The "Royal 20" is part of the latest series of Dryfix dehumidifiers. In addition to a pretty design, the Royal20 impresses with a large bucket and economical operation. Ideal for keeping damp cellars dry and for supporting laundry drying.
Thanks to the latest technology, it is highly efficient and economical. The R290 refrigerant it contains hardly has any impact on the environment. The "Global Warming Potential (GWP)" is an incredible value of 3, which corresponds to a reduction of 99.85% compared to comparable models of previous generations.

The operation is controlled at the touch of a button via the clearly laid out control panel on the top. The display provides information about the set values and the current measured humidity in the room.
- Setting the target humidity : the desired target humidity can be set at the touch of a button, i.e. the value at which the device should keep the room stable. If the measured humidity in the room is higher, the device will operate. If the humidity is correct, the device pauses, stopping not only the compressor but also the fan. This is an important point in terms of power consumption and distinguishes the "Royal" from many commercially available products on the market. The desired target humidity can be selected in 5% increments in the range between 30 - 80% relative humidity. To protect a room from mold and odors, a value of around 60% is sufficient, so the ideal setting is 55 or 60%. Lower values do not provide any additional benefit, unless you are drying laundry or there is water damage.
- Setting mode: There are three drying options to choose from.
a) Continuous operation (for laundry/water damage)
b) Room monitoring mode, when the humidity should not exceed a certain value
c) Night mode, in which the ventilation is set to low and the lighting is minimized.
- Ventilation setting: You can choose between strong and weak ventilation at the touch of a button. On the weak fan setting, operation is very quiet, on the stronger fan setting, the air volume increases, which is an advantage especially in larger rooms. The "Royal20" sucks in the moist room air at the back of the device, where it is cleaned by a removable coarse dust filter. The filter can be removed very easily and cleaned under water. It does not need to be replaced. The dry air outlet is at the top of the device. An internal counter reminds you after every 600 hours of operation (= approx. once a month) that the filter should be cleaned and pauses operation until the perfect condition of the filter is confirmed at the touch of a button (this confirmation is not possible via WLAN).
- Timer: With the timer, operation can either be limited to a time "from now" (1-12 hours) or to a time 1-12 hours in the future, for example if you want to start operation at the low tariff.
- Memory function: If you want to run the device at the same time every day (for example during off-peak hours), you can do this with a standard timer. The "Royal20" remembers the last setting and returns with the same settings after a power failure.
-
Key lock: Prevents unauthorized persons (e.g. children) from playing around with the device and changing the settings.
Additional features
-
3-color display: There is a light on the front that uses three colors to indicate whether the air is very dry, OK, or too humid. A quick glance at the device is enough to quickly find out about the condition of the air.
- Mobile on wheels : The "Royal20" has four wheels, making it easy to move around the room. There are also two recessed handles on the side with which the dehumidifier can be lifted.
-
" Dryfix Intelligence ": The software we have developed for particularly economical stop-and-go operation. Prevents the compressor from starting up too often and thus saves a lot of electricity. The software also checks whether the room temperature is too cold or too warm for operation and interrupts operation if necessary.
WIFI control WIFI control: In addition to the operation on the device itself, all models in the "Royal" series are equipped with WIFI control. The "Smart Life" app used for this purpose can be downloaded free of charge for iOS and Android. Minimum requirement:
iPhone and iPod: iOS 11.0 or later
Apple Watch: watchOS 6.0 or higher
Android: newer mobile phone series from 2020, Android 5.0 or higher
"Smart Life" is very simple and clear. It has been around for a number of household appliances for a long time and is therefore well developed and tested. To use the app, the dehumidifier only needs to be connected to WiFi in the house. Setting up the app once only takes a few minutes. Once set up, you can monitor and regulate your dehumidifier from anywhere in the world via your cell phone and also request real-time information about the current humidity in the room. This is very practical when traveling abroad and for use in holiday homes.
