We have suffered for a long time with condensation and used the cheap throw away pots that helped but not a lot. But a great deal of condensation on the floor in the conservatory meant we needed to do something better. Found this company on the net and phoned for advice on the Sunday. Answered in a couple of rings and the advice we received could not have been better. All condensation throughout the house migrates to the coldest area, in our case the conservatory, but I guess that is going to be quite common. Two days later we had our MEACO DD8L in place and we have been taking up 2 litres every day since. It is quiet and fairly small, and does not look out of place , but I suppose that depends on where you put it. Do not know what the electric bill will be but the price is worth it because it has solved what was for us a big problem.
