Good Housekeeping Magazine Tried and Tested said – “The Meaco DD8L Zambezi dehumidifier impressed us by scoring well at extracting moisture from an outdoor environment, so it’s ideal for garages or other out-buildings. It is nice and lightweight, so it’s also easy to move about with the added help of a carry handle.“
This is probably the best domestic desiccant dehumidifier in the world.
Suitable for use in apartments, small houses, RVs, garages, boats, caravans, holiday homes – in fact anywhere you have a damp problem.
Why?
The DD8L Zambezi offers more functionality, more control and more options then any other domestic dehumidifier on the market today.
So What Makes the DD8L Zambezi Special?
The DD8L Zambezi is the result of three years of intense development and sees the incorporation of several ideas that have come directly from customers themselves. It offers more options that any other dehumidifier and an attention to detail never seen before.
Zambezi has 6 World Firsts, these are:
The Digital Display
Having the display provides simplified access to a wealth of features requested by customers during the design process for Zambezi.
No other dehumidifier has the functions of the Meaco Zambezi.
Sterilising Ioniser
Other dehumidifiers have ionisers but no other domestic dehumidifier has an ioniser like Zambezi! Ionisers on dehumidifiers have an effective range of around one metre and only deal with dust. Zambezi uses Sterlising Ioniser+ technology clinically proven to destroy viruses, bacteria, mold, odours and germs over a 10m range. No-one other domestic dehumidifier in its class has the air cleaning functionality of the DD8L Zambezi.
The Meaco Energy Saving Laundry+
When you set other desiccant dehumidifiers into ‘Laundry Mode’ they just run continuously at full wattage (circa 650 watts), it is just really a relabelling of the continuous function.
Zambezi is cleverer than that, it continuously monitors the amount of moisture in the air around your clothes and will vary its electricity usage between 650, 350 and 40 watts to ensure that your clothes are dried as cheaply as possible.
No other dehumidifier dries clothes like the Meaco Zambezi.
The Meaco Turn Me On
Zambezi wants to protect your home and should you turn the dehumidifier off but leave it plugged in to the mains and the relative humidity in the room goes above 70%rh (when mold grows) Zambezi will ask you to turn him on in order to bring the humidity back down to a more comfortable and mold free level.
No other dehumidifier looks after your home like the Meaco Zambezi.
The Meaco 20+ Control
If you leave your dehumidifier and then walk away if you have put it on the wrong setting and the relative humidity increases then there is nothing that can be done. Worse still if you leave your dehumidifier to look after your garage, boat, caravan or holiday home then the room will suffer until you finally return, possibly too late to prevent damage by mold, rust or damp.
Zambezi looks after your belongings by increasing its fan speed if the relative humidity increases 20%rh above your set point to protect your treasures.
No other dehumidifier things like the Meaco Zambezi.
The Meaco Timer+
The feature that customers really wanted. Not just an off timer, but an On Timer, Daily Run Timer and an Off Timer, giving you complete control over when Zambezi turns on or off and allowing you to control your electricity consumption completely.
Want Zambezi to turn on and off at a particular time each day – no problem. Want Zambezi to turn on 2 hours after you have gone to bed – no problem. Want Zambezi to turn off 4 hours after you left it to dry the laundry – no problem.
No other dehumidifier gives you complete control over time like the Meaco Zambezi.
More Great Features Include
The Charity Tie Up
With the Meaco DD8L Zambezi we wanted to incorporate all of the features that customers have requested over the years and to make the dehumidifier more interesting by incorporating some personality into the machine. If we were to do this with an elephant then we felt very strongly that we should make a £2 donation every time a Zambezi is sold to help conserve elephants in the wild.
This is how the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation got involved and we are grateful to acclaimed wildlife artist Jonathan Truss for his drawings of the happy and sad Zambezi that you see on the control panel.
By purchasing this dehumidifier you are buying the most advanced and flexible dehumidifier that we have ever produced and you will be helping the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and their Elephant Orphanage in Zambia.
So whether you need a dehumidifier for a flat, some help to dry your washing, a dehumidifier to prevent damp in a large house, one to look after your garage, boat or caravan then Zambezi is quite simply the most advanced dehumidifier that you could currently buy.
It comes with a two year parts and labour warranty to give you piece of mind.
