Product Information

The water tank is on the small side, but you may not mind emptying it out regularly as long as it works quickly and quietly. Protect your dehumidifier against the cost and hassle of unexpected failure and give yourself some added peace of mind with one of our great value extended warranties! Thanks to a drainage hose, the tank does not need to be emptied and DD8L can be used with minimum supervision. Competitor dehumidifiers will continue to operate in ‘fan-only’ mode however the DD8L’s will turn their fans off ensuring greater energy savings. Desiccant dehumidifiers are popular where people want a quieter, lighter dehumidifier or where the space is cold and would benefit from some warmth.

Most user feedback praised this model for its relatively quiet running and effectiveness when used in rooms with cold external walls that caused dampness and musty-smelling soft furnishings.This type of handle is fine for a 2 litre water tank but for a 3 litre container you will certainly need both hands to lift it if the container is full. This gives you the perfect balance between protecting your environment and keeping costs to a minimum. As the temperature starts to fall towards 10°C then the chances are that the inside of the dehumidifier will get close to freezing, increasing the chances of ice forming on the dehumidifier’s cooling coils. It's a brilliant dehumidifier that extracts water quickly whether working at room temperature or in colder conditions. The Meaco DD8L Zambezi features an intelligent Meaco Laundry+ system, which will help you dry your washing faster.

This is why below around 15°C compressor dehumidifiers are programmed to spend up to two thirds of their time defrosting themselves rather than dehumidifying. Fitted with control logic feature, DD8L is energy efficient, which means that you can keep its running costs low. This Meaco exclusive control logic is available on the Meaco DD8L, the whole Low Energy and ABC range, the Meaco DD8L Junior and the Meaco DD8L Zambezi and only Meaco make desiccant dehumidifiers that do this. Downstairs we usually have either the heating on or the stove burning which keeps the downstairs sitting room nice and warm.This lightweight, compact, dehumidifier is very portable, works brilliantly in a range of temperatures and is quiet compared to many'- Which? It’s also a highly reliable unit that uses the very best domestic dehumidification technology available today. DD8L Zambezi uses a different air cleaning method using a sterilising ioniser that combats dust, dust mites, viruses, mould, bacteria and odours. Some dehumidifiers have variable speeds so we check how much noise each one makes at its highest and lowest settings.

If the humidity gets to more than 20% above your target, the machine will boost its fan speed to quickly bring levels back under control. The Meaco DD8L Zambezi dehumidifier impressed us by scoring well at extracting moisture from an outdoor environment, so it's ideal for garages or other out-buildings. After 30 minutes the dehumidifier toggles into fan only mode for 5 minutes while it samples the air for the new RH level. This is handy for drying laundry indoors as well as DIY jobs such as drying wet walls so that you can apply another coat of paint faster.This star rating reflects a combination of different ease-of-use tests, including how simple it is to use the controls, whether emptying the water tank is likely to cause any problems, and whether it's easy to move the unit around. If you want to position it on the upstairs landing to work on drawing moisture from the air from family baths or showers and then move it downstairs to dry a load of laundry indoors, it is not too large or heavy to move around as you need it. Suitable for use in flats, apartments, all sizes of house, cellars, garages, boats, caravans, holiday homes and, in fact, anywhere you have a damp or condensation problem, the Zambezi offers more functionality, control and options than any other domestic dehumidifier on the market today. The Meaco DD8L boasts the same award winning performance of the DD8L Junior but with the added benefit of an ioniser and antibacterial filter.

The company that make it are into elephant conservation which is okay but the elephant icon has a sad face when it needs emptying which is absolutely stupid! It is also fitted with an anti-bacterial filter and an ioniser to help keep the air cleaner, which is especially important homes where family members suffer from allergies. However a 3 litre water tank is ideal if you want to run the dehumidifier throughout the night to fight condensation. At Meaco we manufacture and sell an equal amount of both types of technologies, so we are uniquely placed to give unbiased advice on which would be best for your needs. However, I only gave you a four star rating as I did not receive the Topcashback payment as advertised.

With standard desiccant dehumidifiers, you don’t know the humidity level, only that the dehumidifier works to remove moisture. One of the most positive benefits of this dehumidifier is its ability to dry a load of laundry within two to three hours, meaning you don’t need to leave laundry hanging around the house for days to dry. Initially this control panel can look quite daunting but take it from us that within a few minutes you will know exactly how the control panel works. Yes, it is plain white and discreet looking, but it has a boxy design and would sit uncomfortably in a modern, contemporary home interior. The extremely quiet noise level of the unit means that you can comfortably place this dehumidifier in a hallway or bedroom.
