drier, ability to set the timer (2, 4 or 8 hours). I also like the ability to set the flow direction. The side illumination is very handy as well as because this dehumidifier works quiet in my opinion, I keep it in my bedroom so in the night you don’t need to worry about where is the dehumidifier as you can always see the dim light on the side and be sure you will never kick it by mistake in the dark 🙂 I believe the design is really great and very user friendly. Highly recommended.
The whole house gets warmer with the stat turned down ! would buy this again and it has the silver filte
It arrived next working day by UPS but alas it only runs for about two minutes before cutting out giving you the red LED explanation symbol.
I called their 0845 customer service number and described the problem and they told me I would have to fill in the on-line form on their website giving all details.
That is where I am, still awaiting them to make contact.
The unit BTW uses 1.3 watts in standby, I thought an EU directive needed this to be under 0.5w now?
In use before out cuts out 670 watts in high and 370 watts in low.
I will update my review when I get one that works….
UPDATE#1:
A replacement unit should be with me next day and the old one collected (possible by another van)
Again, I will update when it arrives.
UPDATE#2:
As promised, UPS picked up the old one and dropped off a new one.
New one is running, fan a little noisy for my like and at present it is using 373.4 watts which is in low mode (600+ in high mode).
I will update again when it has been in use a few days.
When fully working you can hear the fan quite clearly. Whether this would be obtrusive will be an individual reaction. I would find it obtrusive if it was running in our bedroom. We have not yet tried the clothes drying facility but imagine it would be cheaper to run than the tumble drier.
Now, on Auto setting, I save energy by 50% and the humidity in the kitchen is well maintained at about 60%. So it now consumes 330 watt per hour but I notice that the unit does not consume 330 watt all the time, sometimes it goes down to under 40 watt. So I called Ecoair to ask them why this is the case and they explained that the unit is intelligently detecting the humidity and temperature and only consumes 330 watt when it needs to (ie the humidity is creeping up) and may even switch to the high mode if the humidity suddenly climbs up to very high levels like before and then goes back down to a low 40 watts when humidity level is maintained at a nice comfortable level under 60%. This is a god-send for me, I can now just leave it running on Auto without worrying too much about changing the settings. I was advised by Ecoair to put the dehumidifier in the wettest area of my house and this is actually the entrance hall to my house, not the kitchen. So now I leave it in the entrance hall (where I now put my laundry rack) and leave my kitchen door ajar when I am not cooking to let the dehumidifier suck out humidity from my kitchen, which is the place I use most during the day.
This is one of the most valuable investment I have made in a long time, now that my humidity level is controlled, I am seeing mould and condensation on my walls and windows as a thing of the past! Brilliant piece of kit.
