Customers Say
The Meaco dehumidifier is praised for its effectiveness in reducing humidity, drying clothes quickly, and being quiet. However, some users find the laundry mode's 6-hour limit insufficient for heavy fabrics.

Effective clothes dryer.
I bought this dehumidifier on 16th Jan 2026 after speaking to others about drying my washing indoors during the winter. I have found it invaluable and effective. I’ve only used it a couple of times so far, so I can’t speak of its longevity, but it has a 5 year guarantee so that shouldn’t be a problem. Recommended!

Best Dehumidifier
I was recommended this Dehumidifier by a friend, I am so glad I took there advice it has drawn out so much damp out of the house 60 litres in 4days amazing, we put it on night mode it’s so quiet it has wheels to move it around if necessary but we leave it at the top of the landing which works great for our house

Quiet and efficient.
I bought Meaco because of their reputation. I'm not disappointed, very quiet. It runs in the spare room and I can't hear it. Laundry mode is 6 hours. Not long enough for heavy fabrics. For heavy fabrics, set at lowest humidity figure and set to constant.

A bit big.
Bought this for our landing. Had to return it because it is so large. Looks like a kitchen bin. Returned and purchased the 12 litre model. Very pleased with the performance of the 12 litre.

Great dehumidifier
Am very happy with my new dehumidifier,,it collects alot of water,,it has a carry handle on top so it makes it easy to manoeuvre around the house..The only downside is that it turns off automatically after 6 hours when it is put on laundry mode hence the reason I only gave 4 stars.

A Great Bit Of Kit With Benefits
Excellent! Our Mielé tumble dryer developed a fault and this fab bit of kit really helped to dry clothes whilst waiting for a repair.

Easy to work and understand features.
I bought this in early January and it has helped me take moisture out of cold winter rooms. Washing feature captured the most water. Can’t wait to try it when I get a heated airer too. Only draw back can’t carry on my own up & down stairs.

Hello Linz,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Meaco Dry Arete One 20 Litre Dehumidifier: It's generally recommended to avoid using extension leads with dehumidifiers, if you must, make sure it’s suitable for the power requirements of the dehumidifier and rated for the appropriate load.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Hi There.
Meaco Dry Arete One 20 Litre Dehumidifier:
Having checked the instructions, they advise:
The dust filter is a life-long filter and therefore should not need to be replaced (other than for wear and
tear reasons). When used regularly, the filter may become clogged with dust and dirt particles. The
filter must be cleaned a minimum of every two weeks.
1. Remove the dust filter from the dehumidifier by sliding the filter case to the left, away from the
dehumidifier. The dust filter is built into the filter case and cannot be removed – you may have
to remove the HEPA filter to access the dust filter.
2. Clean the dust filter with the end of a hoover or soapy water no hotter than 40°C. Rinse and
dry completely before inserting back into the dehumidifier.
The HEPA filter is optional and the dehumidifier can be used without this fitted. The HEPA filter is not life-long and must be replaced when the colour changes from white to
grey (it depends on the environment the dehumidifier is being used in but the HEPA filter will
need replacing roughly every 3 months). It can be hoovered every so often to remove dust or dirt.

Hello Hondaman,
The supplier has advised the following for the Meaco Dry Arete One 20 Litre Dehumidifier:
“ Yes, you can use a mild disinfectant to clean the water tank. Just make sure to choose a mild, non-toxic disinfectant that’s safe for plastic i.e. dish soap. Avoid strong chemicals like bleach, as they can damage the plastic or leave a bad smell. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
