Klarstein DXJ2-DryFy-20-grey 20L Dehumidifier and Air Purifier

With a dehumidification capacity of 20 litres per day, the Klarstein DryFy20 helps manage excess moisture in rooms such as bathrooms, bedrooms and laundry areas. Its 5-litre tank can be emptied manually, or the supplied drain hose can be connected for continuous drainage. AUTO mode uses a humidity sensor to adjust operation to your chosen target, while CONTINUOUS mode is suited to ongoing moisture removal, including when drying laundry indoors.

Wheels and an integrated handle make it easier to move the unit between rooms as needed.

What stands out

The DryFy20 combines dehumidification with air filtration, bringing two useful functions into one appliance. Its filter is washable, and the DRY function is designed to help keep the unit clean and prevent mould. For everyday damp management, this means you can place it where moisture is most noticeable and choose a mode suited to the task, rather than relying only on ventilation or a standalone air filter.

Laundry mode adds a practical use in wet weather: CONTINUOUS operation removes moisture from the surrounding air as clothes dry indoors. The manufacturer recommends this 20L model for spaces of 35–50 m², making it relevant for larger rooms than a smaller-capacity dehumidifier intended for more compact areas. Buyers praise its effectiveness at reducing humidity and its quality, feedback on noise is mixed, so experiences differ.

Key points

A humidity sensor and AUTO mode let you set a target between 30–80% RH, with the unit adjusting operation to suit. For longer periods of use, connect the supplied hose for continuous drainage, otherwise, water collects in the 5-litre tank for manual emptying. The integrated handle and wheels help with moving it between a bathroom, bedroom or laundry space, while the child lock provides an added safety feature in a family home. It operates at 50 watts and has an airflow capacity of 230 cubic metres per hour.

Usage tips

Use AUTO mode when you want the unit to respond to a chosen humidity level, setting a target between 30–80% RH. For indoor laundry drying or continuous moisture removal, select CONTINUOUS mode. If you plan to run it for an extended period, the included drain hose offers a continuous drainage option, for occasional use, the tank can be emptied manually. Keep the washable filter clean as part of routine care, and move the appliance using its handle and wheels.

What to clarify

What room size is the DryFy20 intended for? The manufacturer recommends it for spaces of 35–50 m². It is also listed with a floor area of 50 square metres.

Can it drain water continuously? Yes. Connect the supplied drain hose to direct water away during continuous operation. The 5-litre tank is the alternative for manual emptying.

Can it help with indoor laundry? Yes. CONTINUOUS mode removes moisture while laundry dries indoors, making it useful in wet weather or during damp seasons.

Should you buy it?

Worth considering if you want one portable appliance for damp control across a bathroom, bedroom or laundry area, with both a 20-litre daily capacity and an air-filtration function. The humidity-sensing AUTO mode suits routine room use, while the hose drainage and CONTINUOUS setting support longer runs and indoor laundry drying.
