Ebac 6200 Reviews

“Great looks, flatters to deceive”

Written on: 10/11/2012

Echoing the majority of reviews. I had a well made old ugly Ebac for 10+ years that worked really well. My nice looking Ebac6100 has worked for just 2years 10months i.e. just out of warranty. It seems I was lucky - failure wasn't due to a leak but simly either control board or refrigerant. Either way I'm advised it's not a cost effective repair! Being keen to Buy British whenever sensible, I was about to give Ebac the benefit of the doubt. But then I read these reviews. Now there's no way! ... (read more)

“Poor manufacturing and lack of quality control”

“Woeful”

Written on: 24/04/2012

I can only echo the other reviews. I purchased this back in 2008 to replace a prem-i-air (non-compressor dessicant) dehumidifier that had broken down. At that time there weren’t many reviews of this machine and I couldn’t afford the Mitsubishi equivalent (extra £80) at the time, which was reviewed as class leading. It did look great, but that’s where it all went wrong. The performance of the machine was not great and the noise seemed excessive. As other reviewers have mentioned,... (read more)

“I'm having a very very different experience!”

The reviews on this site puzzle me and very nearly put me off buying Ebac at all. But sometimes, on the internet, reviews and reviewers are not what they seem. My experience is very different to the other reviewers here. When I was doing my research on which dehumidifier to buy, the reviews on this site left me wondering what on earth was going on. I had learned that Ebac had been known as producing superb quality dehumidifiers which went on working well for year after year and they were... (read more)

“Poor Quality”

Written on: 13/01/2012

Mine worked for 12 months but then has been back to the factory for repair three times in the last nine months. It has leaked. It has consistently failed to extract any water from the atmosphere. And it is now so noisy that we can hear it from any room in the house. Poor British workmanship and poor value - avoid. (read more)

“Falls way short of expectation and unreliable ”

Written on: 30/10/2011 by suaimhneas

I have owned and run older model ebac products for many years without problems and have recommended them to many people. On this basis I bought a 6200 and a powerpac in 2008 and both have failed in the first year and needed to be returned under warranty. The 6200 has now been returned twice for repair. The first time it was because it sounded so loud as if it was a vacumn cleaner on full bore. You could not leave it running in a house whilst you were in it. The second time flooded the floor...

I have bought an Ebac 6100 direct from the manufacturer. The first unit failed to pump the water to the reservoir and was returned. A replacement unit was sent to replace the original one but after a month or so the pump failed again. However, I didn't realise that the water was leaking from underneath the unit through the carpet. Ebac have given me a full refund and in all fairness I have no criticism of the level of service given. I just can not recommend that anybody buy the 6100. (read more)

I bought an Ebac 6200 in 2007 and after a month or so it was exchanged by Ebac because of noise. The second unit has been back to them four times because of the same fault....it sounds like a worn out supermarket freezer! The unit is placed in the hallway of our 3 bedroom semi. We can't leave it on overnight because it is so noisy. At today's date (Nov 2010), it's now waiting to be returned a fifth time. It was fortunate I extended the warranty to five years. In November 2009, totally... (read more)

Written on: 27/10/2010

Worked fine for 3 years (just out of warranty), then compressor packed up. The cost of repair was £170. We have another dehumidifier of a cheaper make that has lasted 8 years with next to no maintenance, and cost only £160 for the whole machine. Sorry but I won't be buying Ebac again. (read more)

Written on: 03/10/2010

I hade a previous Ebac dehumidifier for over 10 years which gave excellent service, so when it finally failed I decided that Ebac would be my preferred manufacturer. What a mistake, the unit has been replaced twice, and had now totally failed, its very noisy, and does not live upto my pervious experience of Ebac products. The customer service from Ebac was very poor, I don't know what has happened to this market leader but it no longer holds the No1 position in the dehumidifier market in my... (read more)
