Dri-Eaz DrizAir 1200 Dehumidifier

Robust & Compact Professional Dehumidifier

The DrizAir 1200 is a refrigerant-based moisture removal machine, pulling up to 55 litres of water out of the air in just 24 hours. Not bad for its size.

Power Options:

• 110v model
• 230v model

It’s useful for all sorts of drying jobs—after decorating, during renovations, or when you’re dealing with flood recovery. Commercial sites get a lot out of it too, especially for drying out wet trades.

Control Features:

• Electronic control panel with diagnostics
• 2-hour operational counters
• Manual pump purge

The built-in pump does its thing automatically, sending water away up to 12 metres horizontally, or even 5 metres uphill with the included 12-metre hose. You can route the water into a sink, toilet, drain, or just a container if that’s what you’ve got. It keeps going on its own, and there’s a safety cut out if something gets blocked.

Technical Specifications:

• 3M™ HAF filter as standard
• Integrated duct ring for venting
• Hot-gas bypass for quick defrosting

Semi-automatic wheels make it a breeze to move around, and the rigid handle actually feels solid in your grip. Built-in skids help with loading and shifting it. You can even stack two of these for storage or transport—handy if you’re tight on space. The roto moulded shell shrugs off rust and dents, cleans up quickly, and doesn’t mind a rough worksite.

It’s compact enough that moving it between jobs isn’t a chore. Contractors appreciate how it’s built to take a beating and keep going in tough environments.

Complimentary Dri-Eaz Vortex Axial Air Circulation Fan 230v

For anyone picking up the DrizAir 1200 230v, there’s a free Dri-Eaz Vortex Ventilation Fan thrown in while stocks last. Not a bad little bonus.

The Vortex Axial Fan is all about moving air, fast. Its 0.75kW motor pushes up to 3,600 cubic metres per hour—enough to really make a difference in stuffy or damp spaces.

Applications Include:

• Ventilating tight spaces
• Circulating air in big rooms
• Speeding up drying
• Helping with flood recovery

Pair it with the DrizAir 1200 and you’ll notice drying times drop. The fan gets air flowing over surfaces and into all those hard-to-reach corners.

It’ll work with up to 38 metres of ducting, or just on its own for direct airflow. On construction sites, it’s great for keeping the air fresh. Remodels go smoother with better circulation, and janitorial crews use it to dry carpets and upholstery way faster.

Build Quality:

• Roto-moulded housing
• Easy-clean surfaces
• Lifetime housing guarantee

This thing is built to take some abuse. The materials shrug off bumps and scrapes, and cleaning it between jobs is barely a hassle. There’s a two-year limited warranty on the whole fan, and the 7.6-metre cord means you can actually put it where you need it without playing extension lead roulette.

Used with a dehumidifier, the fan really kicks up the drying power. Restoration teams swear by this combo for getting places bone-dry, fast.

Technical Details

The DrizAir 1200 comes in both 110V and 230V versions, so it’ll fit most electrical setups. It’s a standard refrigerant dehumidifier, but the performance numbers are honestly impressive.

Performance Specifications

It pulls 6.7 amps on 110V or 3.0 amps on 230V, and it’s pretty efficient—using 0.737 kW/hour for 110V or 0.69 kW/hour if you’re on 230V.

Physical Characteristics

Size-wise, it’s 83 × 50 × 50 cm and weighs in at 36 kg. The airflow is 325 cubic metres per hour, and noise isn’t too bad—55 decibels on 110V or 60 decibels on 230V. Not whisper-quiet, but not ear-splitting either.

Operating Parameters

• Temperature range: 1°C to 38°C
• Humidity range: 40% to 100%
• Refrigerant: Type 410A
• Compressor power: 1.954 kW (110V) or 1.868 kW (230V)

The centrifugal pump clears condensate through a 12.2-metre hose. The touchpad is electronic and supports four languages, plus there’s that hot-gas bypass for quick defrosts. The roto moulded housing and those chunky 30cm semi-pneumatic wheels make it easy to roll around even rough sites.

Package Contents

Right out of the box, the DrizAir 1200 comes with what you need to get rolling.

Main Unit

• Industrial dehumidifier

Accessories Included

• Drainage hose: 12-metre flexible tube for water removal
• Power cable: 7.6-metre cord for plugging in
• Air filter: 4-PRO filter for cleaner air

Each bit is there for a reason. The hose hooks up to the pump, the power cable’s long enough for most rooms, and the filter keeps the air clear while you’re drying things out.

Reviews

Dri-Eaz DrizAir Industrial Moisture Removal Unit Assessment

The DrizAir 1200 is a refrigerant-based dehumidifier that relies on heat to draw moisture out of indoor air. Built for commercial jobs, it’s capable of pulling a surprising amount of water vapour from the air, thanks to its closed-loop system.

Key Specifications:

• Capacity: 55 litres daily moisture removal
• Coverage Area: Up to 12,000 cubic feet
• Power Options: Available in 110v and 230v variants
• Type: Low-temperature refrigerant dehumidifier

Even though it’s built for heavy-duty use, the unit keeps a fairly compact, portable profile. There’s an automatic condensate pump tucked inside, so you don’t have to fuss with manual draining—just set it up and let it run.

Primary Applications:

• Water damage restoration projects
• Construction and renovation sites
• Flood clean up operations
• Commercial and industrial facilities
• Large residential spaces

It’s surprisingly capable even in chilly spaces. Features like remote control, a drainage hose hookup, built-in humidistat, and a collection tank make it pretty user-friendly for such a tough machine.

Build Quality and Durability:
The chassis feels solid—clearly designed for rough environments. Plenty of pros and equipment rental companies seem to trust it for big, messy jobs where reliability actually matters.

The automatic restart is a lifesaver if the power blips out. It’ll just pick up where it left off, which is honestly a relief when you’re in the middle of a long drying process.

Moisture Removal Performance:
It’s not shy about tackling high humidity or even standing water. The DrizAir 1200 keeps chipping away at moisture, helping to keep mould at bay when things get dicey.

Thanks to its portable build, you can wheel it between job sites without much trouble. The integrated pump is a nice touch too — no more running back and forth to empty tanks in the middle of a job.
