EcoAir DD1 Simple Blue MK3 Desiccant Dehumidifier | Rotary Dial | 7.5 L/Day |...

This is an excellent desiccant dehumidifier, and superior to my previous one costing twice the price. It's compact and light enough to be moved around the house if required. It needs about 8 inches of clearance from the wall to the back of the machine for the filter to work efficiently. The filter is at the back, and it's very easy to clean as it just slides out from the side. It can be vacuumed or brushed. I use a soft-bristle brush (new paintbrush or similar). It's quieter than my last dehumidifier. On the Eco setting, it makes a similar noise to a cool air fan. The turbo setting is noisier since it uses more power. I've placed mine in the hallway, where it manages to extract moisture from the living room, bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom. Internal doors need to be left open a bit, but windows, etc., should be closed while the dehumidifier is in use (otherwise it will draw in moisture from outdoors and cost much more to run). The rotary dial allows you to select from a complete range of humidity levels, not just low, medium and high as on preset push-button models. However, apart from the raindrop (moisture) symbols, there's no scale of humidity level settings on the rotary dial itself, so you will need a separate hygrometer to measure / monitor the actual humidity levels. From electricity meter readings, and for a 1-bedroom flat, I've estimated that using this dehumidifier on the Eco setting for 24 hours daily, will increase my electricity bill by about £10 to £15 per month (although this may be greater for larger houses, or if your pre-existing humidity or dampness levels are particularly high). The estimated cost takes into account the fact that it doesn't actually operate for 24 hours, because it cuts off automatically once the desired humidity level has been reached and only comes on again when the humidity level rises. The increase in electricity could be reduced by using the dehumidifier only during the day or night, or only when cooking or using a shower / bath. However, on health, hygiene and humidity grounds, it may be advisable to keep it running as long as it remains affordable. UPDATE 27 Feb 2016: After running this dehumidifier on automatic for the last few months, I've found that it doesn't need to switch itself on as often now since the humidity levels in the house have been progressively reduced to an optimum level. Therefore, the electricity costs will be less than I estimated originally (above). This EcoAir dehumidifier is proving to be more economical than my previous one (which was a different brand).

Rreally amazed at amount of water this pulls out of the air. We have had a damp issue in the bedroom for a while which has gotten worse due to working from home (wife uses living room, so I have to use the damp bedroom). We had been doing a poor job of managing the issue with other dehumidifiers pre Cvd19/lockdowns but when we had to start working from home the damp problem got much worse. So I did a bit of research which showed this type of dehumidifier was significantly better than cheaper versions. But it's worth it Have used far cheaper dehumidifiers in the past, but this one collects 2litres in 14 hours where cheaper versions barely manage that in a week. It isn't silent, but it's only about the same noise level as air conditioning unit when it's running on economy mode ( level I usually run it on). Took a couple of days to get settings right, but now working perfectly. Automatically runs through the day and pulls enough condensation out of the air to not have to run through the night. After clearing up mould, and painting anti mould paint on problem areas and then installing the kit the room has been clear of mould and damp on the walls for over a month. No sign of mould recurring (which it always did previously no matter how much paint I used)

I’ve been using this dehumidifier for about 3 years now and it has worked very well! It has a knob which allows you to adjust how much water the dehumidifier removes from the air. Once the right level has been reached it turns off. Living in the UK this is great for when I hang clothes indoors to prevent the air become too humid which could promote growth of mould. I’d highly recommend this dehumidifier!

Bought this last January to help keep the air in my (at the time) small, open-plan house free from moisture when cooking. Unit it unobtrusive, and fairly quiet when in "Low" mode. I'm a light sleeper and can sleep through this. It kept my windows free of moisture and helped to curb the damp patch that was on the stairs. It's also great for drying clothes indoors - set it to dry mode and leave it by your clothes for a couple of hours and it'll dry them out. Running costs aren't too bad. Using my British Gas meter it was reading about 5p/hour on low and 10p/hour for drying mode. The timer function is great if you're going out and want to run it for a time without worrying about cost. It is pretty efficient and it's always shocking to see how much water it pulls out of the air. I've since moved to another house but still use the unit when I'm cooking in the kitchen, or having a shower. It's great for winter when you want to keep the windows closed but don't want the condensation. After about 13 months the unit stopped working. I tried my luck and contacted EcoAir directly about the fault. Despite being out of warranty, a few email exchanges and a copy of my Amazon receipt later, they agreed to repair the unit for free. Couldn't fault their service and had the unit back within a week.

Excellent dehumidifier, very efficient, quiet; dries the clothes very quickly

Arrived quickly, easy to set up, relatively lightweight.Efficient at sucking water out of my conservatory airspace. Easy to empty, though best to empty before the container is full! It is quiet- just a low humming. So far, very good!
