Built to last. And it’s a UK company. 🇬🇧😀

The MeacoDry Arete® One 25L Dual Dehumidifier & HEPA Air Purifier works incredibly well. I didn’t realize how much moisture was in the air at home until I saw it collecting 5 liters of water every 6 hours. It’s perfect for drying clothes indoors and eliminating humidity completely. We only use it at 60% because at 50-55%, it dries the air too much. Overall, it’s an outstanding product!

Easy to use, quiet and works very effectively. The ‘everyday’ and ‘laundry’ settings are useful the water container is easy to use, although not terribly easy to see how full it is, unless you get down to the level of the clear window to see. We are very happy with this product.

This dehumidifier is brilliant. It is simple to use, quite running and collects an unbelievable amount of water from the air. I went for the 25L model as recommended for a five bedroom house. It lives on the landing so I don't have to take it from room to room. We just have to leave the doors open when the rooms are unoccupied. I have humidity sensors in every room including the bathroom. So monitoring the humidity is easy to control. We no longer get condensation on the inside of the windows as we did in the morning before. The house also feels warmer and heats much quicker. The energy costs of running a dehumidifier has always put me off purchasing, but our energy bills have dropped since we started using ours. We leave it on constantly at a 50% humidity setting. It turns itself on and off when the humidity is increased. The heating is set to 20°c as before yet it feels more comfortable and seems warmer than it did before. Wish I'd bought one years ago.

Update to last review - now 16 months ownershipThe unit is going well still - looking a bit grubby and it would be good to have user access to clean some of the internal vents. The main issue is still the poor/buggy control code, which I hope they have improved for current models, but too often as previously found it fails to spot a change in humidity when it comes on briefly to check and also at times even when on, the whole bathroom etc can go from dry to 95%, even though the unit is on (fan running) it just fails to resample the significant change - when out of warranty I may replace this controller!This has been in use for about a year and has just worked, and is easy to setup and just leave, periodically emptying it (good size tank) and cleaning the air filter.As in the headline, this is far from silent at times, which Meaco could probably do more to solve, but you will find that it can be a bit noisy at times, as other dehumidiiers are. One of the first fixes I found was to put bubble wrap around the cable holder - which fits loosley and becomes something to vibrate. Other times I just move it a bit or wedge it against a wall with some rubber of similar, changing its natural frequency.Two features I would like them to add: 1) having a memory of the last state if you unplug the unit. Frustratingly it both forgets the last humidity setting, and the last running state, so is unsuitable for use with an external timer. 2) properly periodically check the humidity when deciding when to come on. Far too many times the unit fires up for a few seconds to decide whether the humidity is too high but for some reason, even a significant change is often missed, in which case I just press the off/on button and now it soon recognises the change.

Bought to replace a 10 yr old Ebac. Although I have a small home the kitchen and bathroom are in the middle of the house so need something efficient and with good air flow to get rid of the moisture which builds up very quickly. Very impressed with how quickly the humidity levels dropped from an initial 78% down to 55% (approx 5 hrs), so much more efficient than my old machine. Noise levels are about the same not particularly quiet but it has been working hard and I like the night function. Also love that it has casters, so much easier to manoeuvre. Very please with this make and model would recommend.

I bought this to remove excess moisture from our 3/4 bed semi-detached house and to help dry clothes indoors. The laundry mode is very useful and defaults to 35% RH. When drying clothes it can collect 3-4 litres of water over several hours. Otherwise in 'standard' mode it defaults to 55%, but a wide range of settings are available . It's relatively quiet and I could probably sleep while it's running just outside the bedroom door, but not needed to run it continuously / overnight yet. I'm glad I bought the largest unit for sale as we have space on our landing, but despite it's weight and size it can easily be wheeled into the bathroom or another room. Taking downstairs would be harder but manageable.
