Screw fix equivalent here also £80 with double the size tank and very good reviews.

I ordered one of these but its useless. I a room 21C it gets constantly stuck in a defrost mode. Junk

Impressed with mine pretty quiet too like a Hotel's AC unit

From my experience, I would treat that as a lucky escape!

Hermes driver must keep my item, i was at home all day, never saw their Hermes van, but received an Amazon notification saying it's delivered. :man: called Amazon, can only do refund, as price has changed back... :confused:

If I bought 2 would that cover the whole house? One downstairs in the hallway and one upstairs in the landing?

Just bought one

Excellent deal. Cheapest seen

I have a really really old MATSUI one and works very well, I am sure it is older than me and I am 22, Heat! These are needed during the winter.

For the winter months this is though much more expensive, a better option EcoAir DD122 Mini Compact Desiccant Dehumidifier

Thinking about it all day just ordered

Thanks, purchased.

I bought EcoAir dehumidifier and returned De'Longhi DEM10 Compact Dehumidifie. Ecoair has a displace panel with humidity level indicator and a timer. I felt it is better than De'Longhi in terms of noise and looks modern.

I bought one of these about 10 months back - very disappointing - very cheap plastic and quite noisy - sorry to say I sent it straight back as it was hardly pulling any moisture (I guess my house was too cold) - it was about £110 if iirc so £80 is a good price

Looking for one. Bought it. Thanks OP. Cheers.

Why would it be any worse than what you are doing with it otherwise - breathing it in?

Evaporated water is purified - look up the rain cycle.

​predicament! do I keep both (one for upstairs and one downstairs) or return the meaco?

Thanks, got two.

Its also a tiny portable one worth for nothing

Is it a dessicant of compressor dehumidifier ?
Dessicant machines are supposed to be much better for use in the winter time .

Edit:Its seems its a compressor type so pretty useless for Winter use.

Had 2 that have broke down after 2 years. Wouldn't buy again

Does this make any noise? Want it but want to make sure its not noisy. Thanks

Great I just paid 119 quid from johnlewis..least I get 2 year cover..40 quid more..

this one is cheaper with more reviews

I bought the newer version from amazon Des12 still sealed,boxed up £80 on the last lightning deal. Will either return or sell to get my money back. Got my brothers meaco off him for £40 instead

Just got mine. What a bargin and 2 years warranty. Jest added

I had a PIV unit installed a year ago in my flat and it's only made a little difference to the measured humidity. My old Bionaire dehumidifier still switches on and off as often as it ever did. However the flat does smell much fresher, and the mould that sometimes developed on coats hanging in the hallway has completely gone, so the PIV is doing some good.

I'm tempted by this deal as my Bionaire one has on a couple of occasions recently soaked the floor (due I think to a blockage of fluff in the drainage channel leading to the water collection tank, leading to the water it extracted flowing out of the base). So I've half been looking out for a replacement - the Bionaire has been running for 10 years and has had a good innings.

Thanks for your input.

We have condensation in all three bedrooms so was recommended a PIV unit get a bit of mould too. The PIV unit I am getting has heat too. So hopefully it warm it up a bit.

Thank you!

Hmmm which is better, want one to help drying clothes in a warm room

managed to sort it... thanks!

All dehumidifiers on the market are 5-10 years old models ... Yet, cosmic price :disappointed: WTF ???

Gone for this, having had cavity wall insulation my house is toasty warm and bills have decreased but windows covered in condensation when it is cold out.

:confused::disappointed:
I've used mine now..it's the Meaco 10L Dehumidifier. Reviews were hood, just arrived yesterday morning. Collected I'd say 1.75l of water and that's between 1.40 pm til 11.40pm roughly. I wouldn't be able to return it now since I've used it. Plus I've never ordered anything above £20 from amazon. Dunno howd theyd be customer service wise whether it'll be a load of hassle.

Screw fix equivalent here also £80 with double the size tank and very good reviews.

How does these compare to a PIV unit. I am having a PIV unit installed in 2 weeks. Should I get this to get me on with until that or will I just waste money as the PIV unit is costing a bit already

It needs to be 50cm away from a wall.

And Which.co.uk are not too keen:

A good choice if you’re on a budget - but only if you don't plan to use it in cool rooms and don't mind putting up with its noise.

Pros: Small and portable, cheap to buy and run

Cons: Noisy, will need regular emptying, does not work well in the cold

Grrr - had to replace ours just before Xmas - ended up getting the all singing and dancing Ebac smart model at £260 because there we're no deals around on budget machines and Clubcard boost meant I paid less just over £80 for it.

ordered one, thanks!

£4.75 postage and packaging cost??? Am I missing something?

Bought this November 2014 on an Amazon deal, when it was 90 quid worked fine, but EXTREMELY noisy, even with a thick foam pad underneath and on a solid floor. so bad I eventually gave up on it, and it is now used by a friend in an area he isn't bothered by the noise.

Bought an Ebac (OK, and far quieter but not all they are cracked up to be either!).

I have a Meaco dessicant type too, and while it produces more heat and is dearer to run, it is half the volume.

Had the B+Q clone of this for nearly 10 years, convinced its got noiser over time but still works as such recommended.

Was contemplating a replacement this week as Screwfix have currently got a sale on, would have gone for the 16L myself;

Hopefully the links work. Nearly 30 posts in and surprised the compressor / desiccant argument hasn't started yet!

I have the older (much) and larger model than this. In fact, it will celebrate its 14th birthday in September. It has been amazing. It is in permanent use including the summer. Mine is thermostatically controlled and does its job brillliantly. My friend bought an even bigger model than the one I had and after 8 years it needed attention. It was repaired at minimal cost and returned with a 2 year guarantee. It has been faultless since. I think De'Longhi were more than fair under the circumstances. Highly reccommended. I know I wouldn't be without mine.

Will this work any good in an area of the house that sits at around 10 deg c? Thanks

Is something this size suitable for a room only? Or could you leave it at the bottom of the stairs, leave all doors open and notice a difference in every room of the house?

Had ours for 10 years now, getting second one, thanks!

Excellent dehumidifier. We've had one for about 7/8 years....amazing how much water it collects.

Not sure I agree with this statement though 'The DEM10 uses ecological gas R134a and collects demineralised water that is ideal for re-use in, for example, steam irons' If you are going to do this then make sure you leave your toilet door closed :confused:

Excellent price....HOT

Had one which broke down just after two years, I personally wouldn't buy it again. It worked well for those two years but I would have expected it to last longer.

cheaper than all other retailers. on tesco for £125 hot deal.

good find op, heat added

bought it 2 years ago. Very good item

Seems as a really nice deal, just seen it 2 mins ago, how does it work? I mean, what do you have to replace over the time, anything like filters, cartridges, fillers, anything like that? How often do you do it and what's the price of any of those? Never had an electric one, I only was using ones with white flakes or something which were absorbing the moisture, sorry for silly questions then.
