Meaco 20L Low Energy
High Performance Dehumidifier
Not everyone needs a high-performance dehumidifier, but those who do will often find themselves with little choice in which model they can choose. High performance usually also means high energy usage, which can wreak havoc on your electricity bills. If you find yourself in this predicament, the choice just became a little easier. The Meaco 20L Low Energy Dehumidifier gives you the high-performance functionality that you need while also still catering to your wish to conserve energy.
The performance of this dehumidifier is no joke. This model can support dehumidifying of up to 5 bedrooms, or up to 250 square meters, making this a top-end model that may be overkill for smaller homes or apartments. For those with larger homes, though, it may be exactly what you need, especially if your home suffers from dampness in areas due to high humidity. This model has a moisture removal rate of up to an astonishing 20 L / day, making it one of the top-performing dehumidifiers you can find. The 6 L tank capacity is also the largest of all models we have reviewed here, giving you plenty of water storage before needing to empty it. Of course, if the location of the dehumidifier permits, this model does also support continuous drainage.
Energy Conserving Features
As stated before, although this is a high performance dehumidifier, it also is one that helps in conserving energy usage. This is a big deal for dehumidifiers, as these devices often tend to use lots of energy, but this model has a few tricks up its sleeve to help cut down on your energy bills. This model includes the Meaco control logic functionality that they build into most of their dehumidifiers. You can set the desired level of humidity in your home, and when that level is reached, the dehumidifier will automatically switch to fan mode, helping to save on energy usage. The programming of this model also lets you set it to run for only a specific amount of time, so you won't have to worry about keeping an eye on it.
There is plenty else to love about this dehumidifier outside of its ability to help save on your electricity bill. This model includes a HEPA filter that removes allergens and bacteria from the air, giving your home fresh and healthy air for you to breathe. Moving the device from one location to another is also easy, thanks to the wheels on the bottom which let you simply roll it on the floor instead of having to pick it up and carry. All told, with its combination of high performance and low energy usage, any large home will find this dehumidifier to be a welcome addition.

Pro Breeze Dehumidifier
Make Your Basement Pleasant
Anyone who has a basement in their home knows that they can be less than ideal rooms for spending a large amount of time in, which is a shame. Many basements offer a large amount of extra room for a house that can be used for a wide variety of purposes, but the high humidity levels in most of them make them unpleasant places, with an icky feeling along with mouldy smells that makes anyone want to spend as little time in them as possible. What is needed for helping to greatly improve the conditions in a basement is a dehumidifier, preferably one that is powerful enough to amply dehumidify the large space.
The Pro Breeze Dehumidifier 20L/Day with Digital Humidity Display is just what anyone needs in order to make their basement have more pleasant conditions. This device has high performance and can normalise the microclimate even in a very damp basement, turning a once uninhabitable area into extra living space. You will also be pleased with the volumetric water tank, which does not have to be emptied too often, allowing you to run it for long periods of time before needing to empty it out. This is exactly what most people need in order to turn their basement into an area that is actually pleasant to spend some time in.
Great for Any Room
This dehumidifier isn't just limited to being used in basements. This is a stylish dehumidifier that can be used for any living space, even for large apartments. The device contains an easy-to-read LED display that reflects all operating parameters, along with convenient electronic controls that allow you to set the optimum comfortable humidity level, and using the timer function, you can set the start and end of the device. These features combined with the large water tank means that you can just set this device to run and let it operate for long periods of time without needing to be dealt with.
Despite its great performance, the energy consumption of this device is quite minimal, which lets you use it for long periods of time without causing a huge spike in your energy costs. This is accomplished by the advanced humidity sensor which lets you set the exact level of humidity that you want, letting the device run until it reaches that level and then turning off automatically. The device will then turn on again periodically to ensure that the humidity level stays at the desired level. With its high performance and its great compliment of features, anyone who needs a powerful dehumidifier for a large room or home will find this model to be one of the best ones available.

Meaco 10LB MeacoDry
COMPACT AND EFFECTIVE
Dehumidifiers aren't typically known for being stylish or even decent looking devices. In fact, they can be rather bulky and ugly, not something that is pleasant to leave out in the home for extended periods of time. However, believe it or not, there is one device that definitely bucks that trend. The Meaco MeacoDry Dehumidifier ABC Range 10LS is a compact, stylish, economical, and quiet dehumidifier that will be a pleasure to have in your home. This dehumidifier works quietly, making it a great fit for a home where it needs to run overnight, and its economical capabilities mean you won't have to worry about it making your electricity bill skyrocket.
When comparing its size directly to other dehumidifiers of its range, you won't see much difference in size, but the compact styling of the device makes it more of a decoration rather than some big ugly lump of plastic sitting on the floor. The curved nature of the device makes it seem smaller than it really is, leaving a small footprint and being easy to place out of the way, while also taking up less space if you need to move it to the middle of the room. Moving the device around is easy thanks to the wheels located on the bottom, meaning you can just roll it out of the way whenever you need to move it.
PERFECT FOR SMALL HOMES
This isn't the highest performing dehumidifier on our list, as it is best used for smaller homes, with the ability to dehumidify up to 2 bedrooms, or up to 40 square meters. However, that doesn't make it any less useful than any of the other models. In fact, this dehumidifier has a few features that may place it ahead of the competition. One of these extremely useful features is Laundry Mode, which is perfect for use in a room where wet laundry is hung out to dry. Just select the mode, and it will run for 6 hours at full speed and then automatically turn off afterwards. When it is finished, you should find your laundry completely dry.
Another great feature included in this model is antifreeze protection. This is great for when you need to dehumidify rooms during cold weather. This mode prevents the water from freezing, which would, in turn, prevent the device from operating properly. The device also has the ability to be preprogrammed for operating for certain periods of time, although it should be noted that programming this device can be a bit clunky. However, once it is programmed, you can run it and leave it without worries of anything bad happening. In the end, this small dehumidifier gives you a great selection of performance and convenience and even a flash of style.

Pro Breeze 12L/Day
Customise Your Atmosphere
One of the benefits of having a home is that you get to shelter yourself from the outside elements. Regardless of what the weather is like outside, your home should be nice and comfortable, with the atmosphere of your choosing. However, some weather conditions have the inevitable effect of causing the air in your home to not quite be to your own choosing, especially humidity and dampness. Both of these things in the home can be very unpleasant, as well as leading to even potentially harmful effects on your health. That is where a good dehumidifier comes in to save the day, and provide comfort to your home.
The Pro Breeze PB-06 Dehumidifier is a good portable dehumidifier that can help you make your home more comfortable. This compressor dehumidifier can remove up to 12 litres of water per day from the air, which is certain to be more than enough for a large room or basement. Leaving such humidity and dampness can often cause the air to grow stale, and also helps dangerous moulds and other harmful elements from growing and proliferating in your home, but this dehumidifier can remove as much of the dampness and humidity as you need to give you fresh, clean air and to remove bad odours that might occur as a result of dampness.
Plenty of Options
This portable dehumidifier may be small, but that doesn't mean it isn't powerful enough to help your home feel more comfortable. In fact, this dehumidifier is quite powerful and contains plenty of options to help you create the most comfortable atmosphere in any room in which it is placed. This device features four modes, including Normal, Low Power, High Power, and Laundry. The Normal mode is usually sufficient for most rooms that have a problem with dampness, but the Low and High modes also give you options for rooms that may need more or less dehumidifying. The Laundry mode works especially well for rooms where you hang up laundry to dry, ensuring that your clothes dry quickly and evenly without sporting any odours.
This dehumidifier comes with a continuous drainage hose that lets you drain the water that is collected, allowing you to dispose of it as you desire. The controls are quite simple, with a touch panel that gives you clear settings and an LED screen to show the current settings of the device. You can even set auto on and off timers for the device, giving you the ability to run it without having to turn it off later. A defrosting function is also included, which can really come in handy during the cold winter mornings. This portable dehumidifier has plenty of both options and power for anyone in need of such a device.

Pro Breeze 1500ml
Noiseless Operation
Many air dehumidifiers use compressors, and they have a major drawback - noise. It might cause discomfort for people who hate noise or who use a dehumidifier at night. And if you wish to enjoy an ambient indoor atmosphere and hear no noise, the best choice for you is the Pro Breeze PB-03/UK air dehumidifier. This appliance operates using Peltier technology, which means it doesn't have a compressor and dehumidifies the air by means of a thermoelectric converter. Thus, the model includes no moving parts and works really quietly. This makes this appliance an ideal model to use in a children's room - it will create a healthy microclimate and make no noise at all.
The water tank of the air dehumidifier is relatively large, with a capacity of 1.5 L - large enough for operating for 3 days of continuous use before needing to be emptied (0.5 L per day). And when the tank gets filled up with water, the appliance shuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of the unit overflowing with excess water and making a mess. This compact air dehumidifier is suitable not only for bedrooms and bathrooms but for garages and basements too. The unit is quite small, so you can move it from one room to another without much effort.
No Allergy Issues
One way in which dehumidifiers can be of benefit to people is by removing allergens from the air that are often attached to water particles, and this is one of the ways in which this particular unit excels. In addition, it helps blitz other health risks such as dust mites and dangerous moulds by reducing the humidity level of any room to below 50%, thus removing the ideal environmental factors for such things to breed and multiply. On top of that, excess water particles tend to carry many other things that can trigger allergies, so the less humidity in the air, the better allergy sufferers will feel.
Another good use for this dehumidifier is by removing condensation that accumulates on windows when there is a large difference in indoor and outdoor temperatures. Such accumulated condensation tends to stick around in the room after it evaporates, and not to mention the mess that condensation tends to leave on uncleaned windows. If you don't want the possibility of condensation forming on your home windows, then this dehumidifier can help.
At the end of the day, anyone who is looking for a highly productive dehumidifier that will help clean and make the air in your home healthier will find this model to be quite up to the task.

What Is a Dehumidifier?
There's always humidity in the air, but what can you do if it's too much? The humid air is a great environment for the proliferation of fungi, mould, unpleasant odours, and so on. All of this can have a really negative impact on human health, and the only way to solve this problem is to make the air less humid with the help of a special appliance such as a dehumidifier. This device removes excessive moisture from the air. Modern dehumidifiers can also clean or even heat up the air, helping to make it much better for a person's lungs and overall well-being. Such devices are often used with young children who may be highly susceptible to air-borne illnesses, as well as for any room that may have issues with having an excessive amount of moisture. Dehumidifiers can find a place in most any home, and thankfually, even the best ones are generally not very expensive, putting them well within the budgets of most people.
However, if the air in your house is, on the contrary, too dry - make sure to check out our shortlist of the best humidifiers that will help you make the air more humid.
If you wish to control the microclimate in your house, you should consider using one of the superb thermostats from our review.
What Features to Compare
Performance
The first thing you need to consider when selecting a dehumidifier is its performance which is largely based on its dehumidifying capacity or, in other words, the amount of water the device is able to squeeze from the air per day. This parameter is measured in pints per day (i.e. 24 hours) and can vary from as little as 0.5L to 20L and more. A good dehumidifier should be able not only to remove excess humidity but also maintain it at the optimal level afterwards, and is expected to demonstrate great performance allowing you to dehumidify your living space rather quickly. Take note that if a unit isn't powerful enough, it might get overheated during work. Another thing worth checking is the maximal coverage area a dehumidifier you choose can hit - it should be the same size as the area where you plan to install it.
Controls
Moving on, make sure the dehumidifier has easy-to-use controls and features a humidistat to maintain the air humidity at an optimal level without your control. Also, check whether the device has a timer. It may come in handy when you're not at home or you want to run the device during the nighttime. Often included are different indicators making it easier for the user to monitor how much liquid's been collected inside the tank and whether it's time to empty it. Some of the better models also may feature LCD screens. Though not mandatory, these added extras can make the use of the dehumidifier much more convenient.
Health Safety
You should also consider the safety features of a dehumidifier. Most of them will come including some filters (washable) so that they can help not only solve the problem of excess humidity but also trap harmful airborne bacteria causing respiratory issues. Make sure these filters are washable and it's easy to take them out of the casing. You can also find dehumidifiers with ultra-violet lamps. Those in addition to trapping bacteria will kill it ensuring that the air in your place is completely clean and safe to breathe. Though a bit more expensive, they are ideal for asthma-sufferers and people sensitive to allergies.
Convenience
Finally, consider the features determining how convenient using a dehumidifier will be. First thing first, check the size of a model. Dehumidifiers may come in various sizes ranging from portable and compact units to bigger ones specially designed for large premises. Secondly, check if the chosen model has a set of caster wheels to allow you to easily move it across the room. If this is a portable model we're talking about, then it should have carry handles. Other than that, see how easy emptying the water tank will be. Many models allow for direct connecting with a sewage system so that the water doesn't gather inside and you won't need to drain it manually. Those are usually stationary models that are designed to be used round-the-clock. You can also find models with built-in pumps forcing collected water up for further drainage. As you can see, the market offers a whole range of models for every taste and budget. All you need to do is make up your mind and choose the one that fits your needs best.
