EcoAir DC12 MK3 review

EcoAir DC12 MK3 Compact Dehumidifier

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
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.

Best for
A cheap, compact compressor unit for a heated room.
Skip it if
The space drops below 15°C

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.

What we like

  • The cheapest full-size unit here
  • 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

ⓘ As an Amazon Associate, PreparedBritain earns from qualifying purchases. We may earn a commission when you buy, or a fee when you request a quote, through our links. When two products are close, commission can decide which one we pick. A clearly better product always wins. Amazon prices come from Amazon's own product data and show the date and time they were retrieved. Prices at other retailers are checked by us, less often. Prices and stock can change at any time, so always check the retailer's price before you buy.

Who shouldn't buy this

Don't buy it if the space drops below 15°C — EcoAir's own DD1 Simple MK3 is rated to 1°C for broadly similar money.
