Why it sits behind the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Laundry Mode

The Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Laundry Mode (8.0) beats the Dimplex EverDri 20L Dehumidifier EVERDRI20EL (7.9): the review sites rate both about the same, and it is the newer design.

About the Dimplex EVERDRI20EL

The EverDri20EL is a refrigeration (compressor) dehumidifier rated by Dimplex at 20 litres a day. That figure is for 30°C and 80 per cent humidity. At 21°C and 59 per cent humidity the retailer's spec gives 8 litres, and at 10°C and 59 per cent it gives 2.8 litres. Dimplex lists it for rooms up to 47m³. The unit has a single constant speed and moves about 150m³ of air an hour.

Water collects in a 3L tank with a tank-full indicator and automatic shut-off. For continuous drainage there is a drainage facility, and Toolstation's spec gives an 11mm internal diameter hose. The hose is not in the box, which holds the unit and an instruction manual.

The controls are a push-button panel with an electronic humidistat and a timer. An LED display shows room temperature and humidity, and a comfort humidity light sits on the front. The timer has a 15 hour run-back and a delayed start. Dual Safety Protection and auto defrost are listed, and Toolstation lists a washable pre-filter and an active carbon filter. Operating range is 5°C to 35°C. It is white, stands 553mm high and weighs 14.4kg. There is no app or Wi-Fi.

What owners report about the Dimplex EVERDRI20EL

We found little owner feedback specific to this exact model on the UK retailer pages we could open, so we have not summed up what owners say about it.

What the maker's own figures show is that output depends heavily on room temperature. In a cold, unheated room the rated 20 litres falls to a small fraction of that, so buyers should read the figure for their conditions rather than the headline.

Who the Dimplex EVERDRI20EL suits

It suits a large, heated living space, a family home with a lot of indoor washing, or a damp room kept above about 20°C. The 3L tank is bigger than on most 12L models, and a drain hose can run it without emptying. The Dimplex name and a three-year guarantee, once registered, add reassurance.

Look elsewhere for a cold garage, conservatory or unheated room: the Meaco DD8L Pro Desiccant is built for those. For a bedroom, the Pro Breeze OmniDry 12L Quiet is rated under 36dBA, against roughly 42dB here. For a bigger tank at a lower cost, consider the Pro Breeze 20L Premium, and for a built-in air purifier the MeacoDry Arete One 20L.

Questions about the Dimplex EVERDRI20EL

Does the Dimplex EverDri 20L dehumidifier come with an instruction manual?

Yes. Toolstation lists an instruction manual in the box with the unit. Dimplex support also publishes manuals for its dehumidifiers.

How loud is the Dimplex EverDri20EL dehumidifier?

Dimplex lists it at 42.4dB(A). That is a steady compressor hum, so a quiet bedroom is better served by a quieter model.

How much water does the Dimplex EverDri20EL remove in a cold room?

Much less than the headline. The 20 litres a day is at 30°C and 80 per cent humidity. At 10°C and 59 per cent humidity the spec gives 2.8 litres a day.

Can the Dimplex EverDri 20L drain continuously?

Yes. It has a continuous drainage facility, and Toolstation gives an 11mm internal diameter hose. The hose does not come in the box.

What warranty does the Dimplex EverDri 20L have?

Three years. Toolstation quotes the maker's wording as a three-year manufacturer's guarantee with online registration required.

How we score it

Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Most of each score is what the review sites say: the scores their own reviews give each model, and whether their best-of lists name it. For this guide we read Expert Reviews, Ideal Home, T3 and Woman & Home. The rest is how happy owners are, held back where few owners have rated a product, and how new it is. Value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 22 models for this guide before settling on these ten.

Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
