Dryzone 12L Dehumidifier & Air Purifier: performance, features and buying advice
FG-A00042-001 · 2.2-litre tank
Editorial review Reviewed 31 October 2026 How we assess products
The Dryzone 12L is a compact laundry helper for smaller heated rooms. Its compressor removes moisture by condensing it on a cooled surface. A dedicated laundry mode, useful drying performance and relatively unobtrusive low-speed operation give it an appealing everyday role without Wi-Fi. The 2.2-litre tank can be awkward to empty, and cold conditions reduce extraction or cause defrost pauses. Its 12L/day rating is measured at 30°C and 80% relative humidity. One H13 HEPA filter for fine airborne particles is supplied, with a separate fan-only mode; filter grade alone does not show whole-room cleaning speed. Dry-clean every two weeks using a soft brush or suitable vacuuming, never water or compressed air. The optional exact-model two-pack is for future replenishment.
