The Ebac 2650e
We have a dampness problem in our flat. It’s damp and cold. When I get clothes out of my drawer, they’re damp and they were dry when I put them in–really, they were. So we decided to get a dehumidifier to remedy the problem.
After doing some shopping around, we settled on a sleek, white Ebac 2650e. Now this is a good machine. It dehumidifies three rooms, has an auto-shut-off feature, is “noiseless,” and only costs 2 pence a day to run.
The noiseless part is completely untrue. The steady hum of the fan makes it hard for me to think. I don’t know about the auto-shut-off feature because I’m so excited to see how much moisture it’s sucked out of the air that I empty the tank every two hours. I’ve been watching the pounds tick off our pay-as-you-go electricity meter, and I’d say it costs a lot more than 2 pence a day to run. This is true though, it really does suck the moisture out of our small two bedroom flat. It also sucks the moisture right out of my eyes. It doesn’t say anything about that in the instruction manual.
Needless to say, I’m not loving the dehumidifier, but my husband is committed. He doesn’t seem to mind dry eyes.
