Meaco Air Dehumidifier DD8L Zambezi - Desiccant Energy Saving Dehumidifier - Best For Outdoor Areas and Homes Up to 5 Bedrooms - Prevent Condensation, Mould & Damp - 548 x 358 x 200 mm

Product Information

The Zambezi water tank features an anti-mould coating which is a cool new feature. After all isn’t it ironic that after placing a dehumidifier away for storage you pull it out only to find mould in the water container when it has not been dried properly? The Zambezi contains many more features which are discussed in-depth in the ByeMould Meaco DD8L Zambezi review. Final Thoughts This is a major difference between Meaco dehumidifiers and their competitors. Competitor dehumidifiers will continue to operate in ‘fan-only’ mode however the DD8L’s will turn their fans off ensuring greater energy savings. An anti-bacterial filter combined with the Zambezi ionizer provides a very clean air with lower positive ion levels for easing of allergy symptoms, greater relaxation and lower stress and anxiety levels. Dehumidifier Timer Function As it has an internal heater, and higher wattage, a desiccant will add warmth to a space, particularly useful in the winter months, and for spaces that do not have any heating like garages and sheds. They are often used as an alternative to installing heating. The Meaco DD8L Zambezi has two heater settings at 330 watts and 650 watts. By setting the dehumidifier to single fan speed the heater will never go above 330 watts and by selecting a humidity setting of 60%rh you will minimise the dehumidifiers running time.

Meaco 8L/Day Dehumidifier for home DD8L Zambezi with Digital

In general a desiccant works better at low temperatures, and extracts more water than a compressor. When we use our Meaco DD8L Compact we usually do so by placing it upstairs on the hall landing. Downstairs we usually have either the heating on or the stove burning which keeps the downstairs sitting room nice and warm. The temperature on the landing upstairs would be well below 20°c (around 16°c – 18°c actually) so a desiccant dehumidifier is perfect for this type of usage. Our Extended5 Year Warranty from Buy It Direct gives you the reassurance that if an electrical or mechanical fault arises you won't be exposed to costly repair bills. Our dedicated technical team will take care of your dehumidifier. There is nothing wrong with the Compact and as stated we own one ourselves and are very happy with it.

The Zambezi is a great all-rounder that is excellent at extracting plenty of moisture out of the air of larger homes. It won’t let you down no matter where you position it in your house. You can choose your ideal moisture level and set the dehumidifier in five per cent steps between 40-70 per cent humidity. A dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air and reduces humidity levels; creating healthier and more comfortable environments. A dehumidifier can alleviate and prevent issues like, condensation, mould growth, damp and musty odours 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. If you struggle with moisture in the air and humidity levels at your home, buying a dehumidifier is a perfect solution to your problem.

This provides a level of accurate dehumidification that is over-kill for domestic applications, however. The alternative provided by most compressor dehumidifiers is for the dehumidifier to turn off when the relative humidity target is reached. This saves energy but does mean that the dehumidifier potentially misses increases in relative humidity and could allow organic materials in the home to absorb the excess moisture and mould to grow. For more information about the differences between desiccant and compressor dehumidifiers please watch our handy explainer video: The Zambezi water tank has handles for ease of lifting on its sides whereas the Meaco Compact water tank features a handle in the middle of the tank. 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. The Meaco Compact features a standard dehumidifier control panel which you can work very easily if you’ve worked a dehumidifier before. All the features and settings are logically laid out in a row and you will easily grasp how the unit works.The DD8L Zambezi has a Which? Best Buy, has six world firsts, and offers more functionality, more control and more options than any other domestic dehumidifier on the market. The range of features, and the quality of those features, on the Zambezi is simply not matched by the Meaco Compact however these features also come at a price and those watching their budget may want to choose the Meaco DD8L Compact. We like that the Meaco Air DD8L Zambezi dehumidifier has a digital display panel. With standard desiccant dehumidifiers, you don’t know the humidity level, only that the dehumidifier works to remove moisture. Adding a digital display makes it a more user-friendly model for homeowners that want to see at a glance if the air in the room is at optimal humidity. However a 3 litre water tank is ideal if you want to run the dehumidifier throughout the night to fight condensation. Again Meaco has innovated with the Zambezi as the Zambezi contains an energy-saving feature within Laundry Mode.
