What stands out?
- 16 litres a day on a 205W rating – more than a quarter less power than the DEX216F†
- 38 dB(A) whisper-quiet operation
- 4L tank with level window, auto-stop and continuous-drainage hose included
- Four swivel castors and a carry handle
- Adjustable humidistat, 12-hour timer and laundry mode
The details
The Tasciugo AriaDry Evo DEP216 brings big-room capacity to De’Longhi’s low-energy line-up: up to 16 litres a day (at 30°C / 80% RH) for rooms up to 75 m³, on a 205W rating. That is more than a quarter less power than the DEX216F†, and about 5.4p an hour at the current Ofgem price cap.
At 38 dB(A) it is quiet enough to leave running overnight. Laundry mode boosts fan speed and extraction to dry washing faster indoors – about 22p for a 4-hour session – while the adjustable humidistat and 12-hour timer let you set it and forget it.
A 4L tank with a level window, auto-stop when full and a continuous-drainage hose in the box mean less emptying, and four swivel castors with a carry handle make it easy to move. It uses R290, a natural refrigerant with a very low global warming potential, and is made with a minimum of 30% recycled plastic.
Why buy me
- 16 litres a day on just 205W: More than a quarter less power than De’Longhi’s 16L DEX216F – the same rated extraction for lower bills.
- About 5.4p an hour to run: At the 26.32p/kWh Ofgem price cap, and around 22p to dry a load of washing in 4 hours – against around 55p for a typical heat pump tumble dryer.
- Big-room capacity, bedroom-quiet: Removes up to 16 litres a day (at 30°C / 80% RH) in rooms up to 75 m³, at a whisper-quiet 38 dB(A).
- Nearly twice the tank: A 4L tank with a level window – almost double the DEX range’s 2.1L – plus auto-stop and a continuous-drainage hose in the box.
- Four castors and a carry handle: Roll it to whichever room needs it this week – bathroom, bedroom or the spare room with the airer.
- Set it and forget it: The adjustable humidistat holds the humidity you choose, and the 12-hour timer handles the rest.
- Laundry mode: Boosts fan speed and extraction to dry clothes faster indoors – no more washing draped over the radiators.
- Cleaner air as it dries: Active carbon and anti-dust filters help tackle odours and dust as air passes through, with an anti-allergy filter to trap finer particles.
- Anti-allergy filter
