Practical Boat Owner tester avfuktere ved jevne mellomrom. Meaco vant med sin modell DD122 FW i 2009, og de vant igjen med sin modell Meaco DD8L i 2014.
Konklusjonen fra testen er klar: "The Meaco desiccant models are the lightest in weight and will perform the best on a boat in winter. Their ability to shut down and periodically sample air should help keep their otherwise high running costs down."
