Ebac 3850E

Following a mains water leak which clearly had been weeping for some time before before we actually heard the sound of rushing water (alarming). The fabric of the house displays the evidence of water damage on walls .skirtings and architraves.

This unit runs very quietly on the Smart Control setting,pulls plenty of moisture,is of quite smart appearance which certainly doesn't look out of place in a domestic environment,and is British made!

So far so good. Although, there is slight damage to the radiator which seems common as I've noticed on other people's reviews. Luckily no leaks. It looks like it's an assembly issue where it has had impact damage.
Brings my room humidity down from 50% To 29%
Empty the container every other day leave it running on smart mode unless drying clothes then I put it on laundry mode

Simple to operate, reasonably quiet and very efficient, removing several litres of moisture per day in a 'problem area'. Haven't tried any others to make a comparison, but we are very happy with both of our Ebac dehumidifiers.

Within 24hrs of receipt the first one we had was returned due to a fault. A replacement was sent and received the next day.
Excellent bit of kit. We have just moved to a 200yr old stone cottage, so with the colder weather appeared wet walls, mainly in one room. This is scheduled to run 24hrs, with its sensors kicking in when required. It also has a great 'laundry setting to help extract more moisture. Now dry walls this wjnter and a immediately warmer room.
Well worth the cost.

Poor quality item. Disappointing build quality for the price. Please see attached photos of the reservoir. Collected quite alot of water over last 48hours. Smart mode worked well and shut off dehumidifier when reservoir full.

However the reservoir top is glued and screwed together. As you can see from my photos this glue has already separated from main body. Result was a very wet living room floor from this leaking. This will be returned for a refund and alternative dehumidifier sourced.

This is the second one of these over 7 years I only got a new one due to the plastic going a little yellow due to sun. They both are very good. The new one is quiet compared with my older one.

After only 3 weeks the damp,problem has been resolved in several rooms. It works a treat. And unlike earlie models it is noticeable quieter. Would highly recommend

Bought to replace an old Ebac which served us well for seven years. This new model is lighter and smaller, and uses snart tech to automatically adjust the dehumidifier. We've seen good results in days, the condensation has been eradicated. This is kept in a bedroom, and the noise is not upseting, it's much quieter than the old model. Overall very pleased, British made, good quality, good price, what's not to like

Awesome! Does what it says on the tin! May seem a lot of money but worth every penny. I have a large 4 bed house and it's perfect.

I have been using the

We purchased this (not from Amazon) for our british Victorian house. We had damp problems in cupboards, bathrooms, north facing walls, condensation on windows etc. I used a hygrometer/thermometer before we purchased one to analyze the problem. There were real variations in humidity in the house from room to room. Within a day of using this in Smart mode the transformation was great. No damp or mustiness in the air and a much more comfortable feeling in the house. It took a day and a half to remove the...

After a disappointing experience with a Duracraft I bought the Ebac 3850e from Ebac Direct because they offer a free five year guarantee. The dehumidifier is up and running, nice and quiet, and seems very efficient (time will tell).

But BE AWARE the spec is incorrect on Amazon (and for that matter on some other online retailers such as Appliances Direct and P&M Coppack):
1. There is no 'built-in carrying handle', just two small indentations at the top on each side that you can get three...
