Damp, heavy indoor air is a familiar problem in UAE homes, especially near the coast and in the humid summer months. Stadler Form's answer for large rooms is the Lukas Pro, a dehumidifier and air purifier in one appliance.
The Lukas Pro is sold and supported in the UAE by Stadler Form UAE, run by PRO TECHnology, which has distributed the Swiss-designed brand in the UAE since 2013.
What is the Stadler Form Lukas Pro?
The Lukas Pro is the highest-capacity dehumidifier in the Stadler Form range sold in the UAE. It removes up to 50 litres of moisture a day, the rated maximum under test conditions, in rooms up to 175 m² (435 m³).
It is also an air purifier. The included HEPA H11 filter gives it a clean air delivery rate (CADR) of 327 m³/h, enough to exchange the air in a 131 m² room once an hour. The two functions run together or separately, so the unit stays useful on days when humidity is not the problem.
Why use a dehumidifier when the AC is already on?
Air conditioning removes some moisture as part of cooling, but it may not hold indoor humidity at a comfortable level in every condition. A room can reach its set temperature and still feel clammy.
The first step is to measure. A hygrometer shows the room's relative humidity, and most households aim for around 50 to 55 percent. The Lukas Pro's digital hygrostat then holds the level you set, switching the compressor off when the target is reached and on again when humidity climbs.
Features that suit UAE homes
- Wi-Fi control through the Stadler Form app, or the touch panel on the unit, with four power levels, a timer and swing.
- A particle sensor that shows air quality on the panel in white, yellow or red.
- Laundry-drying mode for drying clothes indoors, useful in towers where balcony drying is restricted.
- Night mode for quieter running after dark. The operating range is 38 to 55 dB(A): quiet for a compressor unit, but not silent.
- Two ways to drain: a 5.2-litre tank that switches the unit off when full, or continuous drainage through the included 100 cm hose.
Made for villas, large apartments and seaside homes
The Lukas Pro suits open-plan villa living areas, large apartments, majlis rooms and ground floors. By PRO TECHnology's own records, more than 20,000 homes in the UAE have fixed a humidity problem with a Stadler Form dehumidifier since 2013. More than 1,000 of them are beachfront villas and palaces on Palm Jumeirah, JBR, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah, Yas Island, Saadiyat and the rest of the coast.
A whole villa is rarely one space, though. Closed doors divide the air into separate rooms, so larger homes often need more than one unit. Stadler Form UAE's guide to covering a whole villa explains how to plan it room by room.
Placement matters as well. The Lukas Pro needs more than 50 cm of clear space from walls and large furniture, and must stay at least 3 metres from a bathtub, shower or swimming pool. It is designed for use in the home.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Lukas Pro a dehumidifier or an air purifier?
Both. It removes up to 50 litres of moisture a day in rooms up to 175 m², and its included HEPA H11 filter delivers 327 m³/h of clean air. The two functions run together or separately.
What size room does the Lukas Pro cover?
Up to 175 m² (435 m³) for dehumidifying. As an air purifier, it exchanges the air of a room up to 131 m² once an hour. The two figures measure different jobs, so they should not be mixed up.
Is the Lukas Pro good for a bedroom?
It runs between 38 and 55 dB(A) and has a night mode, but it is sized for large rooms. For a single bedroom, Stadler Form's smaller Lukas, or Albert at 33 to 44 dB(A), is usually the better fit.
How does continuous drainage work on the Lukas Pro?
Fit the included 100 cm hose and route it downhill to a drain, so water runs off continuously and the tank does not need emptying. Without the hose, the 5.2-litre tank switches the unit off when it is full.
Does the Lukas Pro need Wi-Fi?
No. Every setting is available on the touch panel. The app adds remote control and connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
What warranty does the Lukas Pro have in the UAE?
Five years, as a Pro Series appliance, supported by Stadler Form UAE's service centre and engineers in Dubai.
Where can I buy the Lukas Pro in the UAE?
