Are you drying out a newly plastered new build or after a flood?

I'm very pleased with my Eco-Air DD3 Simple dehumidifier. Very few controls or features, it just does what it's supposed to do!

I too have been looking for a dehumidifier for my granddaughter's 3 bed flat for condensation reasons.
The Eco-Air DD3 seems to use a lot of power ie 400w to 700w so would be expensive to run over long periods but it does seem to have a quiet noise rating and have a 3.5 litre tank. The Eco-Air DC18 is slightly noisier, has a 3.5 litre tank, uses only 230w and is much cheaper at £135 so I may opt for this one. I am also considering a Eco-Air DC12 and the ElectriQ 16 litre Quiet Low Energy unit which is rated at 200w and has a 4 litre tank. Any thoughts on these please.

Yes, I'm similarly happy with my DD1 Classic Mk5.

Hi,
We have the ElectriQ dehumidifier in our 3 bedroom house.
I have had expensive dehumidifiers before but I think the ELECTRIQ to be the best.

Oh, that's weird. The DC18 uses a compressor rather than a dessicant, and I thought that they were more expensive to run... :-/

I'm not sure how to compare the noise, though. The decibel scale is logarithmic, and the DC18 has quite different specs for "sound pressure" and "sound power" (I thought they were the same thing...)

That one is rated at a maximum abstraction rate of 7 litres a day. The DD3 is rated at up to 10 litres a day. I think I saw a suggestion somewhere that 7 litres would be ideal for a typical 2/3 bedroom house, and 10 litres for a 3/4 bedroom house.

I have Blyss from B & Q which I have been using for about 3 years due to high levels of condensation in my house. It does the job, stops the doors swelling and was among the cheapest at the time. That said, my mother has an Ebac which I borrowed following a flood. My hall carpet, underlay, the ply underneath and wooden floorboards were soaked through, the Ebac dried it all up within 2 - 3 days, on 24 hours per day.
