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

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.

Excellent, quiet and does perfect job. We had a diferent model for a while still running but this one way more efficient and cheaper to run.

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.

Arete One Dehumidifier – My Review After One Week I’ve been using the Arete One for the past week, and I’m really impressed with its performance! My flat’s humidity used to stay around 70%, but the Arete One is doing a great job of bringing it down. What surprises me most is that I’m emptying almost 12 litres of water from the tank every day. I honestly didn’t realise there was so much moisture in the air! Another big advantage is drying clothes indoors. At night, I wash my clothes, put them on a drying rack, and leave the Arete One running. It helps dry the clothes while controlling the humidity in my flat. I also think it’s a more energy-efficient alternative to using a tumble dryer or a washer-dryer for drying clothes. It can help save electricity and avoid the wear and tear that clothes may experience in a tumble dryer. My only concern is the humidity reading. I have a separate digital humidity meter, and even when I place it close to the Arete One, the readings are slightly different. For example, the Arete One shows 59%, while my digital meter shows 63%. I’m not sure which reading is more accurate, and I’d be interested to know if other users have noticed the same thing. Overall, I’m very happy with the Arete One so far. It’s doing exactly what I wanted it to do, and I’m looking forward to seeing how well it performs over the coming months!

Great dehumidifier, particularly love the clothes drying setting - clothes feel like they dry considerably faster. Thank fills up quite quickly but I just take that to mean it’s doing its job. Has wheels and a handle for easy movement around the house. 4 stars only because the night mode is not as quiet as I would like, unless you are a deep sleeper it will likely wake you up as it turns on intermittently overnight onto quite a loud mode. Other than that brilliant.

This dehumidifier had exceeded my expectations. Laundry mode has speeded up clothes drying so much and completely removed damp feeling and smell even when there is no heating. Very easy to use.

Great de-humidifier, certainly lot better than my previous purchase which is sitting in the cupboard as they want it returned to china, even although ordered from a UK Company..well after that error, I did more in-depth research and came across this one, dont think I made any mistakes here..after many searches on many de-humidifiers this one stood out, granted a little more than most but it works perfect, I have it located upstairs and have no further concerns regarding humidity on my windows. There is 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and hallway with stairs, you can hear it at night but you get used to it, loss less quiter than previous which was only halgf the size. It's great that you can set the humidity levels, have a night mode which does make the fan go a little bit more silent, the light indicators can be swithced to night mode (Off) and the clotrhes assistant drying function is a great bonus, my clothes only take about a day to dry now as opposed to 2/3 and running is certainly a lot more cheaper that the tumble dryer which I gave away after getting this. So as you can probably tell I am pretty pleased with my purchase, such a pity I never came across this before purchasing the Dewett Dehumidifier, could have saved myself £138..cant even sell on e-bay at reduced price..anyway this was a great buy

Very effective and it is very quiet. I have only used the dehumidifier function and am very pleased how quickly it reduces the humidity in my 2 bedroom apartment.

Avevo un problema di umidità importante, questo è un ottimo prodotto mi sta aiutando molto a mantenere l’aria alla giusta umidità. Poco rumore e consumi ridotti. Per il momento lo sto usando svuotando il serbatoio ma ha anche la possibilità di mettere un tubicino di scarico(comprandolo a parte) credo che lo metterò più avanti.

Ottimo, eccellente, di grande qualità ed efficace. Lo sto provando ormai da circa due mesi e riscontro riduzione effettiva dell' umidità (all' inizio va tenuto acceso per molte ore in ogni stanza, dipende dal grado di umidità e dalle dimensioni della stanza, ma in media sei ore al giorno), poi gradualmente si assiste ad un miglioramento in quanto si abbassa il livello di umidità fino a diventare ottimale. Una volta raggiunto il livello che non permette la rinqacita di muffe (tra il 50% e il 55% di umidità in media), basta accenderlo un' oretta al giorno in ogni stanza. Il filtro hepa inoltre rende l' aria più piacevole da respirare. Gli effetti non sono immediati, ma graduali.

Such a good dehumidifier and makes a big difference for our home.

Chiedo informazioni a qualcuno riguardo il display non scende come temperatura al di sotto di 64 gradi se imposto la temperatura a 65 gradi non si spegne quando arriva a temperatura è normale?il problema dell'umidità non posso dire niente risolto il problema qualcuno sa darmi qualche informazione in merito grazie mille in anticipo

Remplace un autre déshumdificateur qui m'avait tenu 8 ans en usage quotidien ! J'espère qu'il tiendra autant. En tout cas fonctionne parfaitement et est très discret.
