A Smarter Solution to Damp and Condensation
The MeacoDry Arete® One 20L is designed to tackle condensation, excess humidity, mould and damp throughout the home. It removes up to 20 litres of moisture per day while maintaining your chosen humidity level automatically. Ideal for homes, garages, basements, boats and caravans.

Dehumidification Meets Air Purification
More than just a dehumidifier, the Arete® One provides year-round air care. Its included medical-grade H13 HEPA filter helps capture airborne particles while the unit operates. A dedicated air purification mode means it can continue cleaning the air even when dehumidification isn't required.

Exceptionally Quiet Operation
Operating from just 38dB(A), the Arete® One is designed for spaces where noise matters. Its low operating noise makes it particularly well suited to homes, bedrooms and living areas. Quiet Mark accreditation further highlights its focus on low-noise performance.

Night Mode Without the Distractions
Night Mode reduces the fan to its quieter low setting while switching off display lights and button sounds. This creates a less intrusive environment when sleeping, working or relaxing. Two confirming touches are required to return the machine to normal operation, helping prevent accidental changes.

Dry Laundry Faster Indoors
Smart Laundry mode provides a practical alternative to leaving wet clothes drying naturally around your home. According to the supplied product information, the Arete® One 20L can dry a laundry load in approximately 4 hours 45 minutes. This can be particularly useful during colder or wetter months when outdoor drying isn't practical.

Simple Smart Humidity Control
The clear control panel prioritises the functions you'll use most frequently. Smart Humidity Control and Smart Laundry can each be accessed using a large dedicated button. The variable humidistat can be adjusted between 40% and 70% RH to suit your environment.

Designed Around Everyday Living
Unlike an appliance you'll want to hide away, the Arete® has been designed to become part of the home. Its clean exterior sits flush against a wall, while hidden castors make repositioning easier. The design was developed over five years using feedback from more than 2,000 customers.

Easy-to-Empty 4.8-Litre Tank
The generous 4.8-litre water tank has been designed to make one of the most frequent dehumidifier tasks easier. Large access slots, an integrated carrying handle and pouring points on both sides simplify removal and emptying. This helps make regular operation more convenient.

Continuous Drainage When Required
For applications where regularly emptying the tank isn't convenient, continuous drainage is supported. A supplied adapter allows a standard garden hose to be connected rather than providing a dedicated plastic hose that many customers may never use. An optional Arete® pump can also be purchased when condensate needs to be pumped upwards.

Efficient Year-Round Performance
At the stated test conditions of 20°C and 60% RH, power consumption is only 216 watts. The compressor system operates across temperatures from 5°C to 35°C and uses R290 refrigerant. This combines strong moisture control with relatively low electrical demand.

Award-Winning British Design
Arete® was developed by Meaco's British design team with a focus on performance, usability and appearance. The range has received a Red Dot Design Award and Quiet Mark accreditation, while the supplied information also identifies Arete® as a Which? Best Buy. A free five-year warranty provides additional long-term reassurance.
