Verdict

The WDH DS3 is a compressor-free adsorption dehumidifier for rooms up to 25 m², removing up to 10 litres per day at 35 °C and 90% RH. Its 5-litre tank, 40-70% LED hygrostat, up to 185 m³/h airflow, SmartHome compatibility, timer, auto-restart, and continuous-drain connection are useful, while the adsorption design remains effective from temperatures as low as 1 °C. It can draw up to 730 W and produce up to 50.3 dB(A), and the optional HEPA filter must be purchased separately for air purification.
