The Meaco DD8L dehumidifier is small, light and quiet. It is exceptionally economical to run (using 80 per cent less energy than previous models) and a best seller from multi award winning UK-based manufacturers, Meaco. This dehumidifier will reduce or eliminate mould spores, condensation and other damp issues in your home. It is capable of extracting 8 litres of moisture a day from your home - helping to prevent damage and health issues caused by an excessively moist atmosphere. If you do not require the air cleaning features of the DD8L (ioniser and anti-bacterial filter), then the Meaco DD8L Junior has the same great water extraction rate and is very good value for money. It will also dry your laundry cost-effectively - and so is an ideal choice where space limits the purchase of a tumble drier. The Meaco DD8L is light enough to be carried to a clothes horse where it will offer a more economical solution than a tumble drier for drying laundry, even delicate items like lingerie and jumpers. In fact, it has all the features of the award-winning Meaco DD8L Junior - but with the addition of additional features to clean and improve air quality, including an ioniser and anti-bacterial PET (Polyesthylene terephthalate fibre) filter. It therefore makes it suitable for homeowners who experience allergies because the PET filter will remove pollutants such as spores, mould and dust mites. Many customers also report that the built-in ioniser helps make air feel refreshed and tingly - like the air on a mountain. The unit is ideal for use in flats and houses with up to 4 to 5 bedrooms. Owners of boats, caravans, holiday homes and garages also love this unit because they appreciate it’s low running costs, portability, and fire safety-features. As a dessicant dehumidifier, it is also suitable for use in conservatories where temperatures can drop overnight and during winter days. Dessicant dehumidifiers also warm the air, a great bonus if you live in a chilly house, or to save on heating bills. Dessicant dehumidifiers are also valued for the consistency of their operation across all temperatures - so are ideal for very cold rooms or outbuildings. The DD8L includes Meaco\'s advanced Control Logic - meaning that it turns itself off when the desired humidity is reached, and then continues to sample the air every 30 minutes. This way the unit will run for just 10 minutes per hour - saving energy and reducing your running costs. The unit has a humidistat and also an integrated hose - meaning that it can either be plumed for continuous drainage or have the tank emptied manually.
