Is the Duux Bora Smart 20L worth it?
Yes — for a big, damp home.
It pulls a lot of water out quickly: in testing, condensation on a front door was gone after one night. It has auto and continuous modes, a night mode, a full-tank alarm, a drain hose, a carbon filter for smells, and wheels and a strong handle to move it. The app tends to disconnect after a few hours (voice control through Alexa worked), and it isn't quiet enough to sleep next to.

How we reached this verdict
T3 names it its best smart dehumidifier: it extracted a lot of moisture fast, the carbon filter cleared smells and it's easy to move on wheels. Its app kept disconnecting and it's louder than its marketing says.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
