Just switch Arete® on and let it do the work for you. Brand new for 2022. We’ve designed this unit in the UK with the help of around 2000 customers, over a period of five years, so we know exactly what people are looking for and what’s most important to them. That’s why Arete® is super-quiet. It’s why we’ve made it easy to move around – with furniture-style feet so it fits in with your décor, and castors so you can roll it to a new location whenever you need to.
It’s why we’ve added a medical-grade HEPA filter for better air purification. It’s why the water tank has lips on both sides so it doesn’t matter if you’re left-handed or right-handed – it’s always easy to empty the tank*. It’s why it comes with a special adaptor in the lid so you can attach your garden hose to re-use the water – no need to buy another plastic hose from us. Working sustainably as well as intelligently.
Award-winning excellence in your home
Arete® is the Greek goddess of excellence. We took our inspiration from that name and have spent around five years designing and refining this collection so that it delivers a great experience every time you switch it on.
Designed in Britain for the British weather, using teams based in London, Cambridge and Guildford, Arete® is designed to blend perfectly into your home without losing any of the practical functionality – so it works brilliantly and it looks fantastic. Hidden in plain sight and working hard for a better home environment, you’ll soon wonder how you did without it.
And that’s why we’ve added a 5-year parts and labour warranty. We are serious about looking after our customers and we want our products to last as long as possible in your home. So just call us if you need to – we are always here to help.

'I was amazed at just how smart this machine was' - Express
'I have just started using this and and what impressed me is that it much quieter than the Meaco 12L low energy dehumidifier which was almost industrial by comparison - it is so quiet. The Arete rates five stars+' - Meaco customer

Ive had nothing but problems with Meaco dehumidifiers they never last more than 12 months and Meaco charge you to return it back to them , also customers service is bad and you have to fill out endles forms with them to even be able to return it , I recently switched to ebac one and its brilliant, also Meaco seem to lie on coverage as they said it was for. 3-4 bedroom house but it struggled doing just upstairs! Now with my new ebac one it can do all our house upstairs and down with no problems, Bear this in mind

It's funny as they have such good reviews generally. Which shows 12% of units have to be repaired in first 5 years. Pro breeze and Delonghi rates are 3 & 2% respectively.

The bigger the better. cheaper to have a big unit, than having to replaster and redecorate .

Does matter what it cost. what the big units do covers the cost. ( Health. redecorating replaster).
What ever is your budget get what you can afford. great units that are vital as the cost of energy is going up home not getting heated as much as a few years ago. so moisture is now a big factor. (edited)

Worth bearing in mind the Arete two range is supposed to be announced in 2023. One poster in another thread claimed they received a response to their enquiry in early Dec it was still due to be this month

Saw this in a blog post on their website that it was going to be January. My old dehumidifier failed last week, so I'm holding out for the Arete Two.

I bought a 12l Arete which I find Perfectly adequate for my 4 bed house, my friend like a lot of others think that bigger is better! He bought the 25L Arete. I totally disagree, I like the portability of the smaller 12L it gets the job done! You try lugging the 25L up and down the stairs Stick with the 12L You will not be disappointed. (edited)

Just bought a 25L from airconcentre.co.uk and am so happy. I ordered Friday 29th at 19:00 and received it at Saturday morning. Such a fast delivery and free as well. Unit removes moisture so well and already i feel the positive effects on my windows and air feel so much nicer.

I purchased a second 12L from John Lewis this week at the same price. I hope it will arrive w/o issues.
I learned the hard way that I had to use two dehumidifiers for both downstairs and upstairs. I am sick and tired of mould

We’ve had an Arete One 25l for about a month and it keeps accumulating water underneath the water tank, to the point where it was almost leaking out onto the floor (the tank itself wasn’t even half full). Trying to get support is painful, on the verge of just returning it to Argos for refund at this stage (no stock available)
UkGotHotDeals
Try reseating the lid for the water collection tank, also make sure the float is not obstructed.

i have this model and I'm very pleased with it, it can dry several loads of washing in a few hours and there's no signs of damp, I use it in my spare room with the door closed.

MeacoDry Arete® One 18L Dehumidifier & Air Purifier, £224.98 Costco.
Jessie72
I bought one at the end of the summer. I had an electriq before this one. Honestly the electriq was really good as well. Would also recommend them. This 12L arete dries my clothes hung in bathroom almost overnight. It does have the annoying 6 hour shut off on laundry setting, so I just restart it when I have my middle of the night loo run, or leave it on normal dehumidifier as it boosts up when humidity higher. Get the hepa filters. The amount of dust those pick up is to mind blowing. I hoover my filter when I remember - so it is an air purifier in one. I bought this dehumidifier end of summer and best purchase of past year. Won’t recommend it for 3 bedroom house though. Go bigger.
