Meaco MeacoDry ABC 20L Compressor Dehumidifier - Quiet, Energy Efficient - Ideal Dehumidifier for Damp and Condensation in Large Homes

Product Information

What do you do if you already produce some of the quietest and most energy-efficiency dehumidifiers on the market? With Meaco’s new MeacoDry Arete One, the answer is to go even lower with power consumption and even quieter – and with some higher capacity options, too. There is nothing worse than your dehumidifier breaking down just after the Manufacturer's warranty has expired. Here at Buy It Direct Ltd we want you to get the most out of your dehumidifier, which is why we offer a3 Year Warranty plan. I bought an ABC Meaco 12l low energy job direct from Meaco. It costs a few pennies per hour to run but DD desperately needed one in her uni flat, which was damp to start with, and then she needed to dry her washing. Working really well it had reduced the humidity from about 75% to 60% and removed litres and litres of water to start with." (Vetted by Mumsnetter BigWoollyJumpers)

The maximum noise output is 46dB. While Meaco calls it a quiet dehumidifier, the reality is that this is around average for a refrigerant model. It’s marginally quieter when on low fan mode, but is never going to be as quiet as some of the desiccant models we’ve reviewed. Energy Efficiency The downside of the Arete One’s hassle-free approach is that you don’t have as much direct control over fan speeds, timers or noise levels that you get with some other dehumidifiers. As far as I’m concerned this isn’t really a problem, as the Smart controls work so well, but if you’d like to tweak things up and down yourself, then you might consider something else. MeacoDry Arete One review: Should I buy it?Overall, it's not the most powerful dehumidifier you can buy, and it can't cope with high moisture levels – we found it made little difference when drying wet washing for example. However, it did a great job of clearing condensation on windows and managing moisture levels in a small bedroom when left running overnight. Finding the best dehumidifier for your home depends a lot on the type of moisture issue you're trying to solve, so it's always worth speaking with the customer service department of the manufacturer you're hoping to buy from to ensure you have the right model for your needs.

Increasing ventilation and air circulation in your home will also dramatically decrease your humidity levels. You can install an extractor fan in your bathroom, or open your windows to encourage ventilation. The less humidity and more comfortable you are in your room, the less you will have to run the dehumidifier.

Leaving windows open for 20 minutes or so after a bath or a shower (or cooking) is enough.
