Excellent results
We purchased this unit in a bid to ensure there was no excess moisture which in turn could lead to mould. We are very surprised how much moisture is pulled from our rooms.

This has been a lifesaver in my house. No more condensation on the windows and purifies at the same time.

Great dehumidifier for a large room.
Works well and noticeably lowers humidity in a large bedroom. Easy to use, reasonably quiet and effective. Very happy with it.

Fabulous
This is an amazing product...I can't believe how much water we get every day in the wet season. Also the laundry setting is perfect for apartment living. We have to hang our clothes indoors and they dry super quickly.

Large room suitability
Up to 60 m² - ideal for large living spaces, open plan areas, and multi-use rooms.
Laundry drying effectiveness
8/10 - Strong moisture extraction accelerates indoor laundry drying, though not as fast as dedicated laundry dryers.
Noise level vs category average
6/10 - Operates at a moderate noise level; quieter than some large dehumidifiers but audible in quiet spaces.
Energy efficiency score
7/10 - Efficient compressor and eco-friendly refrigerant offer good energy performance for its capacity.
Allergy relief rating
9/10 - Advanced filtration and Sensitive Choice certification provide excellent relief for allergy and asthma sufferers.
Key benefits

- Large Room Coverage: Effectively treats spaces up to 60 m², suitable for open plan areas and large rooms.
- Smart App Control: Allows remote operation and scheduling via the Breville Home Connect app for added convenience.

Q: Is this dehumidifier suitable for a large open-plan living area?
A: Yes. Breville recommends this model for rooms up to 60m2, so it suits a single large bedroom, living area or open-plan zone. It is designed for room-by-room use rather than drying an entire home from one position.
Q: Will the laundry mode replace a clothes dryer?
A: No. Laundry mode helps remove moisture from indoor washing so clothes hanging on a rack dry faster and with less stiffness. It does not tumble, heat or finish a load the way a dedicated clothes dryer does.
Q: How much moisture can the LAD708WHT remove in a day?
A: Breville states a 25-litre-per-day extraction rate when operating without the filter. Actual water collected depends on room size and humidity, so everyday results can be lower once the room starts to dry out.
Q: Can I control the Breville LAD708WHT away from home?
A: Yes. Breville LAD708WHT connects by Wi-Fi to the Breville Home Connect app, so settings can be adjusted remotely. It also supports voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for basic hands-free use.
Q: Does the HEPA filter mean it also purifies the air?
A: Yes. Breville LAD708WHT is a 2-in-1 unit that combines dehumidification with HEPA-13 filtration and a washable pre-filter. That makes it suitable when the goal is drier air and particle filtration in the same room.
Q: Is it quiet enough to run in a bedroom overnight?
A: It is generally better described as audible than whisper-quiet. This is a compressor dehumidifier for larger rooms, and it has two fan speeds, so the lower setting is the better choice if it will run overnight near a bed.
Q: What certifications does this Breville dehumidifier have for sensitive homes?
A: Breville LAD708WHT is Sensitive Choice and National Asthma Council Australia certified and approved. Those certifications can matter if approved air-treatment products are part of the shortlist, but it is still a large-room compressor model.
