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 our 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.
Tech spec
* 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.

sorted byAs for the dehumidifier it is a great machine. Sturdy, well built and extracts an incredible amount of water from the air. Game changer for drying clothes during the winter months. This is an excellent price for thius make/model.
All seems fine and I've absolutely no complaints about the service. Hope everybody else who has ordered this and the smaller units on the other posts over the last couple of days have as good an experience 🙏 (edited)
Excellent service from the seller
It is quieter than I expected for quite a large machine compared to the smallish model it replaced and worked to bring the humidity down from 65% to 50% in a couple of hours.
It has started up a few times since then but mainly to check humidity - the compressor has only ran a couple of times for short periods. Looks to be very efficient.
Thanks Barryhotman for the heads up
7. Meaco cannot provide Warranty service to products purchased by unauthorised resellers, auctions or resell sites. Nor can Meaco provide warranties of products bought pre owned / second hand.
I understand that you are looking out for member's interests but please at least do a little bit of research before you post. This company also owns Appliances Direct (rebranded from their requisition of Trade Appliances in 2008) which are also an authorised reseller of Meaco products in the UK.

Or does it need moving around 1 room at a time?
The advice is to leave it on an upstairs landing (or hallway in a single storey home) with as many internal doors open as possible. That way the air will circulate more freely and so the unit is able to filter as much of the damp air as possible and remove the excess moisture. You will probably be shocked at just how much water it will pull from around your home, especially in the first few days and weeks of it being in operation. Once it has reduced the humidity to below the target level, it will work less often. At this stage, if you still have a problem room, or a room that you are unable to circulate the 'air' in, then place the machine in that room and run it until it is clear. The unit is quite heavy but is on castors so it can be wheeled around relatively easily although it's not ideal to be lugging it up and down stairs often. There is a digital display on it that shows the humidity level so you'll soon get a good idea of the levels in your home.
You can also buy cheap humidity/temperature displays from Amazon for £5-£10. Place one by the Meaco for a day to check that the readings are the same (or at least accurate relative to each other) and then you can easily put the Amazon display in different rooms around the house instead of the dehumidifier to check that the humidity is not excessive in one particular part of the house. Hope that helps (edited)
UPDATE: Contacted ebay support. They said what I can't use code because 11years ago my account were open on ebay.com not co.uk.

Disadvantages of this option is what you're not getting this order connected with your account. (edited)

Just buy one you wont regret it.
If you don't often have the heating on the colder air holds less water than warm air so if that water isn't being taken out of the rooms, it will be deposited on walls, in soft furnishings, in carpets etc. and create the perfect environment for mould to grow. If you have problem rooms, it's also important to circulate the 'air' in them by opening windows etc if possible. If not then placing the unit in a problem room should quickly dry it out to the point where mould will no longer have enough moisture to grow. However start by targeting the whole house first as that should be the most effective and yield the best results.
I think you'll be shocked at just how much water this thing will pull out of the air from your home, especially if you leave it on a landing or hallway with room doors open. All that moisture contributes to damp and eventually mould in areas where there isn't much air flow, which in turn can affect the health of you and your family. You can also use it as a clothes dryer during the winter months by putting it in a more enclosed space along with your damp washing. This 25l size machine should dry a machine load of clothing in a few hours, saving money compared to using a tumble dryer or a launderette. Hope you find it useful, but I'm sure you won't regret the purchase . Take care bud
The warranty registered fine.
I didn't expect it to be as heavy as it is (or large) - I purchased it to use in my tanked and converted cellar. I started it as soon as it arrived at 10.30 to dry clothes, by 1pm all the clothes from a full 9kg washing machine were dry. I'm very happy with this.
this is the lowest price Ive seen for this item since I started monitoring it last autumn - next lowest was about £40 to £50 more IIRC
combo of large 25L capacity + HEPA filter + which recommended makes this a good buy at this price
I already have a 12L one but find it struggles to get the humidity below 60% in a coldish environment in even a smallish room so have been on the lookout for a larger capacity one at a decent price for a while now (edited)
I was thinking of getting the 18l model from Costco but this works out only about 15 quid more 🔥 🔥

I wouldn't personally call that a cowboy operation but you're entitled to your opinion I guess
Hopefully you'll be so happy with it that you'll forget all about how much it cost
I don't know enough about the Philips machine although it's not placed in the top 8 of the current good housekeeping guide. goodhousekeeping.com/app…rs/
As it's a medical matter, maybe try and seek advice from a professional body that can let you know if this would be more suitable for your needs.
It does have castors but it is a heavy machine!
