Why buy me
- Quiet enough for a bedroom or nursery: At just 34 dB(A) it is the quietest model across De’Longhi’s AriaDry / Evo ranges, so it can keep working while you sleep.
- About 4.6p an hour to run: Rated at just 175W, it costs around 4.6p an hour at the 26.32p/kWh Ofgem price cap.
- Dry your washing for about 18p: Laundry mode optimises fan speed and extraction to dry clothes on an airer – around 18p for a 4-hour session, without steaming up the windows.
- Empty it less often: The 4L tank is almost twice the 2.1L tank on the AriaDry DEX range and stops the unit when full – or use the supplied hose for continuous drainage.
- Stops damp before it turns to mould: Removes up to 10 litres a day (at 30°C / 80% RH) to tackle condensation, damp and musty smells.
- Fresher-smelling air: An active carbon filter helps neutralise household odours, while the anti-dust filter catches larger particles.
- Keeps going when it’s chilly: An electronic anti-frost device lets it run in rooms from 2°C, and it restarts automatically after a power cut.
- Natural refrigerant, easy to carry: Uses R290, a natural refrigerant with a very low global warming potential, with a clear digital display and integrated carry handles.

The details
The Tasciugo AriaDry Start DEP210 is the quietest model in De’Longhi’s DEP line-up, built for the rooms where noise matters most. At 34 dB(A) it can run through the night in a bedroom, nursery or studio flat, removing up to 10 litres of excess moisture a day (at 30°C / 80% RH) to keep condensation, damp patches and musty smells in check.
It is cheap to run, too. Rated at 175W, it costs about 4.6p an hour at the current Ofgem price cap, and its dedicated laundry function speeds up drying clothes indoors – around 18p for a 4-hour session, without the condensation that comes from drying on radiators.
The 4L tank is almost twice the size of the previous generation’s, switches the unit off when full and lifts out for emptying – or connect the supplied hose for continuous drainage. An active carbon filter helps tackle odours, an electronic anti-frost device keeps it working in rooms down to 2°C, and it restarts automatically after a power cut. It uses R290, a natural refrigerant with a very low global warming potential.
