Product Information

This 10-litre Meaco model is actually rather attractive for a dehumidifier and we definitely like the simple top-mounted interface. At just 46cm in height and 30cm in width, it’s not too big either and that makes it perfect for smaller rooms like bath and shower rooms – which is what it was ostensibly designed for. A British built dehumidifier that proves to be deceptively potent, with the ability to remove up to 12.1 litres of moisture a day. It features a compact design, that fits into rooms with ease, while the 2.1 litre collection tank isn’t the biggest but is ideal if you’re only interested in occasional emptying duties. The Inventor is also wonderfully easy to use, with a range of controls that include a digital humidity indicator.

Dehumidifiers with an LCD display can be easier to use and understand than those without. They can display information like the current humidity level, as well as allow you to see what you’re setting the humidistat to.A standard two year warranty gives extra peace of mind, but at the heart is an extraction capability of max 18L per day. EcoAir strive for improved user experience and, as such, look for functions that meet our customers’ high expectations and needs.

A lot of dehumidifiers, even those with large litre-per-day capacities, have water collection tanks of 6 L or less, so don’t be put off by those smaller numbers. Desiccant or Compressor Dehumidifier The stats certainly impress. It’s a DC inverter model for a start and that means exceptionally low running costs. In fact, Maeco says that the more you make it work, the more water it collects and the less electricity it will use. It's similar to using air-conditioning - if it runs 24/7 it's more economical. Are power failures common in your area? No to worry, the EcoAir DC18 Compact Portable Dehumidifier comes with an auto start function that allows it to start automatically after a power failure. Not only does it start itself, but it also resumes operation according to the previous settings. How Easy Is It To Use? Not only can this dehumidifier help reduce dampness in conservatories and bathrooms, it can also speed up the process of drying washing inside by removing excess moisture from the air. There’s no specific laundry setting, but there is an optional 2h/4h timer to make it easier to use. Some customers claim that the unit is a bit noisy at a higher setting, making it hard to operate overnight

EcoAir DC18 Dehumidifier Review

Easy to use Touch Panel with Active Humidistat, Clean Filter Indicator, 1-24H Timer, Auto Shut Off, Auto Defrost. In a room with significantly more moisture, you will want a dehumidifier with a capacity of at least 7.5 L for a space of 45 m². For larger spaces, you should consider a dehumidifier of at least 20 L. Wet Some dehumidifiers will come with a hose than can be connected to funnel water away from the dehumidifier. This is especially useful if there is a lot of moisture in the air and you don’t want to be frequently emptying the tank. The only issue with this timer is that it might be more useful if there was one longer period available, like eight hours.

The water tank can be removed from the front of the machine. If you forget to replace the tank, an alarm sounds for approximately 10 seconds. While it’s great that the tank can be removed without moving the unit, it can be difficult to empty without spilling. Portability Instead of having a cold surface to force condensation, a desiccant dehumidifier contains a wheel that absorbs moisture like a sponge. This comes as standard on most dehumidifiers, but not all. It’s worth looking out for as it’s a very useful feature. Instead of manually setting how much power you want the dehumidifier to be using, you can set the unit to how much humidity you want in the air. Much like a thermostat, but for humidity, the dehumidifier will then work to maintain the set humidity level. This can stop it from using power unnecessarily and also allow a comfortable environment to be upheld.

Even so, its lower fan setting is much more bearable. At 41dB, it’s not too distracting when in the same room. It’s also probably quiet enough on the lower fan setting to watch TV. Energy Efficiency This large Vonhaus 20L Dehumidifiercan help keep the humidity at around 55 – 65% even in a large conservatory. Although this may take a little getting used to, the more basic design is likely the reason that this powerful dehumidifier is priced more conservatively than its competitors.

From the EcoAir Compact compressor range comes DC12’s larger brother; the new DC18 Dehumidifier.

Just like all EcoAir products, the aim is improved user experience and functions that meet the high expectations of customers.Out of the two types of dehumidifier, compressor dehumidifiers are generally cheaper to run.
