One thing to note that this device works best at room temps > 15degC, so take that into account (in terms of heating cost). Still, it beats using the tumble dryer, or having clothes smell damp after 2-3 days of drying.
The water container when full holds 1100ml
Not the stated 1700ml. But other than that it’s really good. I use it to dry clothes and I’m really happy how fast it does the job
Feel this dehumidifier is helpful. We do not have a problem essentially, but it removes water from the air, and even if we run it on high for an hour after showers, it extracts a good amount of water in that time. Got it mainly for damp washing. Fortunately we have a garage to put washing in for a day before bringing upstairs to the airer. I was concerned about encouraging mould/damp, as using minimal heating this winter.
So after oodles of research, purchased this dehumidifier, and bought extended warranty for 7.29, as it was a big outlay for us. We have a very small 2 bedroom bungalow, and it appears to manage well. I wouldn’t say it dries the washing persay, if it had just come out of washing machine. I think it also adds warmth to the house whilst operating. Very easy to work the control panel. Moveable, not too heavy. Also very compact, which is really helpful in our house.
It’s a little bit noisy for me but I can live with it and I use it mainly when I’m not in the room. It dries all my clothes so quickly and removes all the humidity from the room.
Very worth getting one in my opinion.
I bought the DC12 model about 7 years ago and it’s still going strong but wanted another to dry clothes so opted for the DC14 this time.
It’s pretty good overall, the digital display is easy to use, albeit the beeps are noisy and can’t be silenced.
The noise level isn’t whisper quiet but it’s quiet enough.
You also get a decent air output so does help to dry the clothes a bit quicker.
The water tank is quite small, half the size of the DC12 despite the DC14 having a higher litres per day rate.
The one thing that baffles me is the cord and plug storage! There’s a place for the plug to be secured on the back but there’s nowhere to wrap the cord. If you wrap it around the device it doesn’t reach the plug holder, no matter which way you try it. The only thing i can think to do with the cord is wrap it around the wheels but obviously then it can’t be moved.
Despite that’s its pretty good overall so would recommend
Clears huge amount of dump every day, happy to have made that choice. We leave it working thru the winter in corridor, our bedrooms open, and it dehumidifies the air. We have no issues with the noise levels, maybe because it is far from us but, the silent mode is cool as well. You can timers to turn it off while sleeping or away from home. We are glad we bought i
I use this for drying laundry. It is brilliant, drying in much shorter time than my previous one of another brand. I particularly like the water container which can be dried between uses. My previous one could not. However one does need to keep an eye on the water container. At 13 litres capacity I find it does a dry for a load, but sometimes needs emptying before it’s dry enough. It beeps to let one know.
The machine is compact, easy to set up, easy to use. I highly recommend this dehumidifier. I am so pleased with it.
Set to maintain humidity at 60% it kicks in and out occasionally and almost silently.
Way better than non-compressor models that struggle and don’t seem to last more than a year.
Works well for the upstairs rooms. I have a big unit for the lower floors and that one is much noisier and only a year old.
Highly recommend for any decent size room(s) or large office space.
This Dehumidifier works so well and it’s easy to move and very quiet
Would buy another one if required.
Really happy tree every day and night really makes the air fresh got rid of the mold problem I had
Don’t bother with the 40 to50 ones, 1l to 2l ones. I have one and got about half a cup full of water per day in the same room. This was filling up( about 4 cups) twice a day for the first week, untill the room dried out. I got the 13l one, it’s very heavy and well built.
Recently bought this product. The casters are useful as it is quite heavy. I’m pleased that it isn’t noisy, it’s quite quiet when it’s on. Options of different levels, low and high and a useful timer. It works, I’m surprised at how much water it has taken in from my bathroom which I hope will eliminate the condensation problems. Plug fits into a slot in the back, shame there isn’t anywhere to hold the cable. Easy to empty. So far I am pleased with my choice.
Good price, very effective and can be wheeled into position.
This product does the job nicely, don’t really hear it..but I do have it on the lower setting. I do seem to be emptying the water container frequently as it’s not that big.
Mine is in the bathroom & up to now no new mould visible.
Only criticism is that the water tank is quite small when compared to the other models. It is also heavier than the other model.
Great item. Nice looking and easy to maneuver with the casters.
After running it for a few days to get the humidity to a suitable level, it rarely runs now, so it’s quiet and presumably the electricity usage is not too bad. I have severe nasal congestion and this has helped A LOT (although it took a few days to get the room to the correct ambient humidity / kill the dust mites), there is also no mold on my shoes anymore. For the price this was definitely worth it! Can’t speak on the sound as I have a white noise machine, but I imagine it can be slightly noisy at night in the beginning.
I purchased this item for my In-laws as they have had a serious issue with condensation in an indoors shed, i set this up in the passage next to the shed which is a brick built one.
They are extremely pleased with it as it’s dried out the problem and the shed doesn’t smell damp any more and they empty it daily, so all in all a very good little purchase that has changed their lives as they no longer dread going out into the shed.
BTW; i can’t give it any stars for efficiency as i don’t run it.
Love this dehumidifier
I have 4 different ones and this is one of the better ones for quietness and efficiency
It’s not excessively large and so is hardly noticeable when in use, and it can be left in a room without having to keep hiding it in a cupboard when not in use. The unit is easy to move, either on its wheels or using the built-in handles. In operation, even at the highest setting, it’s quiet. It has good extraction levels and emptying the internal water bottle is a simple process.
This is actually my second dehumidifier – last winter I bought a VonHaus dehumidifier. It didn’t quite survive the winter – the fan stopped working so I returned it (their customer service was top-notch). This winter, I thought I’d give this one a go. I did consider an Ebac but there was a lot of talk of quality issues in the reviews and there didn’t seem to be anything to justify the much higher price.
The Vonhaus was, I think, about 110. I bought the EcoAir direct from their website for 90, so a similar price point and comes with a 2yr warranty.
In terms of size, they are about the same but this unit feels nicer quality and it’s much quieter. The humidistat seems accurate and the compressor shuts off as it should when the target humidity is reached. A very short (about 50cm) hose is supplied if you want to use the continuous drainage option. The tank is quite small but still enough to last a whole night in my house.
Judging by the Chinglish instructions supplied, I imagine that this machine, like the Vonhaus, is designed and made in China and then imported and marketed by Ecoair – a testament to how good Chinese designed products are getting. I’ll update if I have any issues but so far I’m very impressed – it’s better than my old one (which was already not bad) in pretty much every way.
