Want a dehumidifier that remove water from the air, cleans the air as it works, can be used as a stand alone air purifier in spring and summer and does it quietly at just 41dB. And as the name suggests it uses very little energy.
The much loved Meaco 12L Low energy dehumidifier ticks all of these boxes.

Fantastic dehumidifier. We purchased one a few years ago to help with drying washing out during the winter months. It works a treat and had no problems what so ever. Even use it in the bathroom after showering to dry the room out. Would buy another meaco dehumidifier tomorrow, when the time comes. Can't recommend one of these enough.
David , is it noisy and cheap to run x
@@susanreid9857 wish I cud say the same thing about the x wife, cheap to run.
Hi
The clock button on my dehumidifer keeps beeping and flashing 00. Any advice please. Thank you
Which external condensate pump would you recommend using with continuous drainage when you don't have the option of using gravity to drain into something lower and instead need to stick a hose out of a window 2 meters high?
I would recommend the Meaco Arete One dehumidifier with its own optional pump to solve the problem you have described.
Is there a specific way of fitting a filter to the dehumidifier to make sure you have inserted the correct way?
Thank you for your question, if you offer the filter up with the Meaco logo facing you and with the slant to the left handside it will fit fine.
Can this dehumidifier work for a cannabus room
Mine has just come up with E2 error code. It's still drawing plenty of water but have no idea what the actual humidity actually is. I've had it about 18 months and has otherwise been fantastic.
Thank you for your purchase and your comment. E2 normally means that the return air sensor is not able to read the room humidity, normally because it is blocked and needs a clean. The sensor is behind the filter on the right and looks a bit like a Lego block. Turn the machine off, unplug it and clean the sensor with a vacuum and it should be ok. Any problems then please do call us on 01483 234900.
I live in a 1 bed bungalow . I have water on the floor and wet wallpaper on the bottom of the wall (say about 2inches high ). I have no issues anywhere else in the bungalow .It is and end property and think the damp is coming from an outside wall .Would this Meaco unit be too big for this problem .
Not at all. Put it in the room and run it on continuous. Keep the doors and windows closed whilst you run it. Good luck.
@@MeacoUK thank you x
Do you have to use Hepa filter when in CO mode?
No, you can use it in any mode you like.
How are you supposed to clean these? I put my dehumidifier on for about 20 mins and started sneezing so had to turn it off
I would recommend cleaning your filter and replacing the HEPA filter to see how that helps you. If you still need help then please call us on 01483234900.
I have a problem with this de humidifier. It keeps drying out all the water in the my toilet. If I run a bath and come back to it all the bath water is gone. If I make a glass of water it dissappears . Any help meaco
Impossible, no domestic dehumidifier can evaporate standing water.
Does this dehumidifier switch it self off and back on again once humidity levels are reached etc
Yes it does, better than that it waits for 30 minutes once the target has been reached to make sure whether the humidity has stabilised or not.
Hi, I just purchased this and plugged it in yesterday. I've targeted 45% humidity. When I turned the unit on it said I had 72% humidity, I've had it running for 24 hours now and it's only gone to 62%. Is this normal? How long can it take to get to what I've targeted?
Thank you very much
Thank you for your purchase and your comment. This is normal because there is a lot of work that a new dehumidifier has to do to reach the target that you have set. It needs to remove moisture from the air whilst yourselves will be putting moisture into the air constantly all of the time. Once the air is dry then organic materials in your home will start to release moisture into the air as they see the house start to dry out. So it takes around a month for a house to dry out. Hope this helps.
@@MeacoUK Hi, thank you for the reply. My fear for running it 24/7 for a month is the cost. I'm in a two bed flat and wonder will it be expensive to run this 24/7 for a month?
@@GThomson92 If you set it to 50%rh, that would be sensible and the machine will turn on and off as the humidity is reached. Whilst it is running it will cost you about 3p/hour for which you will get a drier flat and a little bit of warmth from the machine as well. Your heating system will also be more efficient because it is easier and cheaper to heat dry air than it is to heat damp air. So your overall bills will not move that much.
We live in a large old 4 bed house. It can be quite cold. I'm worried it may be too cold as it's only really warm when the heating is on. Will the Meaco work well enough or should we look at a desiccant. Don't want to waste time buying a compressor dehumidifier when it's not suitable for our home.
Carla - if you go for a 20L compressor dehumidifier like the Meaco 20L Low Energy dehumidifier then you will be fine both in terms of property size and temperature.
@@MeacoUK is that also the 20L platinum and Air purifier one?
@@carlahill1701 yes it is
Bought my son MeacoDry ABC 12L Dehumidifier but its blowing out cold 🥶 air. Not sure if it's set up correctly 🤔
The air is moving, so it feels cooler (just like a fan in summer). If you have a room that is a bit cooler in the fuirst place, then the air will feel cooler. Remember, that the machine is very energy efficient, so it only adds 1°C to the air coming out, this is what you want, to keep costs down.
At the end of the day the machine does not have the ability to cool the air.
Their room is quite cold where they are not using their heating as much now
@@lisadarch5721 There you, that makes sense then.
Hi, how do you turn on the air purifier mode? Or does it perform this function automatically 🤔 thanks
If you have the HEPA filter in place then it is air purifying whenever the fan is running. If you want to turn off the dehumidifier element and just run the machine as an air purifier then press the up or down arrow under the display until you see AP on the display.
@chrismichaelmeacouklimited4004 thanks v much
Our meaco dehumidifier used to collect loads of water when we bought it. Then we changed hepa filter and its no longer collecting the water. By the windows all is wet, so its not dry room, when we turn the dehumidifier on it shows number usually around 72, when we use arrows down to set the target to 30-35, leave it running for over 12 hours to find not even a drop inside the bucket, any idea what the problem is ?
When the fan runs does the humidity drop to 30-35%rh? I ask because the humidity is very, very low in Britain at the moment but with outside air temperatures falling well below freezing condensation is still possible. If you are still having problems then please do call us on 01483 234900.
I use my Meaco 12L dehumidifier mainly for drying clothes. It use to work very well by drying out the clothes overnight and collecting loads of water but now not even a droop of water is being collected even with a clothes horse full of wet clothes and I’ve set the mode to the highest and lowest number but all to no avail. It’s just blowing cool air. It’s only a few months old. Please help.
When the fan is running make a note of the number on the display and then press the down arrow under the display and make a note of the number that flashes up for five seconds.
Let us know what those two numbers are please.
@@MeacoUKHi , sorry for interrupting
, I just purchased exactly same product and we are having exactly same problem from brand new one , and the numbers you mentioned is 70 and when I press the down arrow it flashes 35 and only cold air coming out.
Please help
Thanks
@@friadmuhammed6578thank you for your purchase, is it collecting water and what is the temperature of the room it is in?
Yes it is collecting water , the room temperature is around 20 C .
Then all is OK. The air just feels cool because it is moving.
Mine makes a squeaky noise when running is that normal?
You will get noises from the compressor as it changes mode and moves the oils and refrigerant around the system, you actually will be able to hear them flow through the pipes. If you are still concerned then please send a recording of the noise to our customer service team.
@@MeacoUK OK thanks
Mine blows out cold air.
Hi there - is the water ok to drink from the machine?
No. You can use it for watering non edible plants
@@MeacoUK I've actually used my TDS meter and tested the pH on the water. Plus I've sampled the water also.
TDS is around 40ppm and pH is around 6. The water tastes plasticky. This could be due to the machine is new and requires 'running in'.
For a comparison rain water has pH of around 6 as well with water from tap having TDS of around 120!
If i could get rid of that plasticky taste I'd be v happy to use the dehumidifier to produce drinking water!!
@@PeterPete the water will contain metal traces, dirt and potentially bacteria. Please do not drink it.
@@MeacoUK I can understand your views but a dehumidifier works in the same manner as an air to water drinks machine. The only difference is the latter has a built in filtration system to make the water taste nicer.
Water from the tap contains more contaminants and imo also contains coliform bacteria that remains from the waste water treatment process!
It's why a lot of people do not drink water from the tap - it's worse than water from a dehumidifier!!
Hi are you still answering questions on here thank you 😊
Yes, if you want to ask one.
@@MeacoUK yes please ok here goes - we have lived in our 1920’s house for 2 years after 1 winter we installed a piv nuaire in the loft as we had constant wet windows (windows are not upvc double glazed and a couple of them are singled glazed ) we noticed last year with the cost of heating the house higher that we got the wet windows back again so we now have the Meaco 12l in addition. We have this reading anywhere from 69 to 80 - we haven’t had it on all the time we switch it to night mode. We do live near ish to the sea and have wooden floors in the house too - how do I get the humidity down ? Should it be reading 70’s and 80’s with a PIV in the loft too ? Thank you for any advice
In order to be increases possibility of reaching the lower numbers, below 70, it would be ideal to leave the unit on, it will take time to get it down but using the machine only during some periods does mean in its absence of use, humidity levels will increase. Best practice is to leave it running, once the target humidity is reached, the machine will turn off and on only when humidity rises above the target. @@samclarke5096
Good but not keen on the filter. Much prefer the washable ones
The dust filter can be washed. HEPA filters are optional, but cannot be washed
Not that good, to noisy, and it creates a wind like effect, It will dry your throat, and in the morning you can get a sore throat
A sore throat will come from a relative humidity below 30%rh and the machine is not capable of achieving that level, so there will be another cause of your sore throat. Sounds like you are using it in the bedroom (?). No need to do that, put the dehumidifier on the landing or in the hallway and leave the internal doors open to dry the whole house and deal with the problem that way.
@@MeacoUK the lowest level of humidity, the dehumidifier achieves is 62% and only after working for about 8 hours, and the bedroom has the highest level of humidity about 78% other rooms 50 - 60%, even using in the bedroom it takes a long time to reach a level of humidity of 60% that 30% you are talking is never achieved, and each time I use the humidifier I get a sore throat, other members of the family as well
@@dypuamone9134 thank you for the further information, that level of humidity is not going to cause any dry skin or dry throat issues, so it is just a coincidence. Keep the unit running 24/7 and after a couple of weeks you will see a change and then after a month or so the whole property will be transformed. The rate of drying the air and reducing the relative humidity is determined by how much moisture you and the family are putting into the air each day. The more you put in, the longer the drying process takes.
Got this February 2022 n today it just does not go down past 65 id say its pretty rubbish compared to the arete
I recommend that you make sure that the filter is clean and let it run 24/7. Reducing the relative humidity is a balance of the moisture you put into the air each day minus the moisture that the machine removes each day.
@@MeacoUK new filter still same issue ,maybe cuz I got it from amazon
@@Modi-Drink-Moot Try running it on Co 24/7 into next week and see how you get on.
@chrismichaelmeacouklimited4004 it's been on 24/7 since September lol, I'm thinking of getting rid, is the 12l arete better than this?
@@Modi-Drink-Moot Our 12L models are similar, it suggests that you are putting a lot more moisture into the air/have a large house/have several people in the house and therefore the load is too much for a 12 litre machine.
