EcoAir DC12 MK3 Compact Dehumidifier review

A cheap, compact compressor unit for a heated room.

By Tom Calder · Updated 24 July 2026 · Price checked against our tracker

Our verdict
4.2 / 5

The value compressor pick: 12 L/day at a stated 30°C/80%, 39 dB(A), and — unusually — a published power draw of 210W low and 240W high, so you can work out the running cost before you buy. The catch is the 15°C floor, the highest of any full-size unit here, which rules out exactly the unheated spaces people most often have in mind.

What we like
  • The cheapest full-size unit here, at roughly £129–£140
  • Publishes its power draw: 210W low, 240W high
  • 39 dB(A) from a genuinely compact body
Worth knowing
  • Rated only from 15°C — not for an unheated garage or a cold conservatory
  • Two-year warranty, shorter than EcoAir's own three-year desiccant cover
  • 2L tank fills quickly when the unit is working hard
