Can’t believe how much water there was in my house !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2017

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.

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.

I love this little machine! We call her Eco and she travels round the house making it lovely. Very easy to lift and move around. I love the air she makes, I have allergies and since using this baby I haven’t had to take an antihistamine, epic since I used to take one every day! Wish I’d gotten her years ago. No condensation on the windows now in our two bed flat, no mould growing where is usually does, so happy! She dries the laundry beautifully and I don’t mind the noise. The low setting is easy to ignore and I like the noise as I know the air will be nice. The high setting is noticeable but if in eco mode it switches off when it’s not needed. It’s not so bad. I can’t sleep with it I’m my room but I put it in there for a couple of hours before I sleep and that keeps it fresh for the night. It works quickly. I love emptying the tank, so satisfying!

Great unit but no active on/off for Hudmity level.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

I recently had massive mould problems in my bedroom. The Hudmity level was 80% and I figured this was the cause of the problem. I initially purchased cheap £30 dehumidifiers, but these were totally rubbish. I then spent £100 on a condenser dehumidifier, this was much better but I read that the condenser technology is far less effective at UK temperatures (between 12-22c) and are more commonly found in hotter countries (25-35c). So I returned both of these to Amazon and got this DESICCANT unit. It's is indeed more effective than the £100 condenser unit and probably extracts 30% more water. It does increase the room temperature more but I can love with this.

As for the actual unit it's great as its so small. About half the size of the £100 condenser unit I had, and much lighter.

A really import thing to mention is that the unit only has a rundown timer (so it switches off after 2/4/8 hours once switched on) it can't be put on an external timer as the unit must do a 'cool down' for 2 mins once turned off. The instructions say if you disconnect the power during this procedure you will damage the unit. This is unfortunate as the unit also doesn't turn off when the humidity drops, so you effectively just have to turn it on for 2/4/8 hours a day and let it run. It does have an 'Eco' setting(which is just a lowe extraction rate) but this is not as good as turning off and on to control the Hudmity at a set level.

However overall, despite the lack of an 'active' Hudmity monitor I'm happy with the rate of extraction and size of the unit. I currently put it on for 2 hours every morning when I wake up and the Hudmity drops to about 48% and slowly rises during the day to around 60%. At below 60% I shouldn't get any mould growth which is all I'm fussed about.

Sucks it up!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 27, 2022

I bought this to help with drying washing indoors during winter, and general moisture control. I was a bit sceptical at first, but I genuinely can't believe how much water this thing finds in my air!
The timer function is useful, it's easy to move about and it's not too loud, although on higher settings you can definitely hear it.
I've used it for a few weeks now and am very happy with it. I'd recommended it, although its the first 'proper' dehumidifier i've used, so i'm unable to compare it with anything. I've previously used the small plastic tubs with granules in, and this sucks up more in an hour that one of those does in a month!

Do we really love our EcoAir DD122 Mini

EcoAir DD122 Mini Compact Desiccant Dehumidifier, 6 L

We have had our EcoAir DD122 Mini for just over 2 years now and we have had hundreds of hours out of it.

Background: We live in a 2 bedroom bungalow in Cambridgeshire with no central heating, double glazing or any extractor fans in either the bathroom or kitchen. We only have a relatively small wood burning stove in the lounge which provides a bit of heat and dries the air a bit.

Usage: We mainly use our EcoAir in the bathroom where the humidity will rise to over 90% after our showers, even with the window open. This is when the EcoAir comes in handy and we will let it run for 2 to 4 hours, sometimes longer, to bring the humidity back down to around 50% to 60%. During the winter we will occasionally put the unit on the dining room table, in the lounge (which is also where we dry our clothes during the winter months) and use the supplied hose that ships with it and let that drain into a bucket, therefore reducing the amount of times we have to empty the unit. If we don't use the hose, we usually empty the collection tray once or twice a day dependant on the humidity we start off with. The unit is always used on the Auto Toggle Power Saver mode which automatically regulates the power usage of the unit. The unit is quiet enough for this and we have become used to it by now.

We have had no issues with the unit, considering it has had hundreds of hours of use. Ideally we would love a second unit, one for the lounge and one in the bathroom.

The bad points: I have just asked my fiance and we can't think of any. Oh hang on, she just said, we could do with a second one too. We really can't think of anything wrong with it.

Excellent, compact and effective

I like the design of this dehumidifier, the unit is very neat, compact in size and light weighted so you can move it around the house without much difficulty. The dehumidifier works very well in collecting the moisture, couldn't believe how much water it collects, therefore it would be even better if the tank is a bit larger but this is not a problem as the tank is very easy to empty. I normally use the lowest setting for the dehumidifier and it works very well and quiet so I can have it on during the night but not affecting my sleep. When the dehumidifier is operating, it will blow out warm air which also helps in increasing the temperature of the room in the cold weather. Overall, I am very pleased with this dehumidifier and I wish I get it much earlier!

Love this machine!

Love this machine. Quiet, super compact and efficient. It has taken 3 solid months at maximum power to reduce the ambient humidity from the low 70s to a consistently low-mid 50s in my 2 bed flat but definitely feel the difference already and no more damp mouldy smells. The machine is sitting in the central hallway and is good at drawing the moisture towards it and pumping out the dryer air around the flat. The water collection chamber is small and I often have to empty the tank 3 times a day but admittedly this is very satisfying knowing that these volumes of moisture have been drawn away. Have yet to find out the effect of the power consumption in running this machine 24/7 but will keep you posted. The annoying triple click mentioned by some users is quiet feint and disappears after a while. Also, great for drying clothes. Was about to buy a tumble dryer but this does a very good job of drying clothes and sheets quickly, especially when placed directly beside or underneath the drying rack.
