This is our BEST dehumidifier from Amazon from all the reviews: the MeacoDry Arete One 18L dehumidifier and Air Purifier. This is a full review of the low energy Meaco dehumidifier. It is also very similar to the 15L, 20L and 25L dehumidifiers, but this model seems exclusive to Costco. I show you where we place this dehumidifier in the room or bedroom; how much it reduces humidity and mould in our house and for drying clothes; unboxing and first impressions reviews; and how to use the Meaco dehumidifier control panel. It was easy to follow the instructions which I share step-by-step in this video, with review of the Meaco Arete One at the end.

I bought one a few months ago, brilliant machine and saves me a fortune because I very rarely use my tuble dryer any more. It's paid for itself already!
Thanks for the kind comment Stuart! Yes! We've stopped using our tumble dryer now, and love how it dehumidifies the room at the same time too!
Just got the 25l version, had it on 2 days, instantly warmer in the house, no wet windows anymore, absolutely love it,what a game changer, great video by the way
That's really great to hear, thanks for taking the time to leave a kind comment @shamps25
Bought one of these for our conservatory a few months ago and wow what a difference it's made. Absolute game changer and like others, the tumble dryer is history. Can't recommend it enough. Great video.
Haha wonderful - thanks for the kind comment and really pleased it might be working out well for you too! We're using it full time as a tumble dryer at the moment...
Great video! Very impressed how you explained the controls! Brilliant job! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the very kind comment @SatumainenOlento, I appreciate it! Good luck with your dehumidifier
Great video mate. Very well explained. Thanks
Thanks for the kind comment, I appreciate it
The best explanatory video on Meaco. Thank you
Thanks for the kind comment @chosenandblessed9040 - really apprecaite it! Hope it helps with your dehumidifier!
Nice detailed review. We've just invested in a Swan model for around £200, with slightly fewer features. No doubt these machines are game changers for damp rooms.
Thank you, great step by step review
Thanks for the kind comment Billy, appreciate it. Good luck with your dehumidifier if you go for it!
We watched your brilliant video about the Meaco and what a difference it has made in the house no more condensation and mould no more, best purchase we have made, Thank You !
Thanks for the very kind comment Kevin, really appreciate it and glad it might help. Good luck this winter!!!
Excellent demonstration, really useful, many thanks!!
Thanks for the kind comment Steven, I appreciate it - good luck!
Great honest video. Well done.
Big thanks for the kind comment Sunshine, really appreciate it!
Great review and demonstration you have a very easy voice to listen to! . thanks.
Thanks for the kind comment Dee, really appreciate it!
HI, love the video i bought from auction today, and wanted to turn it on, and found this video before i start to run it, thank you
Wow you got one from an auction, that's brilliant. Good luck with your dehumidifier and thanks for the kind message, I appreciate it!
Just got mine! Absolutely love it. The air feels completely different in the bedroom and for laundry...well let's just say there's not really any need for us to use the tumble dryer anymore, amazed to see how much I'll be saving from not having to put it on
Thanks for the kind message -- we're on this rather than the tumble dryer at the moment too.. think we need some bigger airers! Thanks again
Haven’t looked back since I got mine, in fact I might be investing in a second. Top video mate.
Thanks for the kind comment!
Hmmm a second one would really save me lugging it around...
Get them to compete against each other!
Thanks again
Excellent presentation like a pro.
Thanks for the very kind comment Muhammad, I appreciate it
good presentation, I just bought one over the weekend and amazed at the amount of water it sucked out of the air within 24 hours the air does feel different and I am praying for a reduction if condensation and mold. Would recommend it to anyone.
Thanks for the kind comment Charles, I appreciate it.
One month on and... the mould isn't back so far!
Hi Charlie, where did you get it from. Look like meaco run out in every place?
@@hass8339 Hi Hass, I purchased it from the local Argos, it is a very thirsty machine. I did not know there was so much water in the air in my house.
brilliant review thank you.
Thanks for the very kind comment @ianlad7243 I really appreciate it. Good luck with your dehumidifiers!
Excellent review and instruction, many thanks. I also have the Arete One -- it's superb.
Thanks for the kind comment M, really appreciate it. Ours is still going really strong!
14 degrees in summer feels a lot warmer than 14 degrees in winter. Lowering humidity can cut the need for heating.
very good experience based review, beautifully presented in a friendly informal way, very calming voice, subscribed.
Thanks for the very kind comment - really appreciate it. Good luck with your dehumidifiers!
FYI: Dettol mould cleaner is the best, just spray and leave, no need to scrub.
I've just bought the 12L version, looking forward to it.
Ah, big thanks Mitesh - that's a great tip, will try that. Good luck with the 12L version, ours is still going strong!
Very helpful review
Thanks for the kind comment Alex - good luck with your dehumidifier!
Meaco develop now the Meaco Dry Arete Two in 2024 ..it comes with an app now downloaded from App Store or Google Play..and also voice controlled through the app
Thanks for the kind message. I'm hoping to get my hands on one (or rather 'Two') this autumn. The app sounds like fun!
Hi got mine today 18l and wow in 5hrs I gathered 1 and half litres of water thank you very much for your great vlog as it helped me to purchase this item. 👍
That's really great to hear thanks, and thanks for taking the time to leave a kind comment after you got one!
I found that after about a month, the amounts dropped which I think is because it's literally dried out the house and walls and is now dealing with just moisture in the air.
Good luck with your humidity!
Well what can I say, we have been suffering from mould in the bathroom, bedrooms and really doesn't make us feel healthy. I think you have convinced us into getting a couple of these machines. So glad we saw your vlog, I don't trust sales people but you have a trustworthy face so we are going for it. looking forward to emptying our first container 🙂
Thanks for the very kind comment, I appreciate it. They're not cheap! If it were me, I'd try one machine first, but then I'm a bit of a tightwad. Good luck with the dehumidifier and hope it brings the mould down
Thanks for your detailed review! Do you suggest to place the dehumidifier in a central part of a house (eg. Hallway), in order to benefit to dehumidify the whole house (mid terraced 3 bed)? As my property does suffer from water build up/condensation on the windows in the bedrooms and moreso in the front porch. Thanks.
Thanks for the kind comment and question:
We've been moving ours around for the first couple of months because our situation sounds almost identical to yours.
The hallway has been good for getting the humidity down for the whole house, but I've been putting it into the bedrooms during the day with the door closed to draw out everything there.
It's really worked - my daughter's bedroom was the worse: humidity of 81% and now it's down to 55%
What's spooky is that we were emptying the 5L bucket every day, sometimes twice for the first few weeks, now it takes a few days to fill up and the house is at around 55% humidity, so it feels like we've drawn out damp from the walls etc and only dealing with the stuff that's in the air mostly now: from boiling rice, pasta, showers, breathing etc.
Plus we use it for laundry and very rarely use the tumble dryer now, so hope to be saving power while the dehumidifier is doing double duty with our clothes and the house.
Hope this helps - good luck with getting rid of the condensation!
Great vid! You have a very calming voice. I've had my 25l Arete since October 2023. It was amazing, but then started playing up. Meaco were great, and after a sending back the machine twice, they sent a new one today. I know that sounds a hassle, but they did everything...they send a new box (I threw away the original), DPD collected it the next day, and they sent the new one 4 days later. Btw, did you wait 6 hours after delivery before using? Not sure how necessary that is. My new one just arrived 15 mins ago, I'm dying to use it. LOL. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for the kind comment Adam, I appreciate it.
Would love to know how it played up. I have dropped some wood shavings into the fan (long story) and I can hear them when the fan starts up.
Was going to turn it upside down to try and shake them out, but then remembered the warning about letting it settle - I guess it's like the coolant in a fridge and how you're not meant to turn that on for a few hours...
I did wait - but only because I think we've wrecked our fridge!
That sounds like great service you got.
I need to make a video about this but we found that we were emptying the basket daily for the first 6 weeks, then it went much longer to fill up. Almost like it dried out the house and now just deals more with the daily humidity.
Hope it's working out well for you and thanks again!
Thank you for the brilliant informative video. You simplified all the instructions which was a great help for me. I had got the Meaco Arête 25. Set it for 40 humidity, it’s still 59. It has been on now for 3 days but I don’t seem to be drawing a lot of water in. My wall is very wet, with a strong smell of wet plaster. Am I expecting too much in a short time? Also the air blowing out of mine is very cold.
From what I’ve seen from the website temperature plays a factor.
At 10c it’s a mere 2.5l per day.
At 20c it was 13l per day.
Hi Yvonne
Thanks for the kind message and sorry to hear it doesn't seem to be drawing much out.
We ran ours continuously for about 3 weeks and we were emptying the full 5 litre canister every day.
Now it doesn't seem to be emptying so often, so we think we've drawn out some from the walls.
The suggestion below seems a good one, that it collects different amounts at different temperatures.
Are you getting the bucket filled often, like once per day?
The cold air is interesting.
Our fan air feels quite warm, when the compressor is on.
There's a light on the bottom left hand side of the panel with an icon like a drip with 2 lines.
This shows the compressor is on and it's dehumidifying...
When that light goes off, I think the instructions say it's sampling the air or has reached it's target humidity.
If that light is always off and the fan air is cold all the time, there might be a problem and it might be worth a call to Meaco.
Sorry I can't be more help and hope its collecting lots of water.
Great review I got it last week and I’m impressed how much water it pulls out I run it in bedroom for 3h per day then noticed I dehydrated in morning I guess my body not use to dry air 😂 can also give you headache if air is too dry or could be just me but it works wonders. And air purifier you notice how it reduces all dust floating around room when sun shines through window so it’s great 2 in 1
Thanks for the kind message @systemforsuccess - yes, I think we're starting to feel dehydrated!
Think I'll make a video about opening the filter after not looking at it for 6 months...
If you want it to turn on at certain times. Use this with a smart plug. Connect it via the smart plug and only turn it off by the via the plug not the machine itself. When the plug is turned back on the humidify turns on automatically - no need to press the power button on the machine. I have my smart plug configured to turn on at 3am (it’s always on night mode) by the time I wake up, windows are clear in the bedroom. The plug auto turns off after 3hours.
That's a brilliant idea thanks. And thanks for the kind comment, I appreciate it
i ordered probreeze30L compressor version, it's looks great
Thanks for the kind comment @saidul02 - ahhh would love to check out the probreeze ones!
Sold im getting one.thanks
Thanks for the kind comment @bridiemegan - Ours is still going strong and we love it!
Is there any advantage in going into the hire capacity models I've got a relatively small problem and I'm looking at the 12 l does a larger capacity mean it's quieter for the same amount of work?
Hi James - I think the capacity refers to how much it dehumidifies per hour?
I think the 12L will be just fine for you. I don't know if it's any quieter because the models all look quite similar. Well worth it! Good luck with your dehumidifier and thanks again!
Good video Dad,
I want to know how long do you have to change the filter?
Really good question
We've only had ours for 4 months but whenever we use an air purifier we use a vacuum cleaner to clean off the filter.
I guess it's tricky to put a time on it as it depends on how long it's run per day...
Sorry I can't be of more help, we'll keep ours going for at least a year with cleaning the filter every few months... thanks again for the kind comment
Great video
Thanks for the very kind comment @cranstal, I appreciate it!
Could I put it in the loft for a while do you think ? I’ve got mould up there after our bathroom extractor fan was blowing steam up there for a while 😫😫😫
Hi Helena
Thanks for asking -- Yes you could put this in the loft with a couple of buts...
It is heavy, so lugging it up a ladder would be very difficult for me
And it sounds like your loft might be completely insulated from the outside -- it tends not to do so well if outside air is coming in because it naturally tries to dehumidify the new air that's coming in and ends up not doing much to the room, if say a window or door is open.,..
Hope this helps and thanks again!
From what I understand if living in a high humidity summer location an air conditioner will lower humidity but a dehumidifier will decrease the need for the AC to run as much. I will see.
Ahh, that's really interesting thanks. I could see how that works, because the air would be less dense to process... Fingers crossed for your AC!
Thanks for the kind comment and good luck with your dehumidifier and AC
Arent these meant to lower the humidity & make the air cooler instead of warmer
I've bought the meaco one 12l and I find the compressor to be noisy. Constant humming/buzzing sound that is louder than the fan. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Hi, sorry to hear this. It sounds like the compressor, which I think is the thing that cools inside that condenses the water in the air. Ours is pretty loud - too loud to sleep in the room with it but not too disturbing in the house. Someone else in the comments said they sent theirs back and Meaco replaced it.
For them, they said it might have been due to turning it on before the 6 hours to let the coolant inside settle. It's a bit like being advised not to turn on a new fridge after transit. I'd get in touch with Meaco for their advice, and hope you get it sorted. Thanks again for the kind comment and question, and good luck with your dehumidifier!
I've just bought the 20L version and quiet it isn't. Anybody saying they are cleary have a hearing problem or are lying. The compressor makes the most noise, same noise as a loud fridge. No way in hell could I sleep with it in the bedroom.
we have mold in our house so we bought the 12l one for the bedrooms and waiting for it ill update this comment when it comes
Thanks for the kind comment - congratulations! Fingers crossed it does the business!
Does that work for the whole house or do you move it around ? How big is your house ?
Thanks for asking - ours is a normal 2 floor 3 bed house. It can do the whole house from the downstairs hallway, but we move it around to dry out particular rooms.
So have it in the kitchen when we're drying out laundry there, or a bedroom if the humidity is high there. But it is v heavy (with handle and wheels)!
Is it £179 before tax? If so then it's still good deal. I only found one online 20l version in Costco for £225. In store I think they had 10l.
Thanks for the kind comment - yes, it was 179 before and 220 after, the Costco 20L version
Good luck with your dehumidifying!
Arete (Aretay) comes from the ancient Greek concept of "excellence"
Thanks Francis- I'd since seen this and appreciate the confirmation! Thanks again for taking the time for this kind comment
@@DADDELIVERS also great and thorough review. Itself lives up to the name Arete. I'm considering buying the 10L so this video helped a lot 👍🏾
@@francis_n Good luck with the 10L - ours is still going strong!
Not sure you ever followed up on how much it brought down the RH? You sort of mention if felt dryer, but that could just be a placebo. (apologies if you did)
Hi Jack
Thanks for the kind question- in the middle of making the 6 months on review!
We have a hydrometer and it regularly brings down my daughter's room from 81% to 61% in a few hours
I don't know if it's still drying out walls or just condensation caused by cooking washing breathing etc but it's putting out about 5 litres every 2 days now.
Hooe this helps!
@@DADDELIVERS Yep very helpful thank you! :)
Position them as far away from radiators as possible. Windows closed, internal door open.
Thanks @pumpkineater23!
Is it available in US?
Hi Diana - thanks for the kind question -- I've been looking around on Amazon and the Meaco site and it doesn't look like it is available in the US...
Which is strange because we bought this in Costco, where all the products are very American!
Hope this helps and sorry I can't help more
Ok. I do thank you for your input, appreciate it very much! We'll have to get some other brand sold here in the US
Is your house built on top of a fresh spring or something? That's one hell of a lot of water you're extracting!
Thanks - it's gone down a lot after the first week but still keeps delivering!!!
Drying clothes indoors tends produce a lot of water as they are wet
You poured the resevoir into a sink that already had a whole washing up bowl of water just sitting there!! Remember to put bath and sink plugs in as the sink traps have water sitting too
Thanks!
Just received ours . Question , why does it blow out cold air ? Seems pointless when the heating is on . I’m a blonde 74 year old , please excuse my stupidity lol 😢
Hi Margaret
Thanks for the kind question - it's a very good one!
I'm hoping that it doesn't blow out cold air all the time...
There are 4 lights underneath the number that's being displayed.
When the light on the bottom left is on, is when it's dehumidifying - I think.
So I'm assuming that this light isn't on when it feels like the air is cold.
When it's doing the cold air and no light on - I understand that it's either sampling the air to test the humidity... or it has hit the target humidity, so it's just whirring around until the humidity goes up, when the compressor kicks in (which is shown by the little light) and it starts dehumidifying again.
So... if you press the 'drip' button on the left of the number, and keep pressing it - it jumps to different humidity levels: CO for continuous, 40, 45, etc up to 70.
For a test, keep pressing that button until it shows either CO (for permanently on) or 40.
If you then leave the button alone, the number will then show the current humidity.
I'm assuming your humidity is higher than 40.
You should see the light come on - the light which is furthest on the left at the bottom, and the air coming out should feel warmer?
Does this work?
Even so - from time to time the compressor (and the little light) will go off and coldish/colder air will come out, and I believe this is totally normal.
Hope this helps!
@@DADDELIVERS Thank you for your very helpful reply 👍
Does it purify air at the same time as dehumidify or do you have to do that separately ?
Thanks for the kind question Helena
Yes it does - the air that's drawn in for the dehumidifier goes through the air filter.
And you can turn off the dehumidifier part in the summer to use it just as a purifier whenever needed.
Hope this helps!
@@DADDELIVERS awesome thank you 🙏🏻
Does it work in the really cold UK temperatures say in a conservatory that is unheated ??? It looks really good.
I think your house needs top openings in the windows, you have a ventilation problem
Thanks Steve! We have many other problems too, so appreciate the kind comment!
Ifyour cleaning mould, use PPE, facemask with air clean cartridges, gloves, paper boiler suit, plastic overshoes. You dont want to be breathing in those mold spores. That stuff get into your lungs etc, it wont be funny years down the. Readalk about it on the internet. It gets in your eyes as well. Wear eye protection.
Like 😂
If you're getting that much mold i would find the sorce if you dont want chronic chest problems that you will never recover from find the problem it will be healthier if not for you then do it for your child's sake just a educated advice.
Check your roof or your walls outside may need pointing all the best 😮😊❤❤❤
My first dehumidifier was a couple of desiccant dehumidifiers which draw water out but they don’t differentiate on humidity levels so the house air was too dry. I then did some research and bought a couple of Ebac compressor dehumidifiers which are British manufactured. The Ebac has a smart humidity control which does not overdry the air. The models I have were over £200 pounds but I cannot fault them espeecially the smart feature which stops the air becoming too dry and drawing humidity into the house. You should look at dehumidifiers not on how much water it draws out (although this is important initially) but effects of the house feeling warmer and the disappearance of condensation should e the first positive effects.
Black mold should be treated and cleaned away with bleach before using then set your dehumidifier to do its job. Here in the UK we have a high year round humidity so a smart feature like the Ebac has really, makes use economical power and saves energy. Even if you do not have damp issues using a dehumidifier in the winter months when the heaters are on and internal humidity raises you will appreciate the benefits of having this appliance and be totally converted.
