The details
Arete is the perfect solution to dealing with condensation, mould and damp problems either in the home, in a garage, in an unheated basement, on a boat or in a caravan. All Arete One dehumidifiers come with a medical grade H13 HEPA filter which is 75% larger than the filter on our popular Low Energy models. It can be used to clean the air during dehumidification and as a stand-alone air purifier throughout the spring and summer months.
The control panel on Arete One has simple and clearly laid out controls. The buttons that you use most often are larger; the buttons that you hardly ever use are small. Large buttons include controls for Smart Humidity Control, Night and Laundry Mode either of which can be set by pressing just one button.
The intelligent Meaco control logic means that you get a balance between saving mode operation and accurate dehumidification. When the target relative humidity has been reached, the dehumidifier will switch to fan only mode to check that the relative humidity is stable.

Question from Graham P: Asked on 26/11/2025 Morning just bought this humidifier. We live in a static lodge and I was wondering if I could stand it in a corner of the lodge. Thanks Graham P
Hi, You can place the Meaco Arete One 12L in a corner, but make sure there’s about 20–30?cm of space around it so air can circulate. For best results, a more central spot is ideal, and keeping doors open helps the unit remove moisture evenly.
Thank you.
Question from Paul: Asked on 25/11/2025 Is the 12L model suitable for a small 2 bed bungalow
Hi, The Meaco Arete One 12?L is ideal for a small 2-bed bungalow. It’s quiet, energy-efficient, and effectively reduces everyday damp and condensation. For very high humidity, a larger unit might be needed, but for most homes of this size, it’s a reliable choice.
Thank you.
Question from Martin: Asked on 22/11/2025 Does it have castors & handle for lifting ?
What is the cost per hour to run ?
Hi Martin,The Meaco Arete One 12L Low Energy Quiet Dehumidifier (Arete12L) is equipped with castors for easy mobility and a handle for convenient lifting, making it both practical and portable. As for its running costs, it consumes around 200-250 watts of power, which translates to approximately €0.05 per hour to operate, based on an average electricity rate of €0.20 per kWh.Thanks!
Question from Teresa: Asked on 21/11/2025 Just to clarify, this model has an automatic shut off when tank is full ? How heavy is it please thankyou ..iv been looking at this for a long while now..I don't want to be disappointed ??
Hi Teresa,The Meaco Arete One 12L automatically shuts off when the water tank is full, and the unit weighs about 10.9 kg.Thanks!
Question from Sally: Asked on 21/11/2025 We are in a single glazed 1894 house and the condensation runs down the bedroom windows in the winter. We use a large towel to wipe the large windows down every morning. Would this unit help?
Hi sally,The Meaco Arete One 12?L dehumidifier would help reduce the condensation on your bedroom windows, but it probably won’t eliminate it entirely—especially since single-glazed glass in an older house stays very cold in winter. It can lower the room’s humidity, which means less water forming on the glass, and running it overnight or during the day can make a noticeable difference.Thanks!
Question from Sum: Asked on 20/11/2025 Can I know how the water tank looks like and how it looks when removed
Hi Sum, this dehumidifier has a removable water tank at the back of the unit. You simply pull the tank out to empty it, and it features a lid with a pour spout for easy water disposal. The tank also contains a float sensor to monitor water level, ensuring the unit stops automatically when full. Thank you.
