That's utter nonsense, we ordered one of these (actually the better spec model) a few months back to assist with drying washing, sure enough it pulled a constant 600W and pumps most of that out as heat effectively acting as a massive heater too which isn't what we wanted. After a couple of hours running we were tipping away pretty much the same amount of water as the compressor based unit it replaced. I sent it back and ordered a compressor based (Ecoair) model which is using a quarter of the power and after a couple of hours.... we're tipping away the same amount of water.

Usually £130, heat

going to get this later bargain thanks

I just went for the one they had on a lightning deal for £99 this one

Didn't like the fact that this was around 600W where the one I got is around 230W.

I have the "classic" version of this, and I love it. I can recommend this British brand. I can recommend dessicant over compressor. Just decide whether you want to save a few quid with this "simple" model, with the manual controls, or try to get a deal on the Classic, which has more intelligent controls.

I dry laundry with mine in 4 hours and then it's packed away (instead of loads of racks everywhere for days). It clears condensation in the bathroom after a shower. Our black mold problem is significantly reduced. Owned it for a year with no issues, and no noticeable jump in electricity bill

This is why I went with a compressor. Our house never gets below 15°c in which case the compressor should do fine at a lot less wattage.

Cracking deal. I bought this model last year and it's fantastic. I also purchased the Lightning Deal for the other model yesterday linked to in a previous post.

I own the "EcoAir DD122 MK5 Desiccant Classic Dehumidifier with Ioniser and Silver Nano Filter" myself for about four years. It is a bit more costly to buy, but well worth the money invested. No faults, and the results are very good in lowering moisture and giving a nice smelling fresh and worm air! Recommend this dehumidifier!
