MeacoDry Arete® One 25L Grey Dual Dehumidifier & HEPA Air Purifier- 5x Year Warranty - Controls Humidity & Removes Excess Moisture in Large Houses - Low Energy

Been using this for just over a week now and has been brilliant, used for drying clothes and have had it on 24/7 (in smart humidity mode) it has been easy to setup and use via the app.We have a 2 bed 2 bath flat with wooden flooring, all doors open and the dehumidifier set to 50% target and running the smart humidity.The features are great and work really well. Meaco support are fast and helpful.Drying speed - I found 4 hours to be a good time.Noise level - very quiet, the fan system being brushless makes sure for a smooth running sound you can notice it but it's really a smooth elairflow sound and When the dehumidifier is doing its thing the motor is very quiet.Design - looks great, very smart and the LCD screen is clear and bright.Size - great size for any size property.Energy- you can easily keep it on 24/7 it will every 30 minutes turn on the fan to detect the moisture level so it's not on all of the time, haven't noticed any difference is our electricity bill but will notice more over time but it's very cheap to run.Thoughts - Overall an amazing dehumidifier, you get what you pay for and is one that you will not be saddened to have bought. Another great Meaco product.

This is a great bit of kit, ideal for drying laundry indoors over winter. A full load on a clothes horse is bone dry overnight. It has also helped massively with the condensation problem, and extracts a LOT of water in a short period of time. It is not 'whisper quiet' so I wouldn't use it in my bedroom overnight, but it doesn't intrude more than a fan or something similar in a room with background noise like a TV or radio during the day. The app is quite handy, allowing you to check humidity levels and turn it on and off remotely via WiFi, and sending you an alert if it needs emptying.Not the cheapest on the market, but seems solid and well made, is energy efficient and works very well.

Overall a fantastic product! I've had this dehumidifier for a month now and am very pleased with its performance so far.Ease of use: 4/5: very simple control panel with a day, night & laundry mode. Very easy to find tutorials to operate and use the dehumidifier online. Collection basket has a good capacity and it can run all night without becoming full - needs emptying every other day.Effectiveness: 5/5: dries clothes well & has proven effective at reducing the humidity in the house.Cost to use: 5/5: I have used this machine constantly over the last month & seen minimal increases to my energy bill. The dehumidifier has several clever tricks to avoid energy wastage, such as an automated timer & an ability to switch of the compressor when the air is dry. Clearly, these power-saving tricks work well!Value for money: 4/5: I purchased this for around £160, which is somewhat expensive but I think worthwhile if this device continues to work as well as it is currently working for a long time.Noise: 4/5: Makes a low hum that I don't mind but others might. The night mode is good for managing this.Overall: 5/5 - Provided you have the budget & don't mind emptying it regularly, I'd recommend this device highly.

Easy to use and is great at it's job as a dehumidifier. The day/night settings are a bonus but I still prefer a door between me and it at night. I'm surprised at how much water it is able to pull out of what I thought was a fairly dry home. It also makes a decent air purifier too with high volume throughput. Anyway, the catch and this is a big one, if you want to use it as an air purifier, there is a HEPA filter included. These filters should be replaced at 3 month intervals but yes, you guessed it, you can't get them as the Arete One has a smaller filter that the regular 12L model so you can't find them on Amazon or the Meaco website. I thought that this wouldn't be a problem, they are just temporarily out of stock and will have more in shortly. 3 months later, still no filters. If I had known this would have been an issue, I would have exchanged this months ago for another model with a more standard filter.Until their supply issue (also the filters are nearly double the price of the other HEPA filters) is sorted, I can't recommend this item as it is only doing half it's job now.I'll move the review up to 4 stars now as the filters are back in stock (they notified me via e-mail and I snapped up a 3 pack) and they reduced the price to match the other filters. I would consider 5 stars if in 9 months time, the filters are still in stock. It is currently on loan to a friend who was dealing with a burst pipe and he is getting the same great performance I was getting.

I got this a while ago but recently got to pull it to proper use. I had a roof leak, and this came in handy to draw water out of the roof and the carpet. I have also put it to use in my living room downstairs which used to smell of damp for some reason. I am shocked at the amount of water it has drawn out of there- and the damp smell is absolutely gone. This is a pricey unit but very well worth the money (in the long run).. great performance but again this is my first dehumidifier - I love that it also purifies the air. If you are undecided, please go for it.It has a good weight to it (that should be expected for a solid unit) and may be difficult for some to move up and down the stairs. It is also not completely silent, but it’s not noisy either. One can get used to the sound. Easy to use also. I cannot speak to durability yet as I have had it for about 9 months only.My unit came without the HEPA filter, and I only realised that after 4 months of purchase. I contacted the seller and they sent one out- good customer service. I think they should make it available for sale on Amazon . Or is there a link to purchase the air filter here now?
