Extraction/Per Day (Litres)
Arete Version

Why buy me

  • Take on damp across a larger home: The 20-litre extraction rate gives you more capacity for condensation, mould and excess moisture across several rooms.
  • For as little as 6.9p per hour: At maximum rated power and 26.32p/kWh, the estimated running cost is around 6.9p per hour. Actual use varies with the mode and how often it runs.
  • Dry a full load of washing indoors in around six hours: Laundry Mode draws the water straight out of wet clothes, so the washing dries without a tumble dryer and without leaving condensation on your windows.
  • Set the humidity you want and let it hold it: Power-saving logic maintains your chosen level without constant manual changes, and the digital display shows the current room reading so you can see it working.
  • Spend less time emptying water: The 4.8-litre tank stops automatically when full, helping keep water handling simple.
  • Filter the air as you dry: The included H13 HEPA filter helps capture fine particles while the dehumidifier removes moisture.
  • Keep noise down: At around 38dB, it is designed to run more quietly in rooms where people live, work and sleep.
  • Five years of cover as standard: It comes with a 5-year warranty, which is a long time to be covered on something you leave running through every damp winter.

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.

Key Information

Brand Meaco
Type
Compressor dehumidifiers have refrigerant mechanisms and are generally less expensive to run. Desiccant dehumidifiers are ideal for colder temperatures as they emit warm air. Peltier dehumidifiers are better suited to smaller spaces like bedrooms and cars.
