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

Recommend.
I was skeptical how much this would work and after going through heaps of reviews the revile was always really positive. It’s easy to use, the app function is super handy and I find it does make a genuine difference in my 60sq m apartment both for odour and humidity levels and the speed the clothes dry. The negatives: it is pretty loud , honestly most of the time I block it out but you do hear a constant fan almost like an exhaust on low. Comparatively the de longhi was extremely quiet compared to the brevillle. If using it in a bigger space you probabaly wouldn’t even realise though.

Fantastic Dehumidifier!
This Breville Smart Dry Plus Dehumidifier has been a game changer in our house! No longer are there messy 'damp rid' containers scattered throughout the house, as this machine works so well! Being on castors makes it effortless to move from room to room, and it is easy to operate. A fantastic purchase!

Absolute Steal – Premium Performance for a Great Price!
I managed to pick up the Breville The Smart Dry Plus during a recent sale, and it has been a total game-changer for my home. For the price I paid, the value is unbeatable. It’s incredibly efficient at pulling moisture out of the air, I was shocked at how quickly the tank filled up in the first 24 hours! The "Smart" features are actually useful, making it easy to set and forget. It’s quiet enough for the living room and has significantly improved the air quality and "feel" of my house. If you can find this on sale, don't hesitate it performs like a much more expensive unit!

An very average product with too much Marketing
I bought this around late March , first impression it’s looks compact and fit the room pretty good. It dose take out the humidity in my room . However it’s really noisy even you have night mode on it still so noisy , and the so called Landry mode it’s basically useless , I feel like it just an other button for the same function with its dry up the air , and this machine dose that pretty good

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.
