Introducing the NEW Meaco Arete Two 12L dehumidifier! With an extraction rate of up to 12 litres per day, it's ideal for combatting damp, mould and condensation, and facilitating laundry drying in flats and 1-3 bedroom homes. It also functions as an air purifier for two-in-one excellence!
It's part of the second generation of Meaco's Arete range, which is the brand's best-ever dehumidifier and Europe's best-selling dehumidifier! The new Arete Two range is the brand's smartest dehumidifier yet! With more control than ever before, it has been designed to work around you and your needs to save you time and energy.
With an extraction rate of up to 12 litres per day, this Meaco 12L dehumidifier is ideal for combatting damp, mould and condensation, and facilitating laundry drying in flats and 1-3 bedroom homes.
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 first 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.
The new Arete Two range builds on this excellence with some impressive new features for more control than ever before!
The Arete Two features the same whisper-quiet motor that the brand uses in their fans. This latest-generation DC motor delivers over 60% more power while using less energy compared to the AC motor in the Arete One.
This ensures low running costs, making the Arete Two Meaco's lowest cost to run dehumidifier! It costs from just 3p per hour (based on 24.5p per kWh) to run this 12 litre model, and with a noise level of just 35dB, you'll hardly notice when it's running. Say goodbye to clunky noises and hello to more power for less energy.
The Arete Two has 3 fan speeds (low, medium and high) instead of the standard 2 (low and high) on the Arete One. This additional fan speed ensures proportional control, with gentle acceleration and deceleration between the different modes.
The high mode on this 12 litre Arete Two model reaches 140m³/h airflow - that's 40m³/h more than the 12 litre Arete One model! Thanks to the latest-generation DC motor (see above), it can move up to 60% more air for rapid dehumidification and faster laundry drying than ever before!
With a dedicated smart laundry mode, NEW higher fan speed (see above) and NEW manually-adjustable louvre, 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, put the dehumidifier in laundry mode and direct the airflow on to your clothes for significantly reduced drying times.
The NEW adjustable laundry mode timer on the Arete Two also allows you to set a timer between 1-12 hours depending on how big or small your laundry load is.
The Meaco Arete Two dehumidifier also functions as an air purifier for two-in-one excellence, saving you money and space straight away! It's equipped with a 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.
Thanks to the whisper-quiet DC motor (see above), you'll hardly notice when the MeacoDry Arete Two dehumidifier is running. This 12 litre model has a noise level of just 35dB, which has earned it a Quiet Mark certification. It took Meaco 18 months of testing to produce the quietest dehumidifiers that they have ever made!
The Arete Two features a new high humidity indicator which shows you when you need to switch the dehumidifier back on to continue optimising the humidity level in your home. "WET" will appear on the display if the humidity level significantly increases above your normal target, e.g. if you turn the dehumidifier off after washing a load of laundry or to go away for the weekend.
It also features a new heart indicator which shows the optimum relative humidity for the average home in the UK. You'll see a little love heart on the display telling you that 55% RH is the best target humidity to set.
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 or even mounted on the wall (brackets not included). 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.
The NEW unique, premium LCD 'Chase' display allows you to see all of the information that you need at a glance for more control than ever before over your home's humidity. This includes current humidity, target humidity, recommended humidity, progress to optimum humidity, current mode, timer, "WET" indicator, tank full indicator and WiFi/app pairing.
With the NEW Meaco app, you can now control every setting from the palm of your hand! Check the humidity level, change the mode, adjust the fan speed and more without having to move from the couch. Already in bed and forgot to set the dehumidifier to night mode? It's no problem - just use the app!
You can also link the Arete Two to your Amazon Alexa and Google Home apps, and even set-up rooms, for voice command via your smart speaker. "Okay Google, turn on the kitchen dehumidifier". "Alexa, change Arete to laundry mode". It's that easy!
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.
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.
