# De'Longhi dehumidifiers compared: Tasciugo AriaDry and DDSX range Source: https://dampanddry.co.uk/best/delonghi-dehumidifiers-compared Publisher: Damp and Dry. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://dampanddry.co.uk/how-we-pick De'Longhi sells its dehumidifiers under the Tasciugo AriaDry name, and the model codes are easy to mix up. The range runs from a small 6 litre zeolite unit that suits cold rooms, through 10 and 16 litre compact machines, up to the 20 and 21 litre DDSX models and a 30 litre unit with a lift pump. Most have a laundry function, and the higher models add HEPA filters, Wi-Fi or Apple Home support. This page puts seven of them side by side by daily extraction, tank size, power draw, laundry function and filters, using only what each listing states. Start with the extraction rate for your home size, then use filters and connectivity to choose between models of a similar size. ## Products ### 1.
