Newer version of the popular AU1910DD, which was the highest rated desiccant dehumidifier according to choice.

This does have a small tank. According to Ausclimate it's only 2L. Amazon description suggests over 3L. I'd trust the manufacturer.

Desiccant dehumidifiers are the best (and only) option for cooler weather.

Not many reviews out there if at all.

  • I wish there was a premium one with a fan that doesn't rattle at low speed

    • which do you recommend?

      • I think they all have the same noise. They work well though, just not great for trying to sleep

  • +2

    Your other option for a desiccant dehumidifier is the Breville All Climate 2-in-1 Dehumidifier & Purifier - LAD358TTM - for $382 from The Good Guys Commercial if you have access.

  • Bought this one a few months ago. Works perfectly in home assistant since it's just another TUYA device. Just a bit noisy to fall asleep. I schedule it to run at 4am up to 8am everyday in the bedroom so I won't be affected by the noise. The other dumb desiccant dehumidifier that I have has the same noise level so I guess they all do. It does have some small issues, like once the tank door sensor went off in the midnight beeping at me every now and then (tank not detected, and detected, and so on) .Otherwise works perfectly fine.

    • How do you find the practicality of the tank size at just 2L?
      Have you used the "included" app for smart control or just your own HA?

      • +1

        For me it's like emptying tank every 2 or 3 days. It is fine since I don't have anything bigger to compare with. I only use HA to control them. You can also use TUYA app to control them. I don't even ever used their app since it's just TUYA.

  • Why have this and not the 25L one if they cost the same and that one extracts more? What’s the trade off and why does one choose a smaller unit?

    • Also curious about this

      Compressor dehumidifiers only work when it's hot. If you live in a cold climate "Desiccant dehumidifiers are the best (and only) option" as per the description.

      A little more info from the manufacturer: https://help.ausclimate.com.au/hc/en-nz/articles/16808562583…

      • How many time our indoor room colder than 20C? Considering compressor use alot less energy than even at 15C compressor will be more efficient and mind you both type will produce heat that aid the compressor efficiency..

        • Do you know if a compressor type works fine in a room about 16 deg? I also have an aircon that heats the room to 20deg often.

  • Been on the hunt for something like this for a drying room we're building. Would much prefer one that has a drainage hose, rather than a tank.

    • This comes with a hose to drain via gravity.

      • +1

        No hose- but you can buy one and it will work easy enough. Old model had hose in box.

        Have both. This works about as well as the other.

        • +2

          Oh really? The (seemingly manufacturer-supplied) picture on the listing states a drainage hose is included.

          • +1

            @destroyer661: I have this wifi one. The hose is packed in the drainage tank

            • @orza: Thank you, not sure how I didn't find this before, and it does say on the box. Nicer hose than the original too.

    Ausclimate really missed the mark by not clearly labeling their products as either desiccant or compressor dehumidifiers. That distinction is essential for consumers, especially in Australia where climate conditions vary so much. A simple naming tweak could save people a lot of confusion and ensure they choose the right model for their needs.

    for example, this ACD200 is desiccant while the ACD225 is compressor.

  • I have the previous AU1910DD model and it works great, even in winter.

    I will note that it's interesting the newer model is currently cheaper, even directly on the ausclimate website. unless there's something that makes the old model superior i never really understood this.

    • It fluctuates, sometimes one is cheaper then sometime the other is cheaper

      • I understand. I am saying I don't understand why that's a thing where a newer model is ever cheaper than the older one.

        Unless there's something about the older one that is superior in some way.

    Same price @ Costco

  • I was looking at this for a 20m2 basement room - but its power draw is up to 610W. Probably about 400 on low mode (not listed anywhere, just guessing from the older 10l dessicant model they have listed).

    My question is - if this can cover 50m2 would it dehumidify a small room very quickly and not need much run time?
    Also, if the room only gets to as cold as 16 degrees in winter, would a compressor dehumidifier also work just fine (has about 50% the power draw). The ausclimate contact line isn't exactly helpful so its hard to get definitive answers. I read some reviews of compressor types freezing over in cold rooms, despite being in the range listed on ausclimates website.

    Ended up purchasing so i'll be able to post a review in a few days if anyone interested

  • For Perth, which type of dehumidifier is recommended? Compressor or desiccant?

    • It depends - do you have an air con? How big is your home?

      I use it in winter when it's humid in my small apartment and opening the window doesn't help because it's humid outdoors. In summer the air con on cooling dehumidifies sufficiently to not need one. In winter the temp is too cool for the air con (or a compressor dehumidifier) to reduce the humidity.

      • Yes, I do have a centralised aircon at home. Considering a dehumidifier for one of the kids' room (less than 20m2) which is particularly humid in winter (alot of condensation inside the window during winter). If I only need to run it for winter (when the temp is low and rains alot), desiccant would be better, correct? Thanks :)
