Verdict

The ARGO Dry Nature 17 is a compact compressor dehumidifier for rooms up to 20 m², removing up to 17 litres of moisture per 24 hours with a 250 m³/h airflow and 260 W power draw. It uses R290 refrigerant and offers a 40-80% hygrostat, a 1-24-hour timer, a removable filter, a 3.8-litre tank with full-tank alarm, and automatic restart after a power cut. Its main limitation is the audible 47 dB operating noise, which may be noticeable in a quiet bedroom.
