Taking a tour of that interface for the first time reveals core controls that are brilliantly simple. Once you’ve tried it out then setting up the Meacodry ABC 10L Dehumidifier for different rooms is dead easy. Central to this is the humidistat button, which allows you to configure your preferred humidity removal level. It’s possible to set target relative humidity in increments of 5%, which is pretty precise really given the reasonably budget appeal of the machine. Automatic defrost - increases water extraction whilst saving energy when used in lower temperatures Meaco have added easy-to-use controls with a display showing the current room relative humidity. You can set your target relative humidity in increments of 5%. The control panels come in a range of colours so you can choose whatever fits best with your home and style. Like most dehumidifiers, the Meaco dry ABC works by drawing air from the room onto a refrigerated coil. Moisture collects here due to the cold temperature, and is trapped inside the dehumidifier tank, removing it from the atmosphere. How easy is the MeacoDry ABC Dehumidifier to set up?

Bought Meaco ABC 12l low energy for DD's damp university flat. Seems to collect an awful lot of water. Desperately needed though as old Edwardian flat, with extensions built on, and cold even with heating on. She has to dry clothes inside too which doesn't help."(Recommended by Mumsnet user KnittedCardi) Our verdict Featuring the latest low-noise and energy saving technology the 10 litre MeacoDry ABC is their quietest compressor dehumidifier, awarded a Quiet Mark, making it perfect for smaller homes and flats that want superior performance without the noise of a large machine.
