That means you don't need to constantly empty the dehumidifier as I found I was doing with other models. Things such as traffic accidents, extreme weather, vehicle breakdowns might prevent us from getting the right goods to you, undamaged and on time. We have not included a free hose in our dehumidifiers for a few years now because more than 90% of users told us that they do not use them, so they just end up in landfill.

Dehumidifier users most often leave their dehumidifier near bedrooms and in operation for the majority of the time. The attention to detail has been exhaustive as we perfected every interaction between the user and the dehumidifier.It also looks lovely compared to competitors' offerings, with the design making it possible to sit the unit flush to the wall so that it's out of the way. As well as being a dehumidifier, the Arete One is also an air purifier and it can be used as a stand-alone air purifier during months when humidity levels in your home may be lower. The Arete One is also unusual for a compressor-based dehumidifier (one that uses refrigeration to cool and condense water in the air), in that it will work at temperatures of below 10°C. Every aspect of the design and performance of this dehumidifier has the British user and climate in mind.

Once it gets there, it’ll go into standby, checking every half an hour that the humidity hasn’t crept back up again. If there are access difficulties, which prevent our driver from delivering the goods into your property, you can request that we drop the items off outside for you to take in yourself. Arete is flexible as well, the smaller 10 and 12L models can be wall mounted which is great if you want your dehumidifier out of the way. Meaco is a leading manufacturer of dehumidifiers, and the company says that its new MeacoDry Arete One is its best combined dehumidifier and air purifier ever.I don’t have the MeacoDry ABC or Inventor EVA II Pro 20L to hand to make direct comparisons but the Arete One is right up there with them in terms of performance and is either competitive or slightly better on noise and power consumption. Following that, Paul has been Global Editor-in-Chief of BikeRadar and T3 (not at the same time) and later Content Director working on T3, TechRadar and Tom's Guide. Simple - apart from one thing: there’s a plastic cover around the HEPA filter which needs to be removed before use, but it’s not immediately obvious that it’s there. And at just 115W, the MeacoDry Arete One 12L dehumidifier is also very energy efficient compared to most compressor dehumidifiers. Designed to maintain a steady humidity in your home, the control logic function manages the fan speed to increase extraction rates when required.

Packaging inside the box is kept to a minimum, however, whilst the outer box can be recycled, it's disappointing to see the dehumidifier is secured with two large pieces of non-recyclable polystyrene. All Arete One dehumidifiers come with a medical grade H13 HEPA filter which is 75% larger than the filter on Meaco's other Low Energy models, making it a combined dehumidifier and air purifier for use all year round.Maintaining and cleaning the various parts of the MeacoDry Arete One has been made pretty easy, and most people will never need to replace the HEPA filter positioned on the back of the device. Named after the Greek concept of excellence in all things, this hybrid Arete machine is Meaco's best humidifier to date and is ideal for helping to reduce the damp in your home or office. The end result is Meaco's quietest, most energy efficient dehumidifier range yet, with a host of special features to make living with Arete a pleasure. Thankfully, the Arete has a convenient handle on top that helps not only to remove it from the box but also - with the help of castors - subsequently move it around.

However, since letting the dehumidifier run in Smart Humidity Mode is a) easier and b) almost certainly leads to lower electricity bills in the long term, this is not a huge minus point. The air filter is also accessed from the back, this just slides out for easy cleaning and replacement. The advantage of the size, drying power and capacity is that the Arete One can dehumidify larger areas than your average 10-12L dehumidifier. It'll beep to let you know it's full, and switch itself off, or you can see the tank's water level through the window in the front of the machine.Meaco’s existing 20L MeacoDry ABC dehumidifier produced a maximum 44dB(A) of noise at one metre and consumed roughly 244W. For many people, the dehumidifier sits near the bedroom, so keeping the noise down is obviously important. Arete’s Night Mode is not just for night-time but anytime when you want the dehumidifier to be as quiet as possible. The water tank is removed from the front of the machine so it’s really easy to empty and it has a handle which reduces the risk of dropping or spilling water.
