Easy clothes drying in winter
This is a fantastic machine. I hate the condensation in winter so I run this overnight and it helps a lot. I also have a fair bit of washing - it dries so quickly when I run this in the same room - doesn’t use much power and so much better for your clothes than a dryer.

Sleek design, powerful extraction, easy and convenient operation
The Breville Dehumidifier is portable, easy to use and extracts a powerful amount of water from the atmosphere. You can also use it for drying laundry on the special clothes drying mode. Highly recommend this unit - and bought one for my mother as well whose house is very damp.

NO MORE WET INTERNAL WINDOW SILLS
Smart Dry Plus is a good name for this dehumidifier, as that is exactly what it does. It collects all the cold night air moisture from the windows, stopping any moisture from reaching the window sills.

Good for smaller rooms, as indicated on the package
Bought this Dehumidifier to use in the room used for 3d printing, as the humidity has to be low to get better prints. The unit was easy to setup and operate, and being able to use the Breville Home Connect app to set and monitor the unit helps alot. When not set to Night Mode, I find the fan is a bit loud, and I find the air being pushed out of the unit can be a bit cool. Apart from that I do use the unit often, and it seems to do the job

At a glance
The Breville Smart Dry Plus is a mid-range dehumidifier for homes needing moisture control in rooms up to 50 m2. It suits bedrooms, living areas, and home offices, with smart app control, laundry mode, and air-cleaning filtration as key strengths. Its main limitation is the 3.5 L tank, which may need more frequent emptying than larger-capacity models when humidity is high.
What it’s great for
- Everyday humidity control
- Indoor laundry drying
- Bedroom comfort
- Living room moisture reduction
- Home office air management
- Allergy-conscious households
Where it works best
- Bedrooms
- Living rooms
- Home offices
- Apartments
- Closed laundry spaces
- Medium to large home areas
Who it’s for
- Apartment dwellers
- Families
- Remote workers
- Allergy-conscious users
- Everyday homeowners
- Renters needing portable moisture control
Things to consider
The 3.5 L water tank is practical for regular home use, but larger or more premium dehumidifiers may run longer between emptying in very damp conditions.
Large room suitability
Good for rooms up to 50 m2, making it a strong fit for bedrooms, living rooms, and larger home office spaces.
Laundry drying effectiveness
8/10 - Dedicated laundry mode makes it well suited to faster indoor clothes drying in enclosed spaces.
Noise level vs category average
5/10 - No noise rating is provided, so it should be considered average rather than especially quiet.
Energy efficiency score
6/10 - 350 W power draw is reasonable for a dehumidifier of this size, but no Australian star rating is specified.
Allergy relief rating
8/10 - Pre-filter and ionisation add meaningful support for reducing airborne dust, pet dander, allergens, and odours.
Key benefits
- 50 m2 room coverage: Suitable for medium to large rooms, so one unit can manage moisture in common living spaces, bedrooms, or home offices.
- 3.5 L tank: Offers useful capacity for day-to-day dehumidifying before the tank needs emptying.
- Sensair humidity control: Lets you set humidity from 30% to 80% in 5% steps for more tailored comfort.
- Laundry mode: Helps dry clothes faster indoors, especially in enclosed rooms during wet or cool weather.
- Pre-filter and ionisation: Helps reduce dust, pet dander, allergens, smoke, and odours while the unit removes moisture.
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity: Allows remote monitoring and control through the Breville Home Connect app.
- Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility: Makes it easier to adjust settings by voice when your hands are full.
- Continuous drainage hose included: Supports longer unattended operation when a suitable drain setup is available.
Q: Can this dehumidifier drain continuously instead of filling the tank?
A: Yes. The Breville Smart Dry Plus includes a 1m continuous drainage hose, so it can run without relying only on the 3.5L tank. That is useful for longer sessions near a floor waste or other suitable drain point.
Q: Is the Smart Dry Plus suitable for a bedroom overnight?
A: Yes, for many bedrooms. Breville Smart Dry Plus has 2 speeds and humidity control, so it can be set for steady overnight moisture removal, but it is not silent and light sleepers may still notice the fan in a very quiet room.
Q: How often will I need to empty the water tank?
A: That depends on how damp the room is and how long the unit runs. The tank holds 3.5L, so it will need emptying sooner in very humid weather or when using laundry mode, while continuous drainage reduces the need for manual emptying.
Q: Does laundry mode replace a clothes dryer in winter?
A: No. Laundry mode helps clothes dry faster indoors by pulling moisture from the air, especially in a closed room, but it does not heat or tumble garments like a dedicated dryer, so drying time still depends on the load and airflow.
Q: Can it keep humidity within a set range automatically?
A: Yes. Breville Smart Dry Plus lets you set a target from 30% to 80% in 5% steps, and the Sensair System adjusts operation to stay within that comfort zone. That gives more control than simply running the unit at a fixed speed.
Q: Will it help reduce window condensation in damp rooms?
A: Yes. Breville Smart Dry Plus removes moisture from the air in spaces up to 50m2, which can reduce condensation forming on cooler window surfaces. It will not fix leaks or rising damp, so the moisture source still needs to be addressed.
