Amcor DC830H

Advantages: Easy to use, efficient, good value for money
Disadvantages: Heavy to carry

...We recently had our damp cellar converted into a living room, although despite the membrane and water extraction pump, there was still some dampness in the air. We bought the Amcor DC830H to remove moisture and to heat the room, as there is no radiator in there. The unit is designed to remove moisture (up to 15 litres a day) from a 4-bedroomed house, although at present we are just using it in the cellar. After just a few hours it felt drier, warmer and much more comfortable. The tank holds 6 litres of water and has a cut-off function and tank-full light to tell you when it's full and to prevent overfilling and spilling. There is also a humidistat feature, so you can have the heater or air purifier working without the dehumidifier if you wish. Overall, I'm really pleased with it.... Read review

Advantages: Price, performance and convenience.
Disadvantages: Lack of humidistat, bulky/heavy to carry home.

...I recently bought an Amcor TC100 dehumidifier from b&Q. I was attracted to the product because of the price (only £108). Having purchased it I found it very easy to set up and use. It's performance was very good - clearing most ofthe damp mustiness from my flat within 24 hours (extracting over 3 litres of water). Naturally, in a larger home this would take longer (it is rated for houses with up to 3 bedrooms). The only drawback is that it does not have a humidistat (adjustable humidity control), but considering the price this is acceptable. I found the unit quiet and discreet in opperation, and think it would be ideal for anyone in a smaller home with ventilation problems. One finial thing - as the unit is quite heavy 16.5kg - it is ot a good idea to take it home on the bus (although it is possible!)... Read review
