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

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!

We bought this when our black+decker dehumidifier broke and we've used it all year round for 2/3 years. It is one of the best purchases we have ever made. It is really easy to set up comes with wheels to put on however if you have carpets you can leave them off. There is a handle which helps with manoeuvrability if you can't roll on hard floors. There is an air filter on the back which you dont notice when your in the room but notice when you clean it with your hoover. It is quite large in size and large in capacity at 10L and isn't the best looking so will need a dedicated storage space however as stated can be rolled or picked up. There are multiple functions, clothes drying which runs until clothes would be dry. This is the function we use the most and can dry a load of washing in up to 6 hours quicker if the heating is on. As this works better when it is hot. Another function is humudity where you can set the humidity you would like it to be and it will get to that number. Finally there is night mode where it sporadically comes on throughout the night - it is so quite compared to our old dehumidifier you will barely notice it. To get rid of the water there a large pull out tray that you take out the machine and you can pour it down the sink, toilet, bath, shower, plants you name it. I have not used this feature but you can connect with a hose and feed the humid water elsewhere (not entirely sure how this works). They also offer a fantastic warranty period on the product. Overall great product and great craftsmanship, if I needed another I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I found that whenever I got onto my Elliptical Cross Trainer for an hour or two, my windows would get steamed up. This had led to paintwork damage and mould developing, and would lead to the woodwork being damaged if I didn't do anything about it. So the search was on for a dehumidifier! I would have loved one with some kind of HomeKit or Alexa compatibility but I needed a reliable one. I have everything automated so that when I start an elliptical exercise on my watch then the lights turn off and the Sky Mini Box turns on etc. In the end, I decided on the MeacoDry Arete One 10L. And I couldn't be happier. Meaco are known for Dehumidifiers. This model isn't 'Smart' though, so I use it with a Smart Plug, and now it turns on whenever I start an Elliptical on my watch. Works fine! I understand from research that it is better not to turn off the Dehumidifier immediately after my workout with a routine; the MeacoDry Arete One is designed to just stay on. It likes to run every 30 minutes to measure the humidity, and then run on until it reduces the humidity to the level you set. Once it is at its target humidity, it turns on every 30 mins or so, checks the humidity and if it is happy, then it turns off shortly after. That would then be the best time to power off the Meaco, when it is in a check mode and it isn't processing moisture. In practice, I leave it on a couple of hours or so after my workout and then I power it off from the Smart Plug. In Use: It's relatively quiet. I don't hear it above the huff and puff of me on the Elliptical. If it's on and I'm watching the TV, I'll need to turn the volume up 3 notches. I find that it is on a par with the fan in my room. Efficiency: It's very efficient. Before I bought it, I would work out on the elliptical and after an hour or so, my bay windows are covered in damp. Yay! I was working out, man. Now, I have to have a really intense workout to see any damp on my windows. And then by the end of my workout, I usually don't see any damp. If I notice any damp at all when I've finished my workout, the Meaco clears it within 30 mins or so. I'm on an exercise crusade at this time and I workout for at least two hours a day, and I tend to have to empty the Meaco about once a week. I've had this machine for about two months now and I can't even begin to imagine where all that damp would have gone! A highly recommended machine. I might just need another one for the loft; the on-suite bathroom does get steamed up despite the extractor fan being on.

I've been using my dehumidifier for about a year now, and it's been fantastic quality. It collects water so nicely, and it really makes drying clothes so much easier. Honestly, I'm really happy with this purchase. It's made a noticeable difference in my home. The capacity is great, and it's not too noisy either. I can definitely recommend this if you're looking for a reliable unit. It's been a game-changer for dampness. Definitely a worthwhile investment!

I ordered 3 of these to keep near water sources in the house. They do a fantastic job and do not take nearly as much power as older dehumidifiers that I have used in the past. The unit is sleek, easy to empty and easy move around. The integrated air purifier is just the cherry on top. I did have some difficulty with quality though. One of the units I received did not pull any water. After some convincing, they did replace the unit. Another never arrived, and it took a month to get the replacement. Overall, great dehumidifier, and acceptable customer service.

I am delighted with the Arete One. I principally bought it to dehumidify our daughter's stubbornly damp bedroom. It is doing a fantastic job of doing that, removing several litres of moisture every week. I hoped it might also help a bit with her hay fever (which yes, kicks in in January/Feb these days). And it is doing a brilliant job of doing so - reduced her symptoms overnight. Well worth the money: it's a quality item, beautifully designed and made (it's one of John Lewis's best sellers in the category). I went for the 'pebble' colour, and it happily blends in in a corner of the room. The sound is impressively quiet: a gentle hum only. It's very, very easy to use. Very highly recommended.

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.

Bought this a couple of weeks back and so far very impressed with it. I have had to empty it about 5/6 times already ( just me , not included my wife ). It works really well. Although I don't believe the Humidity levels are correct on the device ( it fluctuates too much for it to be accurate ) it still does a pretty good job at taking the humidity out of the room. We use it when we dry the laundry and do the ironing ( family of 5 with 3 teenagers... ) and the laundry dry within 24 hours or overnight ( combined with the central heating ). It does make a noise when on , and it CAN be distracting when there is no other noise in the room. But it's not that bad. It's like having a fan on . I wouldn't run it in a bedroom at night if you like a quiet room to sleep. I guess it will also depend on the type of floor you put it on. Ours is on a wooden floor so the noise would be higher than a concrete floor due to vibrations. Nonetheless it is a very good device so far. Works as intended and even more in our case as we thought it wouldn't do much but it actually does. I'd say for those who want to use it for laundry drying , that it would help when you are in between 2 seasons and it's not cold enough for the central heating to kick in all day, and the weather is too cold/wet to dry outside. Would definitely recommend this dehumidifier so far. Hope it will last us long enough without issues... Did I mention it was also guaranteed for 5 years? No ? Well it is...;-)

Really good and silent product!

Me ha venido un manual completamente en Ingles y no tengo ni idea, no me pdeis madar o donde lo puedo conseguir en Español: MANUAL: MeacoDry Arete One oa abjunto foto del manual en Ingles.

Perfect

Ich bin mit dem Luftentfeuchter mit Luftreiniger sehr zufrieden. Das Gerät tut definitiv seinen Job. Besonders beim Wäschetrocknen merkt man den Unterschied deutlich: Ohne das Gerät verteilt sich die Feuchtigkeit im Raum und es entsteht schnell ein unangenehmer Geruch. Mit dem Gerät wird die Feuchtigkeit zuverlässig aufgenommen und die Luft bleibt deutlich angenehmer. Man kann sich ganz normal im Raum aufhalten, ohne dass es stört. Für mich war es ein sehr guter Kauf und ich kann ihn mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

Leiser Luftentfeuchter, der sehr gut entfeuchtet.
