Keep in mind that you’re unlikely to need to run the dehumidifier at all times. It can rapidly reduce humidity, so most people have it on for period of time each day (or when needed). Features As a desiccant dehumidifier, its big plus point is that it can be operated at colder temperatures than a compressor dehumidifier. Unlike most dehumidifiers which use a compressor to draw in warm moist air and then extract the moisture from the air via refrigerant gas and condensing coils, the desiccant means there doesn't need to be ambient warmth in the room for the dehumidifier to do its job.
The water tank will also need cleaning out every now then, don’t use hot water, just some warm soapy water and ensure that you fully dry the tank before you replace it. Storage The tank has a relatively generous 2-litre capacity, and is sturdy enough that you shouldn't splash water about whilst removing it, and it has a handy flip handle so you can carry it easily to empty it. The cover also lifts off to make pouring out the water more precise. There are three primary ranges of EcoAir dehumidifier. The DD range ofdesiccant dehumidifiers contains models such as the DD122 Classic MK5. The domestic range contains refrigerant modelsincluding the excellent DC12. EcoAir also produce a set of industrial dehumidifiers, although we won't focus on these in this article.
Which? Overview
The EcoAir compact compressor range welcomes the Eco-friendly R290 refrigerant DC12 MK3 Compressor Dehumidifier. An upgraded DC12 MK3 dehumidifier equipped with humidity digital display, and 2 Litres water tank. Truly in a class of it’s own when it comes to control, flexibility and performance.
Electronic Control Panel with Active Humidistat, 1 to 24 Hours Off Timer, Auto Shut Off and Auto Defrost. You can manage your home humidity levels via an Intelligent LED control and be guided by a host of sensors and alarms. Perfect for application in the home. We have been using this Dehumidifier regularly now for a few months. We live in an old Victorian house with double glazing but we do have some dampness and general mustiness that is not uncommon with an old property.
It's not all positive though. The DC202 is one of the loudest EcoAir dehumidifiers, so you probably won't want to use it in bedrooms. It's also one of the more expensive EcoAir machines. 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 However, the DC18 has the ability to extract more moisture from the air when compared with the DC12. This comes at the price of a slightly heavier unit and a higher cost.
The EcoAir DD1 Simple MK3 Dehumidifier is a desiccant dehumidifier that's designed for small to medium-sized spaces. The turbo mode however is very loud, but that’s really only needed for extremely damp rooms or drying laundry. Portability Another 'simple' thing about this dehumidifier is just how easy it is to look after. Giving it a wipe-over every week with a damp cloth will make sure there’s no dust build-up, and the filter can be cleaned with a brush or vacuum cleaner. Because it’s an anti-bacterial filter, it’s important not to wash it; otherwise, it will weaken the germicidal effect.Continuous drainage function– if you don’t want to worry about emptying the dehumidifier, the drainage function could be useful. A pipe is included with the model although this is only one metre long. As well as being both compact and lightweight – the EcoAir DD1 Simple MK3 weighs just 6kg – this dehumidifier has a built-in carry handle on the top of the unit that makes moving it around the house super easy. EcoAir specialise in products for managing air quality. They produce a number of products, including dehumidifiers and air conditioning units. Other features include an "overdry" protection mechanism, to stop the air getting too dry, and a spot function if you want to dry a specific area. It's also very quiet at just 34dB. For comparison, the MeacoDry Arete One 12L dehumidifier (which is a compressor dehumidifier) uses a relatively low 151 Watts of electricity, which equates to just 5p per hour. Noise levels
