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 the 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 Anne: Asked on 02/12/2025 Why is this called a 20L when it cuts out after collecting 4.8L
Hi, The ‘20L’ refers to how much moisture the dehumidifier can remove from the air in a day, while the 4.8L tank is just how much water it can hold before needing to be emptied.
Thank you.
Question from Jaulze: Asked on 02/12/2025 Hi, does this machine have automatic humidity sensor, so it comes in when needed and then turns off.
Many thanks.
Hi, The Meaco Arete One 20L has a built-in humidity sensor, so it automatically turns on when the air is humid and switches off once your desired humidity is reached, then checks periodically to maintain that level.
Thank you.
Question from Dorothy: Asked on 28/11/2025 Does this product have a extraction pipe feature?
Hi Dorothy,The Meaco Arete One 20L Low Energy Laundry Dehumidifier does support an extraction pipe feature. It has a drainage port that allows you to connect a standard garden hose for continuous drainage, so you don’t need to manually empty the water tank. However, the hose is not included, and the unit relies on gravity for drainage (though a separate pump can be used if needed).Thanks!
Question from David: Asked on 23/11/2025 Hi there,
Is this product both a dehumidifier and air purifier? This isn't specified in the product title so I want to double check.
Thanks
Hi David, yes, this model functions as both a dehumidifier and an air purifier. It removes excess moisture from the air while its built-in HEPA filter helps clean and purify the air, giving you a more comfortable and healthier indoor environment. Thank you.
Question from Patrick: Asked on 20/11/2025 How often does the HEPA filter need to be replaced.
Hi Patrick, the HEPA filter is not life-long and must be replaced when the colour changes from white to grey (it depends on the environment the dehumidifier is being used in, but the HEPA filter will need replacing roughly every 3 months). Thank you.
Question from Liz: Asked on 19/11/2025 Can this be set to come on at the same time each night using the timer or does it need to be reset daily?
Hi Liz,The Meaco Arete One 20L dehumidifier’s timer needs to be reset daily; it doesn't repeat automatically. You could use a smart plug to schedule it if you'd prefer automatic daily operation.Thanks!
Question from WWC: Asked on 14/11/2025 Alto off when water tank full? And timer ?
Hi,The Meaco Arete 20L Dehumidifier features an auto-off function that stops the unit when the water tank is full, preventing overflow. Additionally, it has a 24-hour timer, allowing you to set the dehumidifier to run for a specific duration and automatically turn off afterward, offering both convenience and energy efficiency.Thanks!
Question from Daisy: Asked on 14/11/2025 What colour wave is this? Looking for warm pebble
Hi Daisy,The Meaco Arete One 20L Low Energy Laundry Dehumidifier features a soft, neutral pebble grey color with warm, beige undertones, making it a versatile and understated addition to any room. Its subtle, inviting hue blends easily with various interior styles, from modern to traditional, without overwhelming the space.Thanks!

Question from Begum: Asked on 20/09/2025 Can this be put against the wall
Hi,Yes, the MeacoDry Arete20L dehumidifier can be placed against the wall, thanks to its side air intakes. This design allows it to sit discreetly against a wall, saving floor space while maintaining optimal airflow and performance.Thanks!
