We’re very happy with the dehumidifier, it is loud on full power constant, but then it would be as it’s working hard. It’s a lot quieter on low, so you just need to find what works for you. We’re very happy and it’s working like a bomb 😀
Really easy to set up and use. Collects very efficiently and has made a massive difference to our house
Purchased to take moisture out of air and help dry washing inside during winter. Only recently purchased and ran for 24 hours on first use. Slightly noisy on max but did exactly as hoped. Reduced RH and noticed it taking a chill out of the air.
It works so much better than I though , great for drying the washing also
We have a small room where we dry laundry. It was feeling damp and clothes take ages to dry. Since using this dehumidifier clothes dry quickly and room is no longer has damp. Great product!
I have been using this for the past 2 weeks or so. It has helped visibly to reduce the humidity levels. Unfortunately, we can’t dry the clothes outside as we live in an apartment, so the dryer mode comes in handy and clothes are dry in few hours even in the middle of the winter with this. We also had a door which was getting beefy and difficult to close during winter months. With this product we no longer have that problem. Since we don’t have a way to continuously drain the water, we are clearing the tank once or twice in a day, which is a slight inconvenience, but still no complaints on that!. We bought this mainly to fight the moulds in the bathroom and near the windows. Will post updates on that later. Thanks
Will this remove moisture from air? Definitely.
Will it be silent while doing so….?
Not very.
While it will not wake me up it does wake my girlfriend up as it comes on and off, on the lowest setting.
I needed to quickly read the manual as the interface ia not 100% intuitive… but it is easy enough to use.
I used to live in a tropical country and these were required in the months when the concrete building we lived in ducked below 10c . So, back in Britain and trying not to put the heating on – I suddenly realised damp was becoming a major issue.
Bought one – not cheap but when you lift it you’ll get why. These are a major appliance. Imagine the weight of a small fridge rather than a space heater.
It’s a bit of shock the first time you run it and you pour out a litre of water. Wow – that was in my home!
Now I just continually rotate it between rooms. The first sign of condensation on the inside of the windows and it gets switched on.
It’s a proper piece of equipment and it feels like it’s built to last.
Does what it’s soposed to do, it’s a good buy
So instead plumped for this one which was 90 cheaper than the Meaco and more importantly available. It arrived well packed and protected. Instructions are a little wordy but at least they are clear I suppose. Since using this the humidity in the at winter time has been well controlled. It has a on/off timer function as well as a Smart extract, Dryer and always on function as well.
In terms of manoeuvrability I only scored this 3 stars – it does come with castors, so if you are using this on hard floors this would be higher, but I am using this on carpeted floors and likewise as the unit is quite low and I am 6ft, it is just easier for me to lift and shift as needed.
There are 3 fan settings, the highest being quite load but strong extraction and ventilation, the lowest being more than bearable for daytime use and, with the TV, hardly noticeable however not something you could have in the bedroom overnight.
I have not tried the dryer function yet – essentially in the UK come the Winter months you are best drying clothes indoors, however in a house with high relative humidity of say 60% this can take longer. That said seeing how much moisture this thing extracts during normal use I expect that this will help dry clothes a lot quicker.
So if you had pinned your hopes on getting a Meaco I would recommend this unit as an alternative and at 90 cheaper a bit of a bargain as well!
However, there are often negatives with many products one purchases and this is true of this item. My first impression on switching it on was how noisy it is, even using the “Silent” setting. The method of setting the timer is not well described in the comprehensive user manual as is the methos for setting a target humidity. I am sure that all will become clear as I make more use of the item but I have already discovered how best to use it. I turned the unit on as I went to bed and, when I got up the next morning the humidity, shown on the control panel was down to 40% and the living room windows showed no sign of condensation. As this was the main reason I went for the Russell Hobbs dehumidifier I was very happy with the result.
The water collection container, at 10 litres or 17.5 pints is well up to the job and it is also very easy to take the container out and empty it.
So, all in all, I am very happy with my purchase, though the noise level reduced my overall rating. Using the unit at night however means that the noise is not an issue and I am very happy to recommend this dehumidifier for use in larger areas.
It’s quite effective but there a few minor annoyances. The humidity sensor is about 5 to 10 % higher than any of freestanding sensors I have. I could probably return it but I can account for it so I won’t bother. The machine is a bit noisier than expected, not too bad especially for the price. The water bucket is hard to check the level on, and as with it seems all dehumidifiers, a bit tricky to empty with no spillage/drips.
If your want a fairly powerful machine but don’t won’t to spend too much money, this could be a good option.
Recent buy and looks like it will be a good buy. Noise level is what you expect from a dehumidifier and controls are easy to use.
Fantastic product. Dehumidifies fast. A wee bit noisy even in silent mode but we have it in a spare room and don’t hear it. Timer is excellent. Can’t believe how much moisture it removes !!
Multiple different settings for a variety of purposes. Noise level is fine even when on highest setting, never once bothered us. Easy to empty and move around. No issues
Louder than I would have liked, heavy, so moving it’s easy, but OK. Makes the room warm, clothes don’t take as long to dry. Would have been better if it didn’t use so much electric.
Bought this de-humidifier to clear moisture from the air in my bungalow and to compliment my existing one. I felt having one in the hallway and a second at the rear would keep the moisture down which they do and having a humidity level readout is a great feature. The RHDH 1001 does what it says but also dries the washing in a few hours so it save us having to use the dryer [saving money]
It’s quite noisy but it does run on q quieter setting but less efficient but it does take a lot of moisture out of the air
I’d recommend this it does the job greatvfor a large room bedroom , living room etc amd it has wheels and a handle and is easy to use
My dog is allergic to dust mites and mould spores and been on antibiotics combined with steroids for most of his life . Since my purchase symptoms eased a bit . I cannot recclmend it enough for all especially if you have anyone suffering from the allergy it’s a must have at home. It has three modes, smart option, dryer or continuous. Also three levels of extraction. It’s not too loud and really I just forget its on. Timer function is brilliant but smart mode does all it needs depending on the moisture lvl in the air I want .
I have a large area to cover downstairs combined living room / kitchen and diner and it manages perfectly. It has small whells so it’s really easy to manoeuvre as well.
Some reviews say about the water container but I haven’t found any difficulty in taking it out or putting it back. It has a handle so it’s easy to carry , empty and put it back. Of course if you move the machine while doing that you can spill some leftovers in the dehumidifier chamber but it’s all logical to me .
I think it’s an excellent dehumidifier and bargain for this price.
Got this 2 weeks ago as I have been having problems with mould and mildew. It’s made a huge difference. I can’t beleive how much water it collects. I have to empty it at least twice a day. No sign of mould now. The only downside is it’s quite heavy on electricity but worth it.
This dehumidifier pulls a huge amount of water out of the air very quickly.
Great for drying clothes or a room in general
The unit will automatically maintain a chosen humidity value, which is exactly what we were looking for.
Puts out a fair bit of heat, so not for the summer months.
So far so good, been using this for about two weeks now and it’s been very effective, water tank is a pain to empty but otherwise no complaints. Much better compared to a smaller unit I have been using for a while now. Quite noisy but suspect all units of this size/specs are like that.
Would recommend—works effectively and efficiently. However, it’s on the loud side, so we can’t run it at night or in the early morning without worrying about disturbing our neighbours. Good value for money!
I have used this with the drawer to collect the water and works very well but found it tricky to manoeuvre and found the drawer when full tricky for me to carry as I have physical problems. When filled with water the drawer is heavy. The unit itself has wheels and a handle on too this means it can be pushed to move it.
I have a lot of condensation in my kitchen and have placed it on my worktop with the hose running into my kitchen sink. This saves me having to empty the unit. I clean the filter every other day to ensure it keeps working properly or lint will build up. I have the hose running load than the level of the dehumidifier to ensure proper drainage.
This unit worked at straight away and started to collect water.
The unit can be turned to a quite setting but does not empty as well and can be put on a timer. You can also set the humidity you want. I turn mine to ‘silent’ when I am not cooking, have tumble dryer on or have laundry drying. Otherwise I have it on auto where it will just run all the time.
This unit blows cold air from the top of it and this needs to be kept clear from anything and it needs space at the front and back so it works properly.
This is an excellent dehumidifier and has empty out so much water and I know it saving me money because I don’t have to have the windows open and heating on high to keep the house warm and is stopping my getting damp in the future.
We bought the Russell Hobbs 10L to replace an Ecoair DD122 Simple, bought in March 2016. It’s our fourth dehumidifier and favourite so far.
On “silent” mode, the Russell Hobbs is slightly noisier than the Ecoair, but is a much more efficient dehumidifier and doesn’t waste energy by putting out heat. There’s no odour either.
The Ecoair and the slimline yacht model we had before that both had inadequate filters and became clogged with fluff despite our obeying the cleaning instructions. The Ecoair also had a fussy device for stopping any water dripping into the case when the tank was removed which we had to take out to prevent clogging. These problems began after 2 years’ use.
We live in a 2 bedroomed bungalow and find the Russell Hobbs perfectly adequate for our needs, which include drying the wash.
I decided to go with a brand I trusted and I believe I have made the right choice. It is very easy to use and simple to operate. It looks good too. The dryer function is really useful especially in the winter. I did not realise how heavy it was and am very glad I chose this one as it can be moved from room to room with relative ease.
So pleased with this de-humidifier left to stand for 24hrs and plugged in yesterday…between 1.30pm and 9pm it collected 3litres of water! This is going to solve my condensation and damp wall problems…no more winters of mould spraying! Noise level is higher when on High but not a problem. Smart looking unit, easy instructions for anyone that hates digital! If I can work it out then anyone can! Great purchase that I would highly recommend
I bought this dehumidifier to replace my broken one. It is easy to carry up and down stairs as needed with the handle. I got this to help deal with ongoing damp in my house. I have found that it pulls a lot of water out of the air and it has got rid of the stale smell that I was getting. I like that it states what the humidity is on the digital display. I will mainly use this on continuous mode, but I like the features available. For the price and the extended warranty this is an excellent product. I would highly recommend it.
Addition-
After using this for 6 months, I would now have bought a second one if I could afford it. Brings the humidity down by about 8% in only 30 minutes or less. Best dehumidifier I have had.
the sensor that detects when the bucket is full does nothing,
Luckily i first took the bucket out when it was half filled and saw the machine keep running.
the way this works is a lever that holds a button down is displaced by the water,
the button that is supposed to be let go of is too stiff to drop used WD-40 that did nothing.
if it weren’t for that this would be a perfect dehumidifier
If you are likely to leave it untended long enough to fill the tank put it on a chair and connect hose to a sink or bucket or it will wet the floor.
