Amazon shoppers rave about 'efficient' dehumidifier that 'dries a full load of laundry in hours'

Over 5,300 Amazon customers have reviewed the Meaco MeacoDry ABC Dehumidifier

Dehumidifiers can be a significant investment, but they're an economical solution for drying clothes, eliminating window condensation and reducing excess moisture in the home. Amazon is offering a 12L dehumidifier that customers are raving about, with one purchaser claiming it's 'cheaper than cranking the heating up' for drying clothes.

The online behemoth is retailing the energy-saving Meaco MeacoDry ABC Dehumidifier, which costs approximately 3p per hour to operate, for £169.99. The device boasts low power consumption and optimised energy use, making it affordable and practical for daily use to keep condensation issues at bay.

The dehumidifier uses significantly less electricity than tumble dryers. It features a dedicated laundry mode that operates for six hours before automatically shutting off to conserve energy and your hard-earned money. It also includes a handy feature where you set the desired humidity level. It will turn itself off when the humidity target is reached, only turning back on when it senses a rise in humidity.

The Meaco MeacoDry ABC Dehumidifier can be used to eliminate condensation, warm the air, and prevent damp walls, odours and mould. Over 5,300 Amazon customers have reviewed the 'quiet and efficient' gadget so far, giving it an overall rating of 4.7 out of five, reported the Express.

One pleased customer gave it top marks, stating: "Dries a full load of laundry within six hours. I've had this for coming on two years, it's brilliant for the damp UK winters where it's impossible to dry anything. Put this in a room on laundry mode and come back to dry, fresh clothes. Cheaper than cranking the heating up."

Another satisfied purchaser wrote: "I'm very impressed. Easy to set up, quiet and it's doing a great job. We should have bought one years ago. We live in an old house and have damp walls - the machine is delivering 12 litres of water a day and the room smells much better. 100% recommend."

A different individual added: "The amount of water this machine has pulled out is astronomical. I can honestly say we have not had one drop of condensation since using it. We also have a smart meter and can see that it doesn't use a lot, despite being on 24/7. I am so impressed and extremely glad I bought it. I told my parents about it and they have now bought exactly the same one, for the same reasons. They are also equally impressed and over the moon with the difference it has made."

However, a few customers commented on the dehumidifier's mobility. One person explained: "It has no wheels which makes it less easy to move."
