Dimplex keeps the EverDri 20L simple, and that is the appeal. It is a 20 litre a day machine for someone who wants to set it, glance at it and know whether the room is where it should be. The distinguishing feature is the comfort humidity light, which changes colour to show whether the air is too dry, too damp or on target, so there is no need to interpret a percentage reading.

In its favour
- The comfort light turns green at the set humidity, red when too dry and blue when too humid.
- A washable pre-filter plus a separate active carbon filter for odours are included.
- The 3 litre tank is clear, so the water level is visible, and it shuts off when full.
Good to know
- The listing does not state noise or a reliable power figure.
- No continuous drainage option is mentioned in the listing.
Our take
How the comfort light and humidistat work
The electronic humidistat lets you choose a target level, and the light tells you how the room is doing against it. Dimplex describes three colours: green once the set comfort level is reached, red when the air has become too dry, and blue while it is still too humid. A timer and automatic shut off sit alongside it.
For a household where several people use the machine, a traffic light style indicator is easier to read than numbers on a small display.
Tank, filters and maintenance
Water collects in a 3 litre clear plastic tank, so you can see the level from across the room, and the unit stops when it is full. Filtration is a washable pre-filter with a separate active carbon filter for odours, which helps in a musty spare room or a hallway with damp coats.
A rinse of the pre-filter every few weeks is the main routine task. The listing does not mention a continuous drainage outlet, so expect to empty the tank by hand.
Room size and specs
Dimplex quotes the EverDri as ideal for large rooms of 47 square metres, with extraction dependent on settings. It has two fan speeds, a 30 °C upper temperature rating, measures 24 by 31 by 55 cm and weighs 13.5 kg. Overheat protection is also listed. The wattage field shows 21 W, which is not credible for a compressor model, and no noise figure is given.
Placing it against its neighbours
The Whirlpool DE20W5252 offers a larger 6.5 litre tank but a far smaller quoted room of 30 square metres. The Ariston Deos 21S NET covers more floor area and adds app scheduling. The Dimplex is the one to pick when easy feedback and odour control count for more than smart features.
Verdict
The EverDri 20L is a good match for a family that wants a dependable 20 litre machine with an at a glance status light and a carbon filter. If you would rather empty a bigger tank less often, consider the Whirlpool DE20W5252, and if you want app scheduling for a larger house, the Ariston Deos 21S NET is the alternative.
