The Best Dehumidifier In The World!
1. Meaco DD8L Zambezi Desiccant Dehumidifier
The Meaco Zambezi was released in early 2016 and set a new benchmark in dehumidifier technology. The unit contains 6 new features which have never been seen on a dehumidifier previously.
Meaco was kind enough to send us a prototype model (1 of only 5 that were in existence) and we were blown away by the power and features that the unit offered.
Everything on the Meaco Zambezi is powerful from its condenser which allows the unit to extract more than 8 litres of water per day to the ioniser which extends out over a 10 metre range from the dehumidifier.
Our favourite feature is that you can set the dehumidifier to come on in the middle of the night (or before coming home from work) so that you can wake up with condensationles windows. You can also set the timer once so that it comes on at the same time every day without manually setting the daily.
Of course the Meaco Zambezi also comes with Meaco’s Control Logic energy-saving technology which allows you to save up to 80% of running costs. Even the dehumidifiers Laundry Mode has an energy-saving feature to make the unit as efficient as possible.

If you suffer from hay fever, asthma or other respiratory problems the EcoAir DC202 might be the ideal dehumidifier for you.
Respiratory problems can be caused by dirty air and the EcoAir DC202 has a 3 stage filtration system to clean the air very thoroughly. The filtration system consists of two charcoal filters, a deodorizer and an anti-allergic fabric. The filtration system also features silver nano technology.
