This is a great value dehumidifier that offers excellent performance and quiet operation. It's proven to reduce or eliminate mould spores, condensation and other damp issues and helps to improve the quality of the air you are living or working in. We have introduced technology that reduces the time that your dehumidifier needs to run, helping to lower your energy use and ensure that the unit is only working when it needs to. Instead of running continuously, or just turning off when the target relative humidity is reached, the Meaco DD8L Junior runs for five minutes when the target is reached and then turns itself off. After 30 minutes, it turns on again, re-checks the target and either runs again until the target is reached, or turns itself off again if everything is fine. It repeats this process every 30 minutes, so your unit is only running for 1/6th of the time of a standard unit, keeping your costs to a minimum. Dry your laundry with the DD8L Junior Laundry mode, which dries your washing faster and prevents water from the clothes from doing any damage around the home. You can also select a quiet fan speed, independent of the relative humidity that you might wish to select. This ensures that the DD8L Junior will stay in quiet mode whenever you want absolute quiet, so you can use it overnight without disturbing your sleep. And, importantly, the DD8L Junior turns off when the internal bucket is full and the bucket itself has a splash proof cover to make sure that not a drop is split as you pour the water away.   Specifications Winner of the PBO dehumidifier tests Winner of the Sailing Today independent test Helps to prevent condensation, mould and damp issues Desiccant drying system makes this a quieter dehumidifier Particularly popular for boats, garages and workshops 8 litres a day extraction, which is equivalent to a 16 or 20 litre compressor dehumidifier Running costs from 5.02p/hour based on 15.2p/kWh New easier graphical control panel Up to 80% reduction in running costs Intelligent Meaco control system Small and lightweight Quiet operation Great for drying washing Desiccant Noise Level: 39 / 43 / 48 dB(A) depending on running mode Power Supply: 220-240V, 50Hz Power Consumption at 20°C and 60%rh: 330W Operating Temperatures: 1°C - 40°C Filter Type: Washable dust filter Tank Size: 2 litres Variable Humidistat: Between 40%rh and 60%rh Maximum Air Flow: 80 / 100 / 115m³/hour depending on fan speed Fan Speeds: 3 Meaco Control Logic: Yes Laundry Mode: Yes Auto Restart: Yes Off Timer: Yes - between 1 and 8 hours Continuous Drainage Option: Yes - hose not included Hose Dimensions (for continuous drainage): 8 x 11mm Weight: 6.4kg Dimensions (HWD): 500 x 351 x 188mm Colour: White
