The DDSX220 is the plain version of De'Longhi's AriaDry Multi, without the Wi-Fi and filter upgrades of its WFA sibling. It is for buyers who want a 20 litre a day compressor machine with a generous bucket, and who are happy to press buttons on the unit rather than use an app. What sets it apart is a 5 litre tank paired with a lower power rating than the connected model.

In its favour
- A 5 litre tank is one of the largest here, so it suits a damp house that fills tanks quickly.
- Three fan speeds and a timer are listed, with a clothes drying function in the title.
- At 430 W it draws less than the Wi-Fi DDSX220WFA version.
Good to know
- The listing gives very little detail, with no room size or noise figure.
- There is no app or Wi-Fi control on this version.
Our take
A thin listing, read carefully
This is one of the least detailed listings on the site. The bullet points are generic statements about value and quality, so the useful facts come from the title and specification table. Those give 20 litres per day of extraction, a 5 litre tank, three fan speeds, a timer, a 430 W rating, 220 V and a two year warranty.
The title also mentions a clothes drying function, anti mould operation and a low noise level, but no decibel number is supplied. Floor area is not stated either, so room size guidance has to come from elsewhere.
What the numbers mean at home
A 5 litre tank is a practical advantage in a damp house in October, when 3 litre buckets can fill before lunchtime. The upper operating temperature is listed at 30 °C, normal for a compressor unit, and the weight is 12 kg, which is lighter than the 13.5 kg Wi-Fi version.
The dimension field reads 8 by 5 by 31 cm, which is clearly not the size of a 20 litre dehumidifier, so ignore it and measure your space generously.
Compared with the DDSX220WFA and Dimplex EverDri
Against the De'Longhi DDSX220WFA, you give up Alexa control, the RealFeel mode and the four stage filter pack with HEPA E12, but you save 60 W on the rating. Against the Dimplex EverDri 20L, you gain a much larger tank, while the Dimplex offers a visible water level, a comfort light and a carbon filter that this listing does not mention.
Who should skip it
If you want to control the machine remotely, or need allergen filtration, this is the wrong version. It also does not suit anyone who needs a published noise figure for a bedroom.
Verdict
The DDSX220 suits a buyer who wants De'Longhi's 20 litre platform with a big tank and simple controls, and who does not need smart features. Pick the De'Longhi DDSX220WFA if Alexa and HEPA filtration matter, or the Meaco Arete Two if a stated quiet rating is the deciding factor.
