I’ve owned a few dehumidifiers in the past and this is definitely the best one ever. It is quiet and efficient and does what it should. I love the laundry mode! I’ve stopped using my tumble dryer completely. I like the long guarantee. I am not going to take a star off but it would be useful if it had a handle on the water collector.

Very pleased with this product. I’ve been using for almost 2 months. Air feels cleaner & house smells clean. My home feels warmer too, as the humidifier setting blows out warm air. I don’t like the night time setting, as it’s a bit noisy- so I just put it in another room. Machine is quite heavy to carry up & down the stairs, but it’s do-able. Costs very little money to run. Thumbs up from me.

Just a great product. If anything I’m sad I didn’t get the bigger model, considering just HOW MUCH humidity it helps fight. I live in a one bedroom apartment, it’s perfect for that.

Da ich einen leisen Luftentfeuchter suchte, der auch eventuell abends ins Schlafzimmergestellt werden kann, kam ich auf diesen durch Rezessionen. Wirkungsgrad fr m i c h sehr gut. Habe Ihn z.Z. in meinem Hobbykeller zum Testen. Da dieser nicht ganz so feucht ist habe diesen dann morgens angestellt, und nach ca. 12 Stunden ging er von allein aus da der Behlter voll war…schon sehr gut das funktioniert. Kommt natrlich individuell auf Raumfeuchte, Witterrung und einiges mehr an. Also fr mich war diese Leistung schon mal spitze. Vom Geruschpegel glaub ich das man diesen auch gern in das Schlafzimmer stellen kann. Dort hab ich z.Z. einen Duracraft der auch seine dinge macht nur der Geruschpegel ist um einiges mehr, deswegen ist er in derNacht aus. Stromverbrauch ist bei dem Meaco auch um ca. 30% weniger, hab ich allerdings nur aus der Produktbeschreibung.
Eindeutige Empfehlung von m i r
der Meaco. Preis Leistung ist ok.
Im Nachtrag jetzt nach einiger Zeit bemerkte ich das der Trockner aus geht bei der eingestellten Luftfeuchte von -3% nur er schaltet sich nicht vbei berschreitung der Luftfeuchte von +3% wieder ein.
Kann sein das ein technischer defekt vor liegt, werde das dem Hersteller oder Amazon gleich berichten.

The attraction of this dehumidifier/Air purifier
It is relatively small, mine is a 12 L
In my opinion it could be improved bye having, three selectable Speeds,
And the option of a carbon filter.

Bulky and noisier than other brands. Make it less bulky and noisier you get 5 stars. That’s not to say it hasn’t done what it says on the tin, for sure it has served its purpose.

I live in a flat with no outdoor drying space so this was brilliant for laundry days. Noise levels could be better but it is not so noisy to irritate. It is very efficuent abd has already helped to reduce a few mold spots that were appearing.

Noise level is relatively quiet and efficiency is great. I wouldn’t sleep with it on in the room but it’s quiet enough behind a closed doo

Der Entfeuchter ist nach zwei Tagen geliefert worden. Er war schnell angeschlossen und ist einfach zu bedienen. Er steht im Keller und soll im Sommer die Kondens – Feuchtigkeit in zwei Rumen auf 60% runterregeln. Der alte (25 Jahre!) Trockner ist laut und verbraucht 400 Watt. Nur deswegen suche ich schon seit lngerem einen leiseren und im Unterhalt sparsameren, der viel weniger Strom braucht. Und hier ist er. Den Hepafilter (teuer und fr meine Zwecke berflssig) habe ich entfernt. Achtung: Wer einen Luftfilter braucht, muss die Plastikfolie des Hepafilters entfernen! Ich habe das Gert auf 65% Luftfeuchtigkeit eingestellt und erreiche damit 60% (mit zwei Hygrometern gemessen). Praktisch ist, dass man den Wasserstand gut sehen kann. Der Griff ist obendrauf, versteckt unter einer Banderole.
Hoffentlich hlt er lange…

Wir haben in diesem Frhjahr unsere Heizung frhzeitig abgestellt um Gas zu sparen. Hierdurch war der Keller doch recht feucht geworden, so dass wir Bedenken hatten die Heizung weiter aus zu lassen.
Das Gert hat nun innerhalb von 36 Stunden 20 l Wasser aus der Luft kondensiert, die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist auf 64 % runter und in unseren vier Keller rumen lsst es sich ja sehr viel angenehmer zeit verbringen! Das Gert stellt sich nun automatisch ab und fngt wieder an wenn bentigt. Ich bin gespannt,hab aber das Gefhl das Gert hlt was es verspricht!

It does the job honestly but the down side is expect like 300-350kw usage and the 42-45decibel noise is a lie it’s louder than that and if you put it on laundry mode eats more power and more noise.
Worked perfectly the cord is acceptable long and comes it’s a filter and the warranty just amazing no one will give you 5 years like them today and they should.

All reviews I’d read before purchasing mention how quiet this is. I must say it is until the compressor kicks in, then it is noisy. It is as though something within it vibrates with the casing to give the noise. The solution I’ve found is to use some cardboards to adjust the standing posture of the device until you find a position where the noise is manageable. In terms of the dehumidifier itself, this truly sucks water out from my home! I pour out the full tank every 3 to 4 days at a set RH of 45. Device is placed in the landing area of my 3 bed semi and it takes care of the entire house. Brilliant this is! Quieter would have given this 5 stars. Many thanks.

Decent machine, happy I’ve purchased it, definitely makes a difference. Collects a lot of moisture – full tank every day, now wish I would have gone for a bigger version. The noise is fine but really minimal difference in the night mode so wouldn’t leave it on at night close to bedroom.

I bought this to replace a very old De-Longhui and I’m very impressed. The design is well thought-out, and I particularly like that you can easily clean the reservoir (which can get mouldy after extended use). The controls are easy to use and logical. The ‘night mode’ lowers the noise level, although I still wouldn’t want to have it in a room I’m sleeping in. More expensive than other machines, but these aren’t the sort of thing that are bought very often so I think it’s well worth the money.

We are renovating a property and have used this everyday up till now, and it is a very good machine, easy to use and I think value for money.
XPQEddymnevfdib says:

This is a superb dehumidifier but it’s let down by the capacity of the reservoir tank which is about half that of my previous dehumidifier. No problem if you use the hose of course but that’s not always possible. No wonder it looks so sleek!

We’ve suffered from terrible condensation on our windows for several years now, plus black mold in the corners of some of our ceilings. I’d no doubt this was affecting our health. I honestly never thought about buying anything like this to solve the problem. I wrongly thought that dehumidifiers were only used in houses that suffered flood damage. How wrong was I? Bought one of these on December 23rd 2021. Put it our main hallway (we live in 3 bedroom bungalow) So good was this machine that we decided to buy a second one for our kitchen mostly for drying our laundry. So good at drying our laundry we’ve now sold our tumble dryer. These machines are nothing short of pure magic. It’s lovely to wake up every morning to nice clean and dry windows and no more black mold or that awful smell of damp. The noise levels from this dehumidifier is very low indeed. We run it throughout the night on night mode just outside our bedroom door. The very low drone actually helps put both of to sleep. We even run it on night mode during the day time too. I cannot get over just how great these are. Normally I never bothered with cleaning our windows during winter time before buying these brilliant machines. But I was out cleaning our windows on New Years Day for the very first time ever in my life. I normally didn’t start cleaning our windows until well into springtime or early summer as it just wasn’t worth it. I can’t believe we’ve actually got sparkling clean windows in the middle of January. If you’ve got mold on your ceilings and condensation on your windows then please waste no more time in buying one of these, YES I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM AND I SADLY DON’T WORK FOR MEACO The second one we bought solely for our laundry to save us trailing the one machine from our hallway to the kitchen. Plus it’ll be used as our air purifier during the spring and summer months as we mostly spend more of our time in the kitchen. Thank You Meaco for building such a great dehumidifier. If you’ve got mold and condensation don’t think about it, just buy one of these, or two if necessary

Every house in the UK should have a dehumidifier. This is the second Meaco dehumidifier we have purchased. They do a great job of pulling the damp out of the building. They also aid in drying washed clothes on the rack more swiftly. If you have damp musty smells in you house this eliminates this issue.

Bought after my Mum’s house flooded. This combined with infra red rads have saved one room from mold devastation. It really pulls the moisture out of the air fast. Holds appx 2L and then needs emptying so was emptied daily. When drying clothes, simply aim the fan at the washing and close the door in whatever room they are in. Dry within hours. Wry good purchase during these UK wet months.

Dehumidifies efficiently, and has been operating troublefree for weeks now.
Just remember to take out the pamphlet that’s on the filter before using it.
Very quiet in operation, and nice big water tank.
The pop-up handle is a neat feature, however I would not use it to move the machine over thick carpet.
Overall, this looks to be a good purchase.

Works great, keeps moisture down. We don’t have a damp house but did have with some black mould in the bathroom from poor ventilation (no fan) and a small leak. This deals with this with no problem. The fan noise is quiet but too loud for me to have in tv room or bedroom. It’s on the landing outside the bedroom and can’t hear it with the door shut.

It looks good and fits in with the home compared to other models we’ve had. Overall very pleased so far. The 5 year warranty is good piece of mind too

Bought after researching several dehumidifiers for our period house…and am surely satisfied with this model. It has been generating a tank full (4.8 litres) of water out of the humid air every single day for the last 1 month…usually run it during evenings & overnight in eco/silent mode to maintain default humidity at 50-55%, keeps the condensation away from the ceiling/walls/windows. Also helps the laundry dry faster(~3hrs) by absorbing the moisture, even without using it on laundry mode . Due to lower levels of humidity, we have been able to reduce the duration of CH(Central heating) by about 35-40% during winter, reducing rate of consumption of heating oil, without incurring any noticeable increase in power consumed. Most importantly, the reduction in humidity and circulation of HEPA filtered warm air has eliminated the formation of moulds, in-turn yielding a marked improvement for kids sensitive to/suffering from chronic skin allergies like eczema (that usually gets worse in the monsoon/winter seasons). Noise levels are comparable with the Samsung refrigerator, wheels come in handy to move it around the home easily. It is pricey, but innovative enough to probably payback the cost/effort over time.

Just gets on with it. Removes a frankly astonishing amount of water from the air on my converted cellar. Quiet, large tank and works day in day out. As soon as they are back in stock, I’d like another for my damp bedroom.

Use this dehumidifier as a replacement for one that we had worn out as we do suffer from a condensation problem within our home and our last one was working 24 hours a day at this time of year. Exceptionally quiet, we use it every day. It reduces the condensation levels down within our 3 bedroom bungalow very quickly and reaches the relative humidity we set at 45% within only a few hours per day whilst leaving all internal doors open, all in November which is by far the best unit that we have had to achieve this. Deserves a write up, thumbs up, well chuffed with this purchase! MeacoDry Arete One 25L Dual Dehumidifier.

As you all know, UK is incredibly humid, especially in the old houses. We live in a old house which doesn’t even allow the laundry to dry before 2 to 3 days. Because of this humidity our wardrobe, mirror and shelves got moldy incredibly quickly, we were always dealing with condensation and black mold, bathroom doesn’t have a window so it was always wet but not anymore.

This machine is such a miracle worker, you wouldn’t even believe. First of all, it reduced our allergies significantly. Secondly, no more mold, condensation goes away within minutes, the bathroom dries quickly after starting the machine (to be fair, we never turn it off) and laundry dries within a day. It’s such an amazing machine which purifies the air and sucks up the humidity like a sponge. If you’re every doubting in any way to purchase this machine, don’t and don’t even bother with other small and cheap dehumidifiers because they just don’t work.

I was surprised just how much water this dehumidifier collected. Empty it once or twice a day, but turn off over night. Would recommend buying one if you have problems with damp or condensation.

it does what it suppose to… slightly noisier than expected.. you cant place it in your bedroom but lets be fair it needs to run a fan and a compressor so ……you cant get away with physics.
laundry: it dries my clothes overnight.. (6…7 hours).. with out this it takes 2.5 days for my clothes to dry and they end up smelly bcz of that.. with this no such thing..

I struggle with humidity, makes me very stuffy and short of breath. This guy has been a god sent. We have it running non stop and it pulls 2 to 3 liters a day. Dries any amount or laundry overnight every time and the house never went above 50% humidity. Also heats up a bit which is an added bonus as autumn comes

Positioned in the hallway it works for the whole house upstairs and down. Easy to set up and very efficient. The flexibility in allowing you to change the settings from the manufacturers 55 is a great feature we didn’t have before, it was on quite often on 55 so changed to 60, still very efficient but with less running time. I took a long time to research the options available this was an extremely good choice and highly recommend this product, it also comes with a five year warranty easy to register.

My old Meaco 12L Low Energy dehumidifier was still working fine even after 7 years or so, but I wanted to upgrade to a bigger model since I live in a larger flat now plus you would expect the technology to have moved on a little bit since then.

This new unit is much quieter than the old one and definitely extracts water more quickly despite only using an extra 40 watts or so. I’m also pleased that (like the old model) it allows the use of HEPA filters and they are reasonably priced – not something other brands often seem to care about

There are are a couple of minor complaints though. Firstly the humidity sensor seems rather inaccurate, often reading about 5-10% above the level recorded by other devices/meters. My second criticism that it sometimes seems to take about 10-15 seconds for the unit to respond to commands from the touch controls. But neither issue is going to really affect typical usage

When it first turned up the box did have a fair bit of damage so I was a little bit concerned, but fortunately the build quality seems very solid plus the class-leading 5 year guarantee offers plenty of reassurance
