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.

The dehumidifier works amazingly well. It is not loud, and extracts a lot of moisture from the air. I primarily use it to dry my clothes, and depending on the amount/fabrics, a lid of washing can easily dry in about 3 hours (or 5 if I hand washed it all, and the humidity that day is very high).As the humidity has been quite high recently, I’ve found that the machine tends to collect just under a litre or water per hour, although it does work better if left to run for about two hours at a time (or more if required). When it’s been less humid, the water tank was still about 1/3 full after an hour.The air it expels is also very warm, so it will be great in winter. I measured about 45 Celsius just in front of where it blows out the hot air (the room temperature was 20 Celsius).You can position it so that it blows the air at a certain angle, or that it moves between some specified angles. There are three timers where it can shut off automatically, but it can be used without them as well.I have nothing negative to say about it. It’s a good quality and cost effective machine that dehumidifies, and also works well for drying laundry, and very slightly warming up a room.

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!
