Review of Secco Wall Mounted Dehumidifier by Steve Verney

I have two of the stylish wall mounted dehumidifiers one used for clothes drying in the UK and the other at our villa in Spain to stop dampness through the winter months and this unit works really well for both applications. I use both with the auto drain option and I was very impressed how easy they were to install, with simple electrical connectors, a template supplied to get the 3 holes in the right place and with a simple hook system for hanging them on the wall.

I think the Secco 12 litre dehumidifier is excellent in my utility room where I use it for drying laundry. It’s quiet for a refrigerant dehumidifier, its low profile means it can sit on the worktop under a wall unit whereas others are too tall to fit in that space, the fan is powerful so circulates air well in the room, it seems to be more effective than other dehumidifiers I’ve used because it extracts more moisture than others that have been rated with higher extraction, it has set points down to 35% which is great for drying washing quickly (others go down to just 40%RH) and can run continuously, the removal of the water storage tank from the front is much more convenient than those where the tank is at the back and it provides copious amounts of distilled water for ironing or can be run into the sink if you don’t want to keep the water.

Review of SeccoMust Dehumidifier by Tracey Thompson

Over the last year I have been using a Seccomust Digital dehumidifier to remove moisture from my main living area.

We recently extended our house and installed an oak floor in the new open plan area, some 48m square. We found within a month or so, that the floor was expanding due to moisture and that the oak boards were ‘cupping’ which was very disappointing.

We were recommended by the ‘Air and Water Centre’ to purchase a dehumidifier in order to remove any excess moisture originating from the new plaster walls and because we have our kitchen in this area which is also a source of moisture.

I am extremely pleased with the results, as the floor boards have now shrunk back to their original shape.

The dehumidifier has performed very well, removing at least 10 litres of moisture, or a full tank every few days. I like the fact that it has a big tank and has automatic set-point controls to regulate operation. It also expels warm air which acts as a small heater and keeps that whole are quite warm.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this dehumidifier.

Review of Boneco 18L Dehumidifier by Tim Scott

I’ve got a Boneco 18l dehumidifier in our laundry room. With two young kids we need to dry at least one load of washing each day.

The room is small, so the compact size of this unit is ideal. It’s very quiet and will fully dry a load of washing overnight.

Review of Ruby Dry Dehumidifier by Duncan Buxton

I’ve been running a Ruby Dry dehumidifier in the same room as a supposedly larger capacity “20 litre per day” dehum and the Ruby wins hands down. Even the though Ruby is supposed to only take out 6 litres per day it’s always got more water in its tank than the other one when they’ve been running for the same time.

When you look at the small print for most dehumidifiers the outputs they claim aren’t real as they are tested at high temperatures and humidities. When they are used in actual life they don’t remove anything like what they claim.

The Ruby works so well as it doesn’t matter whether its used in a cold or a hot room. It also gives off a bit of heat which helps in my cold spare room too.

Excellent dehum. Thoroughly recommend.

Oh.. and it’s light too. Easy to move around.
