Meaco MeacoDry ABC Dehumidifier (White) Energy Efficient Quiet Electric Compressor Dehumidifier for home - Removes Condensation & Damp, prevents Mould

This is the first dehumidifier I've purchased as I don't have damp mouldy wall problems but it can get vey humid with condensation on the windows which leads to mould around the windows. This MeacoDry ABC dehumidifier 10L is perfect for solving this issue as it's compact but still very effective. There are 2 fan speed settings with both running quiet, in fact I always run it on the higher speed as it's quiet enough for me not being obtrusive even being in the same room. There is also a digital display showing the relative humidity in the room with settings to regulate the humidity you want which automatically switches off the machine when it reaches the target humidity. There are other features which are described in the product description which makes it a very capable dehumidifier. Using it to help control humidity and window condensation as well as drying laundry on an airer and for both it works very well and cheap to run. Also very easy to move from room to room with the handle on the back. If you're looking for a good quality capable dehumidifier for humidity or condensation control then in my opinion this is perfect. I'm mainly impressed with how quiet it is, how well it works and the high quality. I am very happy with this and recommend you get one, even if it's just for drying laundry as it's a lot cheaper than running a tumble drier.

I don’t normally bother to review products after 12 months, but I felt I should on this occasion, as I noticed it is 12 months since I ordered this Meaco unit. I live in an old damp house, and chose this unit to try to improve matters. I wanted it to be effective, not too loud and energy efficient. The fact it was UK made was a bonus. In the last year I estimate I have run the dehumidifier 340 days. I move it around the house and probably empty 1litre of water on average a day. Now I know that’s the point of a dehumidifier, but it struck me that the performance is outstanding. It does everything it claims to do. It is quiet enough to run in a bedroom, as it does most nights, although it may annoy some I guess. It is so simple to operate and empty. Light enough to move around easily. I just wanted to say thank you to Meaco for a great product that has massively reduced the damp and mold in my still very old house.

I have a small dehumidifier for my kitchen which has been good, but I wanted a larger one that would do the job in the conservatory in which we placed a panel heater to help dry out washing during the winter, but as this was going to create a lot of condensation it was important to keep this at bay. We also wanted something that wasn't going to cost a fortune to run and after reading the reviews for this Meaco, I thought I'd give this a whirl and I'm very glad we did. There is an easy to use interface which enables you to set the required humidity level (we set ours to the recommended setting of 55) and you can set it to run on either high or low (depending on how much the area needs dehumidifying). You basically just switch it on and leave it running and it will switch on and off automatically when the humidity rises over the set level until it brings it down again. This it does without having to fiddle with it, therefore it pretty much runs itself. There is an additional function - "laundry" - which you can switch on - designed for once you've hung up your washing and it drags the moisture out of the air faster. This function runs for 6 hours and then switches off. The only downside with this is that (from what I have experienced, so far at least), once the 6 hours has passed on laundry mode the machine doesn't automatically restart and you have remember to go back and switch it on again, which is a bit of a pain (I expect there may be a way to set it so this doesn't happen, but I haven't worked it out yet). You also have to check on it every so often to make sure the water collection isn't full as the machine will switch off then too. Apart from that, you can leave it on to do its thing. The amount of water this machine has pulled out is astronomical!! I can honestly say we have not had ONE drop of condensation since using it. We also have a smart meter and can see that it doesn't use a lot, despite being on 24/7. I am SO impressed and extremely glad I bought it. I told my parents about it and they have now bought exactly the same one, for the same reasons and they are also equally impressed and over the moon with the difference it has made. I would recommend this dehumidifier to anyone.

Good mid-range dehumidifier. Especially helpful in the winter when moisture builds up. It is mostly used in the home in the living room, which is a larger size. With the heating on, the dehumidifier works really well, usually clearing up any steam from cooking or extra moisture in 30min-1hr. It's especially useful for drying clothes, as it has a specific setting for that which turns the machine off automatically after 6-hours to help with electricity usage. Sometimes the clothes need more than that, but not very often if you put the drying rack right next to the dehumidifier. If the door is closed to the room, it works even better. Downside is that the room needs to be a warmer temperature for the dehumidifier to work properly. Under about 12-15 degrees it does not work very well. You also need to be careful to empty the water compartment regularly, because mould can easily build up and cleaning it is not the easiest thing to do.

Perfect product delivered from UK

Acquistato per cercare sollievo nelle notti afose. Ho scelto questo modello/marca dopo varie ricerche. Definito il più silenzioso che ci sia: non posso dire che sia rumoroso, benché alla velocità minima, di notte, in camera da letto per poter dormire io devo mettere i tappi, sono però molto sensibile al rumore e senza completo silenzio non dormo. Senza rotelle: chissà perché non le hanno previste, bastava veramente poco per renderlo più pratico. Pesa circa 12kg, non molti magari, ma non è agevole spostarlo. Io lo lascio fisso in camera da letto, ma lo devo comunque spostare un minimo per lavare i pavimenti. Per agevolare lo spostamento e per proteggere il parquet ho messo i feltrini sotto. Utilizzato per la prima volta con caldo tropicale , scorsa notte, 29,5 gradi in casa: con anche le pale a soffitto accese in camera da letto, ho dormito bene, senza sudare. Sopporto comunque bene il caldo. la stanza non era fresca, ben inteso, il deumidificatore non rinfresca, ma grazie alla riduzione dell'umidità ha reso la temperatura seppur alta più sopportabile. Non mi aspettavo nulla di più se non appunto rendere le notti afose più secche. Nulla a che vedere ovviamente con un climatizzatore. Altra caratteristica che mi ha spinto ad acquistarlo è il fatto che il display si può spegnere pur lasciando il deumidificatore funzionante, così da evitare fastidiose luci in camera da letto di notte. Ultimo punto a favore è il fatto che la vaschetta raccogli acqua ha un coperchio, così che quando la si toglie per svuotarla non c'è il rischio di versarla per sbaglio sul pavimento. Tenete presente che arriva con spina inglese. Serve quindi un adattatore oppure dovete cambiare la spina.
