About this product
The Meaco Dry Arete One 20 Ls Dehumidifier brings powerful moisture control and air purification together in one clever device. This combined dehumidifier and air purifier is designed for homes up to 5 bedrooms, extracting up to 20 l of moisture per day whilst the enhanced H13 HEPA filter tackles airborne particles all year round. Whether you're battling condensation, damp or simply want fresher air, this unit handles both tasks with ease. The visible water level lets you see at a glance when it needs emptying.
Running at 38 decibels, it's whisper-quiet for use in bedrooms or living spaces without distraction. Two speed settings give you control, and intuitive controls make adjustments simple. Auto shut-off activates when the tank is full, preventing overflow. The washable filter keeps maintenance easy, and castors make moving it between rooms effortless despite weighing 15kg. At 216 watts it uses minimal power, and the generous cord length offers placement flexibility. Backed by a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee, it provides reliable moisture and air quality control all year round.

Does the job well and isn't intrusive
Really good little unit, quiet works well and easy to place as on wheels. Humidity levels are kept consistent.
Terry, 35 - 44
Bought to replace older model
It’s a lovely dehumidifier, not too loud, doesn’t give out too much heat & fits musky against the wall so doesn’t take up too much space.

Very quiet and effective
Absolutely fantastic unit, I was surprised by how quiet it was, and humidity went from 76 down to 50 in next to no time. Has convient handle to move it around easily.

Shehzad, 35 - 44
Great feature
Bought this a few days ago and all appears to be working well, quiet and efficient. It is quite heavy but can be moved easily on the casters. The damp wall appears to be drying out well with the extraction.Easy to use and emptying out the water collected. Not used for drying clothes yet.

Great features
I bought this about a month ago works fine the only issue is it's a bit noisy but not having one before don't know whether this is normal.
Shaun 69, 55 - 64
No, this does not hold 20l, and the fact that this answer has come from Argos is terrible! As it says in the photos, this has a 4.8l tank capacity. The 20l is just how much it can extract from the air in 24 hours.

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.
Hi Noochy.
Yes, Meaco Dry Arete One 20 Litre Dehumidifier does have a laundry mode.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hi Hondaman,
Yes, you can use the Meaco Dry Arete One 20 Litre Dehumidifier as a dehumidifier only. The device is designed to function primarily as a dehumidifier, and the air purification feature is an additional option that you can choose to use or not.
Thank you for using Q&A
