MeacoDry Arete® One 20L Dual Dehumidifier & HEPA Air Purifier for Homes - 5x Year Warranty - Which? Award Best Dehumidifier 2022 - Controls Humidity & Removes Excess Moisture

Product Information

It’s definitely worth adding in that HEPA filter which you’ll find included in the box when the dehumidifier is delivered. But if you’re looking for something to move around this house regularly, a smaller Meaco like the MeacoDry ABC might be a better choice. The cutting-edge compressor technology in the Meaco Arete range provides the most energy efficient range of Meaco products yet in a sleek package that runs as quiet as 35dB and is the most energy efficient dehumidifier to date. Arete is the perfect solution to dealing with condensation, mould and damp problems either in the home, in a garage, in an unheated basement, on a boat or in a caravan. I don’t have the MeacoDry ABC or Inventor EVA II Pro 20L to hand to make direct comparisons but the Arete One is right up there with them in terms of performance and is either competitive or slightly better on noise and power consumption.

This will run for six hours, although dehumidification will stop once the relative humidity hits 32%. The next night, because I'd now reduced the humidity levels to acceptable levels, I tried switching the dehumidifier off, but the result was that in the morning, humidity was back to 80%, so I suspect this is not an economical way to use the machine. One thing that took me by surprise was that when Laundry Mode ends, the dehumidifier switches itself off, whereas I expected (and would have preferred) it to go back to its previous mode, in this case Smart Humidity Mode.If you need a dehumidifier for a big space or want to dry laundry, I’d really recommend the 25l model.

Once turned on, the Arete takes around ten minutes to get an accurate reading of the humidity levels in the space, which corresponded exactly with the AirThings View Plus that we used to confirm air quality figures. Once notified we can send someone to collect the goods and then either give you a refund or do an exchange. Tina also took note of how straightforward the dehumidifier was to set up, empty and what it’s like to use day to day. It's also quiet, at 36-40dB, though will only extract up to 12L of moisture a day (at 30°C and 80%rh), so is best suited to smaller spaces.For comparison, as I discovered in my Pro Breeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier review, this Peltier model can only extract 0.

One last thing to note is that when the MeacoDry Arete One was running, the dehumidifier did warm up the room quite a bit.

All Arete One dehumidifiers come with a medical grade H13 HEPA filter which is 75% larger than the filter on our popular Low Energy models. To give a comprehensive view of the Arete One range, we also tested the 10l Arete One in a 3-bedroom house. The unit is a 2-in-1 dehumidifier and air purifier which is cost saving and even more effective for creaing purified fresh air.
