A smart dehumidifier earns its place when the app does something useful: setting a target humidity while you are out, running to a schedule, or warning you before the tank fills. The apps vary a lot. Some only switch the machine on and off, others log energy use or link to Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home. This guide compares six Wi-Fi models on what each listing says the app actually controls, then on the dehumidifier underneath: daily extraction, tank size and filters. Treat the app as a bonus on top of a machine that suits your home, not a reason to buy an undersized one. Where a listing does not mention tank alerts or voice control, we have written Not stated rather than assume it.

No. 1 · Meaco
Meaco Arete Two 20L: Meaco app plus three voice assistants
20 L/day

- Laundry mode runs for six hours and then switches off, according to the listing.
- Intelligent humidity mode stops at your target level and restarts when humidity rises.
Good to know

In its favour

No. 4 · Ariston
Ariston Deos 21S NET: Ariston Clima app scheduling
21 L/day

In its favour
- Quoted for areas up to 52 m², the largest recommended area among these 20 litre models.
- The Ariston Clima app sets humidity and schedules running times from your phone.
- Super Laundry mode sets the fan speed from the humidity and temperature it senses.
Good to know
- Noise, wattage and tank size are not stated in the listing.
- The title says 21 L/day but the bullets say 20 litres a day, so expect the lower figure.
Listing title: Ariston Deos 21S NET Dehumidifier 21L/Day - Ideal for Damp Home
No. 5 · Masterplug
Masterplug 12L smart dehumidifier with SmartEnergy app
12 L/day

- App schedules let you start a drying session at a set time.
Good to know
- No louvre or airflow direction feature is described.
- The listing does not give a believable tank size.
