  • Most features

    21 L/day

    De'Longhi DDSX220WFA: Wi-Fi, Alexa and HEPA E12

    The listing quotes a floor area of up to 90 m², the widest reach among these picks.

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.
