MeacoDry Arete One Dehumidifier and Air Purifier 20 L

The Gold Standard for Family Homes: Efficient, Silent, and Sophisticated

 

The MeacoDry Arete® One 20L is the flagship of the award-winning Arete series, specifically designed for those who need high-performance humidity control without the noise. Developed through five years of user feedback, this 20-litre unit is engineered to manage moisture in homes with up to 5 bedrooms or large open-plan living areas. It holds the prestigious Quiet Mark accreditation, operating at just 38dB—making it twice as quiet as the industry standard for fans of this capacity.

This model is a true 2-in-1 hybrid. While it effectively pulls up to 20 litres of water from the air per day to stop mold and condensation, it simultaneously acts as a medical-grade air purifier. The included H13 HEPA filter is 75% larger than those found in previous models, ensuring that the air in your home is not only dry but also free from dust, pollen, and pet dander. With its wall-friendly, flush-back design and hidden castors, it is designed to be a permanent, stylish part of your home.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is the 20L model better than the 25L for a 4-bedroom house? The 20L is perfectly adequate for most 4-5 bedroom homes. The 25L is recommended if you have exceptionally high ceilings, a basement, or a particularly demanding damp problem that requires even faster extraction.

2. How do I use the continuous drainage? The Arete One comes with a small adapter in the tank lid. You can attach a standard 12.5mm garden hose to this adapter to let the water drain directly into a sink or floor drain, so you never have to empty the tank.

3. Does it help with winter window condensation? Yes. In "Smart Humidity" mode, it will keep your home at 55% relative humidity, which is the ideal level to prevent water from forming on cold window panes in winter.
