MeacoDry Arete® One 10L dual Dehumidifier & HEPA air purifier for smaller sized houses or flats - prevents damp and condensation - ultra-quiet, low energy, laundry mode- five year warranty

This works lovely and is great for drying clothes!We usually have it in the bathroom which gets very humid when the shower is usedThe water tank fills steadily but is easy to remove... though it can be awkward tipping the water out into the sink as it just pours out of the corner holesThe unit is quite heavy to lift but pushes around easily on its wheelsWe have a clothes airer with it and its amazing how quickly clothes dry despite having no additional heat applied...This defo cuts down on electricity costs instead of using the tumble dryerIt sits humming away, but its not a loud noise - still, i wouldn't want it in my bedroom with me over night as I like the quiet... though I'm sure you'd get used to it!The buttons are all easy to use and the menu is simple - we usually have it set on CO (continuous) on the humidity setting whilst drying clothes so it goes full whack all the timedefo recommend

Good, compact design. Easy to move around. Very efficient, keeps air dry and works much better inside the flat comparing to a previous one we had (desiccant one).It is also very quiet, great progress over the years.

This 10L model is the smallest of the range suitable for smaller homes or bungalows. Well made and designed and very effective even after only one days use. Helps reduce condensation on windows overnight when cold outside. My only comment would be that it is a bit noisier than expected, whilst not a problem during the day not sure I would want it running all night I would probably find it disturbing. There is a night function which is quieter but for me not quiet enough! I run it for several hours each day and it works very well but not overnight and still effective. After a few hours the air in the home seems fresher and easier to breath. It certainly reduces the moisture in the air and very effective. Highly recommended but just be aware of the fan noise.

Have only been using this for just over 2 weeks and it is helping to reduce the humidity in our 2 bed flat - but as soon as we switch it off the humidity levels shoot back up. We are getting a professional damp survey done as we have levels of between 70-80%.! Have also found the humidity level displayed on the machine is normally around 10% higher than the independent hygrometers we have in all the rooms!We have the 10L machine - but not quite sure why it's called this as there is just 2.5L of water in the tank when it's full - and consequently stops.However, it's still helping our problem but feel we may have a bigger structural issue which we hope will be identified by a professional survey.

In hardly do reviews, only bother when an item exceeds my expectations. Well, Meaco Arete 10 dehumidifier and air purifier did just that.Not only does it dehumidify brilliantly, it also purifies the air at the same time. The smart functionality helps to save electricity by switching device off and on when desired humidity level is attained or exceeded.Sound is relatively low compared to other dehumidifiers. However, don't expect it to be entirely unnoticeable, depending on its location around the house. You certainly can't sleep with it running, of you're a light sleeper.A strong point is its ability to dry clothes very quickly. It has a laundry function which is handy. Although I use the regular setting. A full laundry load gets dry in under 24hrs, absolutely splendid. It shuts off automatically when the bucket is full.I also noticed the Arete makes the room warmer by up to 4 degrees, depending on the external temperature. I bought this when the weather was still a bit warmer and noticed a considerable increase in room ambient temperature running the Arete. Now that outdoor temperature is around a max of 8 to 10 degrees, I think it raises ambient temperature by up to 2 degrees. My observation. One thing is certain, the removal of excess moisture from the atmosphere means you can heat your home up to temperature a lot quicker than otherwise, thereby saving on energy bills.Overall, I'd happily recommend the Meaco Arete or any good condenser humidifier. We have two at home, the second being the Argos Challenger. The Challenger being the first I bought. Had I known about the Arete beforehand, wouldn't have bought the Challenger. Nonetheless, it works well to, albeit without the smart functions. The Challenger runs until it's turned off or gets full. Also uses a bit more electricity compared to the Meaco Arete 10L.A good buy. If you're thinking about a dehumidifier, please go ahead and buy one. They're not cheap but a good one like the Arete is well worth every penny!

This is a wonderful product. It need to be running most of the time but we have dramatically reduced the condensation in our apartment. It fills up the reservoir in 24hrs and sounds an alarm to let you know it needs emptying.It also has a smart program where you can set the humidity target and it will stay on until it reaches the target. It will then go to sleep and check every 30 mins to see of it needs to be on a again.At night time it has a night time function where it drops lower to be quieter and the lights switch off. This is cracking as even the smallest amount of light gives the cats the zoomies.This has a really good filter to add and so purifies the air as well which means less sneezing for us.Overall is a superb product. It's design is such that it can be mounted on a wall and shaped to allow the air to be drawn in at the back.
