👍

Perfect product delivered from UK

Acquistato per cercare sollievo nelle notti afose. Ho scelto questo modello/marca dopo varie ricerche. Definito il più silenzioso che ci sia: non posso dire che sia rumoroso, benché alla velocità minima, di notte, in camera da letto per poter dormire io devo mettere i tappi, sono però molto sensibile al rumore e senza completo silenzio non dormo. Senza rotelle: chissà perché non le hanno previste, bastava veramente poco per renderlo più pratico. Pesa circa 12kg, non molti magari, ma non è agevole spostarlo. Io lo lascio fisso in camera da letto, ma lo devo comunque spostare un minimo per lavare i pavimenti. Per agevolare lo spostamento e per proteggere il parquet ho messo i feltrini sotto. Utilizzato per la prima volta con caldo tropicale , scorsa notte, 29,5 gradi in casa: con anche le pale a soffitto accese in camera da letto, ho dormito bene, senza sudare. Sopporto comunque bene il caldo. la stanza non era fresca, ben inteso, il deumidificatore non rinfresca, ma grazie alla riduzione dell'umidità ha reso la temperatura seppur alta più sopportabile. Non mi aspettavo nulla di più se non appunto rendere le notti afose più secche. Nulla a che vedere ovviamente con un climatizzatore. Altra caratteristica che mi ha spinto ad acquistarlo è il fatto che il display si può spegnere pur lasciando il deumidificatore funzionante, così da evitare fastidiose luci in camera da letto di notte. Ultimo punto a favore è il fatto che la vaschetta raccogli acqua ha un coperchio, così che quando la si toglie per svuotarla non c'è il rischio di versarla per sbaglio sul pavimento. Tenete presente che arriva con spina inglese. Serve quindi un adattatore oppure dovete cambiare la spina.

I bought this for two reasons. I wanted it to help me dry laundry in winter, as I don’t have room for a tumble dryer. I had also noticed some mould around a bedroom window and wanted to dry out this other room. The brand was recommended when researching online and this was recommended by Which. My reading in the mould bedroom was initially 90. After leaving it on through the working day it reduced to 56 and the tank was pretty full. I shall keep using it in there. I hung a full load of washing in a small bedroom; hoodies, trousers, sports socks etc. after six hours in laundry mode it was mostly dry. I left it on in normal mode for a couple more hours and it was thoroughly dry. This will really improve my life in winter. I don’t find it too heavy to move, but I need to carry it with both arms. Each time I’ve emptied the tank, I have moved it very carefully but there has been a very small pool of water on the floor. This might be something to do with how I’m removing it (I have wooden floors so I can see it.) When drying laundry in the small room the room felt slightly warmer than the other rooms in the house (with the heating off). There was no noticeable difference in temperature when using it in a large bedroom to dry out the room. Something to bear in mind is that mine was delivered by DPD a day earlier than stated. This suited me, but you may need to make arrangements for this if you are ordering for the one day when you will be at home. Edited to add: I have worked out why there was a small pool of water on the floor after removing the tank. As this had also been mentioned by other reviewers, I thought I would add it here. There is a small hole at the top of the door to open the tank, which I had assumed was a finger hole for removal. This meant I was tilting the door slightly after hooking it with my finger. I have discovered that the actual way to open the door is by placing fingers in the two vertical ridges to the right and left of the door. This ensures you can pull it out without tilting. No pools of water when I use this method 😊.

I don’t normally bother to review products after 12 months, but I felt I should on this occasion, as I noticed it is 12 months since I ordered this Meaco unit. I live in an old damp house, and chose this unit to try to improve matters. I wanted it to be effective, not too loud and energy efficient. The fact it was UK made was a bonus. In the last year I estimate I have run the dehumidifier 340 days. I move it around the house and probably empty 1litre of water on average a day. Now I know that’s the point of a dehumidifier, but it struck me that the performance is outstanding. It does everything it claims to do. It is quiet enough to run in a bedroom, as it does most nights, although it may annoy some I guess. It is so simple to operate and empty. Light enough to move around easily. I just wanted to say thank you to Meaco for a great product that has massively reduced the damp and mold in my still very old house.
