What is a Dehumidifier?
A dehumidifier is a household appliance designed to reduce and control the humidity levels in a room or an enclosed space. It works by drawing in the moist air, extracting the excess moisture, and releasing dry air back into the room. Dehumidifiers are commonly used in areas with high humidity, such as basements, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, to maintain a comfortable and healthy environment.
Using a dehumidifier offers several benefits, particularly in combating issues related to mold and cough. Excessive moisture in the air can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which can trigger allergies and respiratory problems. By reducing humidity levels, dehumidifiers inhibit mold growth and help alleviate symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and congestion. They create a healthier living environment by reducing allergens and improving indoor air quality.
De'Longhi dehumidifiers are certified by the Allergy Standard Foundation* as a product suitable for people suffering from asthma and allergies, allowing you and your family to breathe easier and feel more comfortable.
For a healthy home, some of our dehumidifiers have 4-Action Filters to capture the majority of air pollutants that are harmful to your health. By removing 99.96%* of airborne particles, by capturing ultra-fine particles such as pollen, dust, mould, bacteria and pet dander right down to 0.1 microns, they reduce the risk of developing asthma and allergy symptoms.
The anti-mold function of the app helps to track the humidity. You can easily monitor functions, operating times and the recommended values to maintain the ideal humidity between temperature and humidity in your home.

Which is Better: Dehumidifier or Air Conditioner?
Dehumidifiers and air conditioners serve different purposes, although they both contribute to a comfortable indoor environment. Air conditioners primarily cool the air. On the other hand, dehumidifiers focus specifically on reducing humidity levels without lowering the temperature. If your main concern is high humidity, a dehumidifier is the ideal choice. However, in hot and humid climates, using an air conditioner with dehumidification capabilities can provide a comprehensive solution.
