Easy clothes drying in winter
This is a fantastic machine. I hate the condensation in winter so I run this overnight and it helps a lot. I also have a fair bit of washing - it dries so quickly when I run this in the same room - doesn’t use much power and so much better for your clothes than a dryer.

Sleek design, powerful extraction, easy and convenient operation
The Breville Dehumidifier is portable, easy to use and extracts a powerful amount of water from the atmosphere. You can also use it for drying laundry on the special clothes drying mode. Highly recommend this unit - and bought one for my mother as well whose house is very damp.

NO MORE WET INTERNAL WINDOW SILLS
Smart Dry Plus is a good name for this dehumidifier, as that is exactly what it does. It collects all the cold night air moisture from the windows, stopping any moisture from reaching the window sills.

Good for smaller rooms, as indicated on the package
Bought this Dehumidifier to use in the room used for 3d printing, as the humidity has to be low to get better prints. The unit was easy to setup and operate, and being able to use the Breville Home Connect app to set and monitor the unit helps alot. When not set to Night Mode, I find the fan is a bit loud, and I find the air being pushed out of the unit can be a bit cool. Apart from that I do use the unit often, and it seems to do the job

Q: Is the Breville Smart Dry Plus suitable for an open-plan living area or better for one room at a time?
A: It is better matched to medium rooms within its 50m2 coverage, such as a bedroom, living room or home office. In larger open-plan spaces it will still remove moisture, but drying speed and humidity control are usually less even.
Q: Can the Breville LAD308WHT help dry clothes indoors more quickly?
A: Yes. It has a dedicated Laundry mode designed for damp clothes and indoor drying. It works best in a closed laundry, spare room or bathroom where moisture is contained, rather than in a large space with doors and windows open.
Q: How often does the water tank need emptying on the Breville Smart Dry Plus?
A: It depends on how damp the room is, because the 3.5L tank can fill much faster in wet weather, after rain or when drying laundry. For lighter day-to-day control, emptying is usually less frequent, especially once the room reaches the target humidity.
Q: Can the Breville Smart Dry Plus be controlled when you are away from home?
A: Yes. Wi-Fi lets you monitor and adjust humidity remotely in the Breville Home Connect app, and Bluetooth adds nearby control. Voice control also works with Amazon Alexa or Google Home when those services are already set up.
Q: Does the Breville Smart Dry Plus replace an air purifier as well as a dehumidifier?
A: No. Its 2 stage filtration and carbon filter can help reduce airborne dust and odours while it removes moisture, but it is still primarily a dehumidifier. If allergen capture is the main goal, a dedicated air purifier is the better fit.
Q: What humidity level can you set on the Breville Smart Dry Plus, and what is a practical target for everyday use?
A: You can set the target humidity from 30% to 80%, with the Sensair System adjusting operation to hold that level. For everyday comfort and condensation control, many rooms are typically kept around 50% to 60% rather than at the driest setting.
