Dehumidifier excellence.

Meaco is recognised as one of the best dehumidifier brands on the market. Established over 30 years ago, they've received many awards for their dehumidifier performance and reliability.

After 5 years of research and development, and with the input from over 2000 of their customers, the brand launched their Arete dehumidifier range in 2021. They listened to and learned from their customers, and all of that new knowledge is in the details that make the Arete so special. Arete is the Greek goddess of excellence and this is exactly what Meaco have achieved.

Not only has the Arete been designed to successfully fulfil Meaco's customer needs - it has also been designed by their British design team specifically for the British climate. As it has been built to accommodate the weather patterns and how we live our lives here, it can extract more water with less electricity used and operate in low temperatures down to 5°C for optimum performance.

All of this makes the Arete Meaco's best-ever dehumidifier! It's also Europe's best-selling dehumidifier! It's loved by Meaco's customers around the world and has won multiple awards for its excellence, including Red Dot Design, Which? Best Buy and Quiet Mark.

Meaco's lowest cost to run dehumidifier!

The Arete is Meaco's most energy-efficient dehumidifier! This ensures low running costs from just 5p per hour for this 20 litre model! (Based on 24.5p per kWh.)

Meaco's fastest and cheapest laundry-drying dehumidifier!

With a dedicated smart laundry mode, drying your washing indoors has never been easier or more efficient. Simply hang your wet clothes on an airer, place them in a room with the dehumidifier and put the dehumidifier in laundry mode for significantly reduced drying times.

Meaco's best combined dehumidifier and air purifier!

The Meaco Arete One dehumidifier also functions as an air purifier for two-in-one excellence, saving you money and space straight away! It's equipped with a washable dust filter and a medical-grade H13 HEPA filter which filter out dust, allergens and pet dander while the machine is dehumidifying to improve the air quality in your home.

It also has a dedicated air purification mode for use as an air purifier only. In this mode, airflow is directed through the HEPA filter which removes 99.95% of airborne particles to clean the air in the room. This is ideal if you struggle with hayfever and/or other allergies.

A charcoal filter is also available to buy separately, which removes smells and volatile organic compounds from the air.

Meaco's quietest dehumidifier!

The MeacoDry Arete One dehumidifier is whisper-quiet and Quiet Mark certified, so you'll hardly notice when it's running. It took Meaco 18 months of testing to produce the quietest dehumidifiers that they have ever made! At only 38dB, this 20 litre model is more than 2x quieter than the industry standard for a dehumidifier of this size!

Blends seamlessly in to any home environment.

After their customers told them that they never put their dehumidifier away, Meaco designed the Arete to be both stylish and space-saving. It has a sleek, compact design and unique side air intake, so it can be pushed up against any wall. It's unobtrusive, so it won't take up much space in your home. It also has low weight, a carrying handle and castor wheels for easy movement around your home.

Large 4.8 litre water tank that's easy to access and empty.

Emptying the water container is the most common action that a dehumidifier owner needs to do, so Meaco knew that it was important to make sure that the Arete's tank is easy to access and empty.

When they were designing the Arete, they studied how their customers remove the water tank from their dehumidifier, where they put their fingers and how they balance the tank. This research heavily influenced the Arete’s water container design.

The Arete has two very large slots left and right of the machine that your fingers naturally drop in to. This allows perfect purchase on the water tank, so you can pull it out smoothly, place it on the floor and then lift it by the integrated handle.

And there’s a simple yet clever solution for pouring out the water too. The Arete's water container has two spouts, one on the left and one on the right, so you can pour the water out without having to juggle or twist the tank.
