Product Information

There is a retractable handle at the top of the machine to make manoeuvring it a breeze, and at the back of the machine there's a handy storage area for cables, which is perfect for when you're storing it away. We don’t want to brag, but we believe our Arete ® dehumidifier is a near-perfect domestic dehumidifier). If you've previously tried to tackle damp with electric heaters, one of the best window vacuums, anti-mould sprays and paints, reams of kitchen paper or any number of other questionably effective methods, then once you've swapped to a quality dehumidifier, you'll wonder why you didn't do so years ago. kWh it’ll cost around 8p an hour to run while dehumidifying – but this will vary slightly, depending on the setting you choose. This is easy to do; the filter just slides out from the back, whereby you can remove the HEPA filter and either wash it in warm soapy water or use a vacuum to remove any dust.

However, overall, its clear the MeacoDry Arete One dehumidifier has impressed nearly all who have used it. This is the type of dehumidifier that works best in warmer temperatures (of 10°C for our 20 and 25L and 15°C for our smaller units). The MeacoDry Arete One is an effective dehumidifier for larger spaces, and is wonderfully simple to use. Overall, when you compare the energy use of a dehumidifier to how much it costs to run a tumble drier, an efficient dehumidifier like the MeacoDry Arete One could work out a more economical way of drying clothes quickly indoors, especially if you're considering pairing it with one of the best heated clothes airers on the market.of moisture from the air per day, compared to the MeacoDry Arete One range which can extract 10, 12, 20, or 25L of moisture per day! The MeacoDry Arete One is a compressor dehumidifier –you can read about the difference between desiccant vs compressor dehumidifiers in our handy guide. The only downsides for me are that there is no timer, and this dehumidifier doesn't have any Wi-Fi compatibility, which is a bit of a shame because I’d love to have been able to operate it remotely via an App.

Overall, I think this is a best-in-class dehumidifier that does a fantastic job of extracting moisture from the home and drying washing fast. Dehumidifiers are not as common an appliance in the UK as you might imagine, especially given our damp, maritime climate. It comes down to the efficiency of the unit and the features that have been added to help you control how and when the dehumidifier works. The Arete One is at its noisiest in clothes drying mode, where you’re looking at sound levels of over 50dB and power consumption of over 208W.I suffer from hayfever, and when I left the dehumidifier running all night, I woke up and didn’t have any allergy symptoms at all. What’s more, the new model comes in a 25L variant for larger households, which isn’t an option with the ABC range.

I tested the MeacoDry Arete One dehumidifier in a couple of different areas throughout my home to get a good feel of exactly what it could do. 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.Arete is the Greek Goddess of Excellence in all things and, with this range of dehumidifiers, this is exactly what we have achieved. Our control logic also manages the fan speed to increase extraction rates when required and switch to a quieter mode when the target humidity is almost reached. We feel that the Night Mode is not just for night time but anytime when you want the dehumidifier to be as quiet as possible.
