The unit also supports continuous drainage, although you’ll need your own hose and a nearby drain or sink.

While no machine can eradicate major damp issues once and for all the latest crop of machines do a brilliant job of minimising moisture in the air. There are neat touches within the design too, including a laundry drying mode that can help you tackle damp clothes hanging up by running a full six hour session in one go. The advantage of the size, drying power and capacity is that the Arete One can dehumidify larger areas than your average 10-12L dehumidifier.
