Amazon dehumidifier that 'dries laundry in six hours' and is 'brilliant for damp winters'

Reduce excess moisture in the home and dry your laundry this winter with the Meaco MeacoDry ABC Dehumidifier.

Dehumidifiers can be a bit of a costly purchase, but they're an economical solution for drying clothes, eliminating window condensation and reducing excess moisture in the home.

Which is why it can be handy to look for any affordable options on the market. One that is getting rave reviews is a 12L dehumidifier on Amazon that is said to be "cheaper than cranking the heating up" for drying clothes.

The Meaco MeacoDry ABC Dehumidifier, which costs approximately 3p per hour to operate, is available to buy for £159.99. With low power consumption and optimised energy usage, it is affordable and practical for daily use to keep condensation issues at bay.

The dehumidifier uses significantly less electricity than tumble dryers, featuring a dedicated laundry mode that operates for six hours before switching off to save energy and money. There's also a handy feature where you set the desired humidity level and it will turn itself off when the humidity target is reached, only turning back on when it senses a rise in humidity.

The Meaco MeacoDry ABC Dehumidifier can be used in any room to remove condensation, warm up the air, and prevent damp walls, odours and mould. Over 5,300 Amazon customers have reviewed this 'quiet and efficient' gadget so far, giving it an overall rating of 4.7 out of five.

One pleased customer gave the dehumidifier top marks, sharing their experience: "Dries a full load of laundry within six hours. I've had this for coming on two years, it's brilliant for the damp UK winters where it's impossible to dry anything. Put this in a room on laundry mode and come back to dry, fresh clothes. Cheaper than cranking the heating up.", reports the Express.

Tech deal of the week

Calling all tech lovers, as we have found a bargain tablet means to "compete" with major brands on the market.

The Honor Pad 8 is an Android tablet that has been recommended by many renowned media organisations around the world. On Amazon, it has been reduced from £269.99 to just £139.20 - saving shoppers just over an impressive £130 off the RRP.

With its 12-inch full view display with built in multiple eye protection levels, this tablet offers a truly "immersive experience" for users. The sleek, lightweight design with curved edges has been designed so you can hold it easily in one hand.

It's also said to offer an "unrivalled" audio experience, thanks to eight large cavity speakers placed symmetrically on both sides. Meanwhile, it runs using an extra large battery that offers a full day of uninterrupted use, making it ideal for online classes, personal use and work.

Currently averaging a 4.6 rating based on hundreds of Amazon reviews, the Honor Pad 8 has earned a popular reputation from shoppers who say they "can't praise it enough" and that it "competes with huge brands without a sweat".

One glowing review read: "The brand lives above the name. Honor Pad. This pad competes with huge brands without sweat. Buy with confidence."

A second similar review read: "Amazing tablet and far better than branded ones I have had. The screen size is perfect for doing pretty much anything really and all runs smoothly with quick response to opening apps etc. Battery is a bit thirsty but it's still good and charges pretty quick."

Another satisfied user exclaimed: "I'm very impressed," adding detail about their particular usage: "Easy to set up, quiet and it's doing a great job. We should have bought one years ago. We live in an old house and have damp walls - the machine is delivering 12 litres of water a day and the room smells much better. 100% recommend."

A third customer was astounded by the performance: "The amount of water this machine has pulled out is astronomical. I can honestly say we have not had one drop of condensation since using it. We also have a smart meter and can see that it doesn't use a lot, despite being on 24/7."

Expressing similar contentment, another buyer said: "I am so impressed and extremely glad I bought it. I told my parents about it and they have now bought exactly the same one, for the same reasons. They are also equally impressed and over the moon with the difference it has made."

Not all reviews were about its performance; one critique highlighted convenience issues, stating: "It has no wheels which makes it less easy to move."
