Meaco Arete Dehumidifier & Air Purifier 20L - £259.99 @ John Lewis & Partners

Just had a quick.look.on eBay and somebody is selling a "refurbished" one, but says that it has this missing digit error too... £305 I think it was for the 20l... I would leave it myself.

I got the Blyss one that was
£100 in B&Q 2 months ago, been rather impressed with it, including for small amounts of laundry, (I have a shower and dry my two towels on a radiator with the Unit about 25cm from it, and they are warm and dry in 20 minutes...note that they are only "shower damp" to start with, but it's a good example of how good it is for me, I haven't done the soaked washing thing at all.

but I do think the Meaco Arete.is worth getting as seems that bit better and the Hepa filter is handy but like.gold dust at the moment.

I have this 20l and I wouldn’t say it does all my house I need 3 really one upstairs and one down I expected it to be a lot better than it was 🙈

From the reviews I've read, the air purifier is quite basic. I think it's mainly a good dehumidifier with an ok air purifier.

I run a 12L compressor dehumidifier in a 2 bed detached bungalow and it works fine. It can take days of non stop running at the end of Autumn/beginning of winter, to remove the excess moisture from the fabric of the building. (edited)

The Low Energy uses slightly less energy, but it's also noisier. There Arete comes with a laundry specific button (6 hours with target 35% humidity), while in the Low Energy one you'd have to set it yourself. There are some comparisons online if you are interested in more details.

It might be worth returning the item, mines no noisier than I expected it to be & it definitely doesn't vibrate, is it on the castors that come provided?

Got one!!

Thanks, just nabbed the 25L with 10% off using a JL reward. Will replace a 12L Meaco ABC which wasn’t cutting the mustard in a damp bedroom anymore. 

sames!

Same here 😬 but 25l works better in colder houses so prob suits me better!!

me too bro

I have a 12 L for my 3 bed but it's not a very damp or humid home. I would say you'd probably need 20L you have high humidity and any mould problems

I was just going to ask this as well, as Costco have the 18L for £234.

Showing in stock for me
