The AriaDry Pure DDSX220WF is the De'Longhi to consider if your home runs on Apple devices. It is the only dehumidifier on this site whose listing states Apple Home Kit integration, alongside Wi-Fi control through De'Longhi's AriaDry app. It suits an iPhone household that wants a 21 litre a day machine to sit within the same Home app as its lights and heating.

In its favour
- The only pick here with Apple Home Kit integration stated in the listing.
- Removes up to 21 litres of moisture in 24 hours, per the listing.
- A 12 hour device timer and five fan speeds are listed.
Good to know
- The listing is partly in German and gives few details on filters or tank size.
- It is far dearer than other 21 litre models here for a similar extraction rate.
Our take
Smart features
Wi-Fi connectivity links the unit to the AriaDry app, and Home Kit support means it can be added to the Apple Home app and, by extension, controlled through Siri and automations. A 12 hour device timer is built in, and the LCD control panel uses soft touch keys for anyone who prefers the buttons on the unit.
The listing does not mention Alexa or Google, which are the focus of the De'Longhi DDSX220WFA.
Capacity and specs
Extraction is up to 21 litres in 24 hours. Amazon lists 460 W, five fan speeds, a 35 °C upper temperature rating and a weight of 13.5 kg. The capacity field gives 5 litres, which matches the bucket on related AriaDry Multi models, though the tank field contradicts it with 21 litres, so treat 5 litres as likely rather than confirmed.
The dimensions shown, 10 by 15.1 by 23.6 cm, are not plausible for this class and should be ignored.
A partly German listing
The product title is written in German and describes the unit as a dehumidifier and air purifier with a laundry function, suitable for allergy sufferers. The English bullet points do not explain the filters, so buyers wanting detail on purification should check the manual or the maker's own documentation before relying on it for allergies.
Compared with the DDSX220WFA and Meaco Arete Two
The De'Longhi DDSX220WFA offers the same extraction with Alexa control, RealFeel and a fully described four stage filter pack, including HEPA E12. The Meaco Arete Two supports Siri as well as Alexa and Google, adds an H13 HEPA filter and a stated 38 dB. The AriaDry Pure stands out only for Home Kit, so its appeal depends almost entirely on which smart home platform you already use.
Verdict
Buy the AriaDry Pure DDSX220WF if Apple Home integration is a must and you are happy with a thinner listing. If you use Alexa, the De'Longhi DDSX220WFA gives clearer filter details, and if quiet running and HEPA filtration matter, the Meaco Arete Two is the better all round choice.
