Product Information

Remove the lid from the water tank, so that there is a larger target area for the water to drip into the tank. Most models also provide a tube for continuous draining. Other useful water tank features to look out for are tanks that have pouring spouts, lids, and handles, all of which can make emptying easier and spillage-free. Control Panel Desiccant dehumidifiers are different because they can work in all temperatures with a consistent performance right down to 0°C! Unlike compressor dehumidifiers there is no compressor, which means no refrigerant making them greener, lighter and quieter than a compressor dehumidifier. hello Chris – pls could you advise me? I have just moved into a lovely wooden cabin but i suspect the moisture levels are high. I got out my low energy 12l meaco dehumidifier thinking it would soon sort the problem out. But……it started behaving oddly. Having reread the manual I see a few issues At first sight, the DD8L is not the most cutting-edge design in terms of dehumidifiers and looks even a bit outdated compared to the higher-end models from recent years, especially with its configuration options and buttons. However, this didn't stop the DD8L from becoming a best-selling model because it simply delivers what it sets out to do with no hurdles or errors. Normally, dehumidifiers come with rolling wheels and foldable carry handles. Thankfully, the DD8L doesn't need it and just includes a carry grip. If the easily manageable size is still not enough for you, you could save even more space by going for the Klarstein Shetland 600. Moving on to the internals, the device includes an ionizer unit and an antibacterial filter to cleanse the air from mould spores, bacteria and other nasty airborne particles.

If you have a lot of moisture you need to get rid of fast, then you'll likely want a model with a large capacity of 18+ litres.'

If you're looking to replace an ageing dehumidifier by shopping the winter sales, make sure you dispose of your old one in a sustainable way. The type of dehumidifier you choose will depend on the conditions of the space you want to use it in. Chris Michael, director of Meaco comments “We are thrilled to receive this expert and independent industry recognition. It is a tremendous endorsement of the Meaco brand, with the Zambezi being the third Meaco dehumidifier to receive a Which? Best Buy accolade.”

Meaco Turn Me On function - DD8L will ask you to turn it on when the relative humidity in the room goes above 70%rh (when mould grows) There’s also a Laundry Mode – with a twist. Unlike regular laundry modes, which set the dehumidifier fan to full and run until you switch it off, the Meaco uses a humidistat to monitor humidity. As clothes dry, it reduces its energy usage to minimise the cost.But which are the best Meaco dehumidifiers? And are there any you should avoid? Keep reading to find out! Who are Meaco?

How We Compared Desiccant Dehumidifiers However, unlike the main unit, there's no carry handle on the water tank - which can be a bit of a pain. Or y ou can use the supplied hose for continuous drainage rather than faffing about emptying the tank. After the Zambezi is turned off, the fan will run for about 10 minutes (which confused us at first). This is to ensure the heating element cools down fully, which extends the lifespan of the device. Smart stuff...

Refrigerant dehumidifiers are typically more energy efficient and work best in normal room temperatures, but will struggle (or not work at all) in rooms below 10°C.

We also like that the model has a huge six litre capacity. This is considerably larger than most competing models and means you won't need to empty it as often.​ The water tank that carries moisture from the air has a handle and lid, making it easy to empty. However, it is on the small side, so you may need to empty it frequently if your home is very damp. Note that his model does not feature a specific timer function, and it can be somewhat noisy when used in a turbo setting.

The humidistats ensures that you do not over dry a space and saves energy by switching the dehumidifier off when the target relative humidity has been reached. The Meaco DD8L Zambezi combats mould, damp and condensation, contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment in your household. There are also three fan speeds (low, high and laundry) along with a rotating louvre. This allows you to reduce energy usage in exchange for a lower extraction rate. While fan speed settings are fairly common for dehumidifiers, this is a useful option to have. Home Size Many customers also report that the built-in ioniser helps make air feel refreshed and tingly - like the air on a mountain. One option is kerbside collection for small electrical items – in many cases, your local council will collect smaller items such as toasters and kettles. Alternatively, you can drop items at a local recycling centre, or hand them over to retailers that have their own recycling schemes.If you’re fighting humidity in your home, choosing the right desiccant dehumidifier is key to winning the battle. The DD8L Zambezi is the result of three years of intense development and sees the incorporation of several ideas that have come directly from customers themselves. It offers more options that any other dehumidifier and an attention to detail never seen before. With a weight of just 7.8kg, it’s one of the lightest dehumidifiers on the market. It also comes with a pop out carry handle, so it’s easy to carry around the house. Desiccant dehumidifiers are designed to work well in cold as well as warm rooms, so the DD8L Zambezi could appeal if you're looking for one to use in an unheated or heated space. Refrigerant models only, typically, work well in heated spaces, because of the technology involved.
