The MeacoDry Arete® One 25L Dehumidifier / Air Purifier is perfect for dealing with damp, mould and condensation issues in larger houses up to 6 bedrooms. If you want to always have cleaner, fresher air in your home this filter will have to be replaced roughly every 3 months. Arete extracts water most efficiently between 10°C and 20°C, the temperatures at which you need it most. Getting it out of the unit and carrying it to the sink or emptying point needed to be straightforward.

Pay in 3 is a form of credit, may not be suitable for everyone and use may affect your credit score. For the first time ever you now have a viable option to a tumble dryer and if are worried about the cost of running a tumble dryer or do not have space for a tumble dryer then the Meaco 25L Low Energy Dehumidifier is the sensible alternative. INTELLIGENT DESIGN - Packed with excellent features that make it stand out against comparable large dehumidifiers for home, the Meaco 25L features digital display, variable humidistat, quiet mode, auto mode, laundry mode, 24 hr timer, child lock and more. The result are Meaco's best ever dehumidifiers with intuitive controls, low energy consumption, low noise levels and an enhanced H13 HEPA filter for year round air purification. We waited with baited breath for the review to be published and it arrived this morning and I am delighted to say that it was a 5 star review.As well as the above the 25L features a child lock, and auto-restart to remember it’s settings after a power cut.

I wish it was cheaper, but I am expecting this one to last a while (it came with a three year warranty) and I have gone through a few cheaper ones.
