Dehumidifiers: got an Ecoair DC12 4 years ago, works very well. Can certainly pull out 4 - 6l in 8 hours or so.
A month ago, I became convinced that it wasn’t working as well as it should, and got a Ebac 4250, at around twice what I paid for the Ecoair. I am coming to the conclusion that it is nowhere near as good and that there is bugger all wrong with the Ecoair. I’ve experimented with different locations and settings and have yet to get it to take out more than about 1 - 1.5l / per day. Ebac’s guff suggests not to fiddle with settings, just put it on “smart”, and let it do its thing whereby it supposedly learns about its environment.
The Ebac does use less power though. I am beginning to think this is purely because the fan is relatively feeble compared to the Ecoair.
