This looks to be a good price for this newer version of dehumidifier with Wi-Fi and app control.
Should help to get rid of some of this winter condensation on the inside of my windows.

Did I read the product info right? The 20L is good for 30m², but this 10L one is good for 50m².
I think that is a Compressor
Compressor vs Desiccant. Different env, same purpose
Would this be a good sale price? $349.99?
I have the older model.Great way to dry the washing on cold wet days.
How do you do it? Just put it in the same room? How much more quickly would you estimate your clothes dry?
Works best in a small enclosed room. I put dehumidifier next the drying rack and a pedastal fan rotating air across the rack. On a good day in right conditions probably dry in under 2 hours for maybe 500 watts of energy.
Put washing on a clothes airing rack.
turn dehumidifier on dry washing mode.
Close door and window in room. Come back in around 2 hours and your washing is dry and your room is also warmer too.
The model I have doesn't measure humidity so I keep thermometer with humidity sensor nearby when using it.How interesting! Never even crossed my mind of this use for them. Thanks!

How does this compare to the Breville All Climate 2 in 1 for $368 at Good Guys commercial?
Also keen to know.
Anyone have the Breville model able to comment on how it is?
I bought the Breville last week and I also own an Ionmax 632 and an Ausclimate WDH-610HE.
The smell the other person mentioned might have been the ozoney small which I actually don't mind. The Breville does air purifying which is probably what is causing the smell.
In regards to performance, I have no issues with it. I'd put it about par with the Ionmax 632 in terms of dehumidifying power. I like that the app shows what the current humidity of the air being taken in is as well as the temperature, features that obviously aren't available in my other two older ones. It makes it easy to judge whether I need to run it, and at what fan speed and power and for how long.The lowkey best feature is that it has four caster wheels. No more needing to lug something up to 10kgs by some plastic handle.
If you have any more questions, let me know.
Does the smell with the Ionmax go away after a few uses? I have the ausclimate 10L desiccant one and it smelled for a few hours but now is fine. I've read some people had to return their Ionmax dessicant ones because the smell was ongoing.
The Ionmax 632 design looks very similar to the ausclimate one I have. I wonder if they're the same unit.
@warmfruit: I've used the ionmax since 2019 and I don't recall ever remarking on the smell. There's definitely no smell now.
If money wasn't an issue, would you have got the LAD708WHT model over the LAD358TTM model?
@Mr BoMBAStiG: The first one (anti viral) claims 25L water removed a day in a 60m^2 room on the Breville website vs 8L in a 50m^2 room. However the antiviral is a compressor vs the All Climate which is dessicant (better for cold weather) I suppose it would depend on how big the room you'll be using it is and how naturally warm the room will get. If money was no object then the antiviral one would be the go seemingly on specs alone.
What sort of climate/temperautes are you using them in?
You can put a cheap temperature and humidity meter to see that info (also good to see what it is outdoors).
@wfdTamar: Where I am is really cold in winter. Like 10-15 degrees max. Humidity can go up to 70-75% and it's a big room so I can only realistically get it down to around 55-60%.
I bought the Breville and used it for 2 months before returning it.
It worked reasonably well but sometimes the dessicant gave an off-putting smell that wouldn't go away. It wasn't smelly or anything like that, but it did leave a distinct smell that I didn't quite like.
Another issue was the tank auto shut-off happens way too late.. so by the time you take the tank out to empty it, it becomes a challenge to not spill it on the way to the sink.
Thanks @Chael Sonnen , so that was the newer All climate 2 model? https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/breville-all-climate-2-in-1-d…
Yep that's the one.
Normally dessicant dehumidifiers are rated at 20degrees with 60% humidity.
This ausclimite appears rated at 30degrees with 80% humidity… leading me to believe that the 10l rating is exaggerated
Yeah that's odd, I wonder what AusClimate's marketing team was thinking.
Dessicant is best for cold weather humidity, and particularly for drying your washing indoors without stressing the fabric (like a dryer does).
The tank on this is so small at only 2L.
I have the old model which has a 3L tank. The new model looks more fancy but a 2L tank would be annoying I think. The 3L tank fills up fairly quickly.
The old model was selling for $330 a few weeks ago.
Anyone have any experience with the Ionmax dessicant dehumidifiers? I've read they can smell
I've had the 610 for quite a few years and it's fine. Works well in Tassie winters.
I bought a spare of the old 3L non-wifi one because it works so well and wanted the bigger tank.
That being said, if you need one for cold-climate dehumidification, as in need, then plumbing it in should be investigated anyway.
The older version with the bigger tank is currently the same price on Amazon
Is a compressor or dessicant better for sydney if running year round?
Rarely run our aircon during summerSounds like you can get away with a dessicant since your place sounds cooler. A dessicant will warm up a room a little bit, definitely more than a compressor one. It'll also run quieter and have a laundry mode.
Fun fact: Sydney has more annual rainfall than London so you might get more use out of the laundry mode in a dessicant if you wash your clothes a lot.
Buy based on whether you need to run one more in winter (desiccant) or summer (compressor). I bought one of each type (though rarely use the compressor type as we get so few humid days in Tassie).
Any reason not to get this one instead - 20L with wifi
