EcoAir | DD1 Mini | Electronic Control | 6 Litre per Day | Quiet 32dBA | 4 in...

The dehumidifier works amazingly well. It is not loud, and extracts a lot of moisture from the air. I primarily use it to dry my clothes, and depending on the amount/fabrics, a lid of washing can easily dry in about 3 hours (or 5 if I hand washed it all, and the humidity that day is very high). As the humidity has been quite high recently, I’ve found that the machine tends to collect just under a litre or water per hour, although it does work better if left to run for about two hours at a time (or more if required). When it’s been less humid, the water tank was still about 1/3 full after an hour. The air it expels is also very warm, so it will be great in winter. I measured about 45 Celsius just in front of where it blows out the hot air (the room temperature was 20 Celsius). You can position it so that it blows the air at a certain angle, or that it moves between some specified angles. There are three timers where it can shut off automatically, but it can be used without them as well. I have nothing negative to say about it. It’s a good quality and cost effective machine that dehumidifies, and also works well for drying laundry, and very slightly warming up a room.

I bought a Delonghi DEM10 two years ago for drying washing indoors. A persistent condensation problem in the box room meant I needed a second dehumidifier. My starting point was the DEM10, but then I stumbled across these EcoAir dehumidifiers and there's no turning back - it's close to perfect. Other reviews have already done the machine justice so I'll just summarise my thoughts here. The good: - I love the fact that it blows air instead of just dehumidifying (as the DEM10 does). This is great for circulating air where there's a mould problem and also for drying clothes. - It really does dry clothes quickly if they're positioned next to the fan, partly because it blows warm air. - The fan can be directed as you like, or oscillated - The clothes-drying modes (max levels) have 2/4/8 hour timers to save the electricity - The lower powered modes intelligently blow air around and sample it to cut in/out as required to save electricity - Works at lower temperatures (down to 1 degree) so is versatile and can be used in the garage/loft etc - Aesthetically pleasing design - The water collection unit has a handle and lid built in, making it easy to empty without spilling water on the way to the sink - especially good for unstable/elderly people etc. Much better than the DEM10 which basically has a big bowl. - I've not noticed a large increase in electricity used in the first month of running. The minor niggles/points to consider: - I wonder if I should have bought one of the bigger models. This is nice and neat for a small room, but I wouldn't mind if the water collection tray was a bit bigger and it doesn't give the impression of being sufficient for a whole house. But that's my fault - not the machine's fault. - I'd quite like to have the option of using the timer on the low powered modes, but the intention is to run the machine all the time and it will decide whether just to blow or to blow and dehumidify. I guess this is still energy-efficient, but I like the idea of being able to run it in the eco mode for 4 hours each day while at work. In summary, if you want a small machine for a specific problem area in your house, this is an excellent choice and I don't regret my purchase at all.

Good product, suck water from almost every room. Working good for two bedroom house.

Works really well and very easy to use. Astounding amount if water being sucked out. We are in a 3 bed house and it seems quite suitable even though it’s not that large. I’ve been emptying the water tray once every couple of days. I bought this model because it was small and quiet other models seemed quite large. Quiet in operation, similar to a light fan noise, we use it on the landing outside the bedrooms but on the lowest setting it would be fine in a bedroom providing a steady and low “white noise” effect. The water tray is easy to remove and put back, and with its removable cover there’s no worry about spilling water when you carry the tray to a sink to dispose of the water. I’ve also used it on the laundry setting to dry clothes, that works well also. Main reason for buying was to dry out bedrooms to lower the amount of condensation on the windows on cold mornings, it’s cut that from the whole window being covered and dripping to just the bottom inch or so with a light misting. A couple of points to be aware of, they are part of how it works but you might not have considered this. First, it works to an inbuilt level of about 50% humidity. You cannot adjust this. So if you found that slightly too dry or slightly too wet you wouldnt, unlike on some more expensive models, be able to set the humidity level you want up or down. It seems fine for us. Next point, you can’t actually see what the humidity level is. I bought a humidity meter for about £10 which seems to work well which is how I know what the % level it’s setting is, otherwise I’d have no clue. And of course I’m hoping the humidity meter is working properly. On the upside the lack of settings make it a breeze to use. Switch it on, select high, low, or automatic operation (generally starts out high then drops to low when it’s reached the 50% or so), or a laundry setting, high or low. I think you’d only set the high level of operation if you had abnormal humidity. Ive been leaving it on auto. You can also adjust how the fan louvre swings (a lot or a bit) or leave it in any position you’d like by switching the louvre off when it points to where you want it. Otherwise it swings back and forth automatically. The filter is easy to hoover out but it doesn’t seem to have picked up much dust yet, maybe we don’t have as much as I thought. Would recommend unless you are someone that likes to tinker in which case consider a more expensive model with inbuilt humidity setting and display. UPDATE: is now getting the humidity down to mid 40's.
