I've had an ebac 2650e for about five years and it works well enough,

looking to buy a second dehumidifier for upstairs.

Most of the reviews seem to be focussed on features and appearance, so
I thought I'd ask the group for their opinions on a decent
dehumidifier that works well and is likely to last a few years like my
ebac.

Not sure if I want another refrigeration unit or a dessicant, so
recommendations for either are welcome.

After a bit of looking-around (and I think I asked here) I bought a
Meaco DD8L (Which best buy 2014-2018) last year, so far so good
Have had a Meaco DD8L for about 5 years. It's in the garage/workshop
tostop my tools getting rusty.Â* It's plugged in all the time. Every 1/2
hour it turns itself on for a minute and measures the humidity, if the
humidity is high it continues to run until the humidity falls to a set
value. Has worked well with no problems.

Spraying tools with WD40 would be cheaper:-)


Sealing a concrete floor that has no DPC with 2-part PU flooring
paint might help too.
