DeLonghi Tasciugo AriaDry Multi 16L Dehumidifier with Laundry Drying Function, DEXD216RF

DeLonghi Tasciugo AriaDry Multi 16L Dehumidifier with Laundry Drying Function, DEXD216RF

If you've ever tried to dry a load of washing indoors during an Irish winter, you'll know the problem: steamed-up windows, a house that smells faintly of damp laundry, and clothes that are still clammy two days later. The DeLonghi Tasciugo AriaDry Multi is built with exactly this in mind — alongside tackling general damp and condensation, it has a dedicated Laundry mode that puts the unit into maximum extraction to dry indoor washing far faster than leaving it on an airer alone.

At the heart of it is a 16-litre extraction capacity (per 24 hours at 32°C and 80% relative humidity), pulling serious volumes of moisture out of the air in rooms or single floors up to 75m². A 3-stage filtration system (dust, allergen and active carbon filters) means the air coming back out is cleaner as well as drier, and the unit carries Asthma & Allergy Friendly certification.

Simple electronic controls with a built-in hygrometer let you set and hold a target humidity level, while delay start and stop timers (1, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours) mean it can be set going before you head to bed or out for the day. A continuous drainage hose is included for unattended long-term use, and integrated handles make it easy enough to move between the utility room and wherever the clothes airer happens to be that week.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Laundry mode actually help dry clothes indoors?

Pressing the dedicated laundry button switches the unit to its maximum dehumidifying output and runs it continuously (rather than cycling on and off to hold a target humidity). By constantly pulling moisture out of the air around your airer or clothes horse, it speeds up evaporation from wet fabric considerably compared to just leaving washing to dry in a closed room — particularly useful in an Irish climate where outdoor line-drying isn't reliable for much of the year.

Will it also help with damp, condensation or mould, not just laundry?

Yes — the Laundry mode is a specific high-output setting, but day-to-day the unit runs as a standard dehumidifier, removing up to 16 litres of moisture every 24 hours and holding a target humidity level via the built-in hygrometer. That makes it just as useful for steamed-up windows, musty smells, and mould-prone spots as it is for laundry.

How big a water tank does it have, and how often will I need to empty it?

The tank holds 2.1 litres. Given the unit can extract up to 16 litres of moisture in a 24-hour period when working hard, the tank can fill several times a day during heavy use — for unattended, longer sessions (like an overnight laundry dry), we'd recommend connecting the included continuous drainage hose to a nearby drain instead of relying on the tank alone.

What size room is this suitable for?

It's rated for rooms or single floors up to around 75m², so it comfortably covers an open-plan living space, a utility room, or a full small-house floor rather than just a single small room.

Does it come with a timer?

Yes — it has a delay start and delay stop timer, selectable at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours, so you can set it to switch on before you get home or switch off automatically overnight.
