Ecoair DC12 vs DC18, what are the differences? Differences in specification between the DC12 and DC18 Compact in size, the DC12 is a powerful weapon in the fight against condensation, damp, mould, and other problems caused by excess moisture. It can extract 12 litres of water per day, and comes with an 3.5 litre integrated tank – all this for a price normally restricted to lower end models.EcoAir states the unit's energy consumption is 300W - 580W depending which mode you have it running in. At current energy prices of 30p per kilowatt hour of electricity, that means the dehumidifier costs between and 9p and 17p per hour to run. It does, however, include an automatic mode that switches off the machine when the ambient humidity and temperature are at acceptable levels. This is a great time saver and can also reduce your energy bills.

A side effect of this difference in capacity is that the DC12 is 2dB quieter. This might not sound like much, but remember that the decibel scale is logarithmic so this is a noticeable difference. The DC12 is also 2.5 kilograms lighter so it’s easier to carry. Summary Some comments were negative about its running costs, especially when left on for prolonged periods of time, and there's no denying it is more expensive to run than many compressor dehumidifiers, so if you won't be operating it at low temperatures then a compressor dehumidifier may be more cost-effective. I found the economy mode on the EcoAir DD1 Simple MK3 was pretty quiet. It’s like a dull hum, and I didn't really notice it when I had the dehumidifier running whilst the TV was on or I was working at home.Overall,I was really impressed by the performance of this unit, and the simplicity of the controls meant that it was straightforward to get it to work.
