Verdict

The Devola DV12L is a compact 10.5 kg compressor dehumidifier designed for domestic spaces up to 200 sq. ft., featuring an extraction rate of 12 liters per day, a 2-liter water tank, and an airflow capacity of 100 m³/h. Operating efficiently within a temperature range of 5°C to 35°C, it utilizes eco-friendly R290 refrigerant with a low power consumption of 185 Watts. Key performance advantages include its ultra-quiet operation at just 36 dB, a cost-effective dedicated laundry drying mode, a three-color LED humidity light system, a 12-hour programmable timer, and a continuous drainage option with an included hose. On the downside, it lacks built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, lacks an integrated air-purifying ionizer, features a relatively small water tank that requires frequent manual emptying if not using the hose, and is less effective in spaces larger than a two-bedroom property.

What customers like about Devola DV12L?

  • Highly effective at quickly reducing humidity levels in small to medium-sized rooms.
  • Quiet operation with a smooth sound profile (no annoying whines or high-pitched noises).
  • Cost-effective alternative to using a tumble dryer for drying clothes indoors.
  • Features a dedicated 'laundry mode' to actively extract moisture when drying washing.
  • Includes smart connectivity (WiFi) to control the unit remotely via the SmartLife app.
  • Compact and lightweight design with smooth-rolling caster feet for easy maneuverability.
  • Helpful built-in humidity monitor that visually indicates moisture levels using color-coded lights.

What customers dislike about Devola DV12L?

  • The 2-litre water tank is relatively small and needs frequent emptying if the unit is running constantly.
  • WiFi connectivity can sometimes be unreliable or 'flaky'.
  • Lacks the sheer power to rapidly dry heavier items (like jeans or towels) in laundry mode.
  • Has a lower airflow capacity (100 m3/h) compared to larger capacity models like the DV20L or DV25L.
