A caravan or motorhome sitting on the drive through winter gets cold, and cold is where compressor dehumidifiers slow down. Desiccant models keep working in low temperatures, weigh less and are easier to lift through a narrow door. On a site hook-up the rated wattage matters too, because the dehumidifier shares a limited supply with the heater, fridge and kettle, so check the figures below against your own hook-up before you buy. Auto restart is the other must for a van left on a timer or a supply that drops out. This guide compares six desiccant units from EcoAir, Meaco and De'Longhi on rated power, weight, daily extraction, how cold the maker says they will work and whether the listing states auto restart.

## Products

### 1. EcoAir DD1 Classic MK6 Blue Desiccant Dehumidifier | Electronic Control | 7.5L/Day | Quiet 34dBA | Ioniser | Silver Filter | Laundry | Timer | 6Kg | Economy Mode | Home Garage Basement Boat

Extraction: 7.5 L/day; Rated power: 300 W; Weight: 6 kg; Low temperature: Down to 1 °C; Auto restart: Yes

A light electronic desiccant unit with economy mode, a 2, 4 or 8 hour timer and auto restart after a power cut, rated from 1 to 40 °C.

In its favour:
- 300 W is the lowest single rated figure in this guide, which leaves more of a hook-up supply free.
- Auto restart after a power cut is stated, along with tilt over stop and water full shut down.
- ECO E7S mode switches between full power, economy and standby on its own.

Good to know:
- 7.5 litres a day is modest if the van is very wet after a leak.
- The listing does not give the tank size in its bullets or mention a drain hose.

### 2. EcoAir DD3 Slimline 10L Desiccant Dehumidifier Electronic Control 10 L/Day Quiet 39dBA Anti Bacterial Filter Automatic Louvre Laundry Mode Timer Light Weight 6.8Kg 3YR Warranty

Extraction: 10 L/day; Rated power: 370 W; Weight: 6.8 kg; Low temperature: Down to 1 °C; Auto restart: Yes

The highest extraction desiccant here, with laundry mode, a timer up to 12 hours, a swinging louvre and a 1 m drain hose.

In its favour:
- Up to 10 litres a day at temperatures as low as 1 °C, the most in this guide.
- Slim 22 cm deep body is easier to fit beside a caravan seat or in a motorhome aisle.
- Supplied 1 m hose allows continuous drainage into a container or sink.

Good to know:
- 370 W rated power is higher than the DD1, which matters on a weak hook-up.
- The 3 litre tank fills quickly at full output without the hose.

### 3. EcoAir DD128 Blue Desiccant Dehumidifier | Electronic Control | 8 L/Day | Quiet 39dBA | Ioniser IonPure Filter | Laundry | Timer | 6.1 Kg | Home Garage Basement Boat

A 6.1 kg desiccant model with a 3D louvre, ioniser, 2.2 litre anti drip tank and auto restart, quoted for areas up to 66 m².

In its favour:
- Auto restart, tilt over stop and over drying protection are all listed as safety features.
- 2.2 litre tank has a lid and handle to cut spills when carrying it out of the van.
- At 6.1 kg it is among the lightest units compared here.

Good to know:
- Power runs up to 623 W on high, so it may need managing on a small hook-up.
- The listing does not state a minimum working temperature.
