EcoAir DD122 Simple Desiccant Dehumidifier, 7 L - Pink

I just bought a new one of these to replace an identical model that’s been efficiently drying our house and clothes for 10 years before finally giving up. The new one is working faster and quieter. The simple rotary humidistat control is just what you need - do yourself a favour and avoid the over-complicated things with apps or digital panels - the reality is that you won’t care and will want something simple. Dries a laundry load in a day, or a whole room full of laundry in two. The tank is quite small (but bigger than many others) so when it’s working hard you will need to empty it frequently - every day or with every new load of laundry.

I am not one for writing reviews but I never appreciated how good this actually is until it broke! I bought it in 2018 and unfortunately it died last month. I replaced it with a cheaper Meaco one as I was only using it in my box room to dry clothes. The Meaco is really heavy in comparison, and does not have a carry handle so it’s very hard to move. It also doesn’t dry the clothes effectively at all. The Ecoair would dry the clothes in just a few hours but the Meaco can be running all night and the clothes still aren’t fully dry! I find myself wanting to return the Meaco to repurchase this great dehumidifier!

Great product, would definitely recommend. I'd brought a cheap humidity gauge and it was regularly registering over 80, now with this dehumidifier it's a pleasant 60. My accommodation is a basement room. Great space but it was getting colder even with the heating on in the rest of the house and on in my room. It was the last straw when I moved some furniture and realised that it was damp/wet underneath ( and no I wasn't drying washing in my room). Also I was struggling to get motivated on my non work days to get up, as continual coughs, cold and even an eye infection. I just felt unwell. A friend visited and commented that I wasn't myself and felt that my room was humid and that I needed to consider moving out. But what about trying a dehumidifier first, as they knew I liked my room. We looked online and realised that I needed something quiet and fairly portable. But didn't want to pay the earth for it. Absolutely great product, made a difference the first night I used it. Took a couple of days to get the humidity down in my room, but now only have to put it on for a few hours a couple of times a week or if I've been away. It has completely changed the environment and now I've found it even dries washing our house tumble drier packed in two weeks ago.

Wow, didn’t realise how bad the humidity was until I bought this. Went from 75% humidity to around 53% humidity. Also warms the place up a bit too which is a bonus. Only had it 2 days so can’t say anything about reliability issues yet but seems to be doing the job just fine.

Desiccant dehumidifiers are better than compressor types if you want them to run in cold rooms like garages or unheated utility rooms. A couple of disadvantages are than they use slightly more electricity and also they have a distinctive smell when running, especially at first. I like this particular model (I have three of them!) because you can use them with timers, or control them using smart plugs via home automation. I've discovered (to my cost) that the fancier models with more complex controls can't cope with being switched off from the mains, and end up damaged - this model is fine. Having bought three of them you can tell I'm a bit of a fan!
