MeacoDry Arete® One 12L dual Dehumidifier & HEPA air purifier for regular sized homes - prevents damp and condensation - ultra-quiet - low energy laundry mode- night mode - five year warranty

Couldn't live with it, very easy to use and sucks moisture out the air and walls very well. Hasn't completely combatted the mould problem but has made it 100 times more manageable. Also dries clothes very quickly when in laundry mode. Noise isn't too much of an issue. It is not the lightest bit of equipment, especially when the tank is full but it can still be manoeuvred around easily. The addition of the air filter also makes a noticeable difference to the allergens in the air.I will be going to Meaco for any other similar products, such as an air conditioning unit.

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.

Very good product. Robust construction. Easy to empty water tank. Quiet running. Extracts dampness quickly. A good unobtrusive machine which is not too large. Not too heavy so will not be knocked over easily. Well set price compared to other makes. Looks quite pleasing.

Very effective. Has eliminated damp and mould in our small old cottage. It is removing approx. 8 Ltr/day and haven't needed to clean mould in 2 months since purchase. - BUT it is not Ultra Quiet. It is similar to a cheap fan heater (quite noisy) and needs to be turned off at night as it can be heard through our interior walls.

So, I was looking for ways to minimise tumble drying during the cold weather to save on energy costs. And also I wanted to dry clothes quickly indoors. I purchase a heated air recently with cover which took 5-6 hours to dry a regular load excluding heavy bedding, but is still way cheaper than running the tumble. To speed up the drying process I decided to purchase a dehumidifier. I chose this model as it is cheap to run at about 4p per hour and also has good reviews. This de-humidifier (with my heated airer) dried a thick single duvet and it's cover in about over 3.5 hours. No damp patches. Just dry!! I rolled back the airer cover. Not sure if that was the best way, but I will experiment. The 2.5 litre water tank was a bit under half full approx. when finished. If the unit performed so well on a thick duvet, folded in half to get it on the airer, and a duvet cover similarly folded, I am confident that it will dry an ordinary load very quickly. Very pleased. Easy to empty water tank. Not too heavy. Has a carry handle. Clear instructions and easy to use. It comes with a free hepa filter which is optional and only needs to be fitted if you want to purify the air as well. I will keep this little gem and register for my free 5 year warranty.

You definitely get what you pay for. This dehumidifier is quiet, energy efficient therefore cheap and drys clothes in no time. The amount of water it's sucking out of the air is incredible, just think all that water would be in your house making the windows mouldy etc. Very much worth it!Plus it's small and light enough to move around and very easy to operate

This arrived assembled ready to use. The Handle is clearly marked and pulls up and can be pushed in again for storage. The filter cover comes off easily and the filter provided slides in the black cover which pulls off to the left, the then it can all be slid back in place. You don’t have to use the filter, it is used for air purification. It runs a bit quieter without the filter. I left the filter in because it can collect dust, dust mites etc. The filter can be taken out & hoovered with a soft brush hoover attachment. Easy to use buttons on the top which light up with a simple push. . I used it first in dampish bedroom & it sucked up loads of moisture. The water tank has a window to show the level of water. It will turn off when full. The tank simply slides out and can be tipped in the sink to empty. It then slides back in and push. There is an attachment for a hose if you want to keep it on constantly. There is a button for using it if you are drying WASHING in the house. It will give an extra boost to collect the moisture in the room where the washing is drying. There is a button for night time where the lights go off and it runs at a lower speed so is very quiet. Every time I’ve used it, it has collected moisture. Easy to use, I recommend it.
