Dehumidifier excellence for smaller spaces

Dehumidifier excellence tailored for smaller homes (1-3 bed), MeacoDry Arete® Two 12L has been developed following the success of the popular Arete® One series (Europe’s best-selling dehumidifier family). It retains the celebrated features while introducing new functionalities for enhanced user control, including a new 'Chase' display and integration with the new Meaco App.

Engineered for those who want a closer look, Arete® Two has a Premium LED display, showing the correlation between current and desired humidity levels. Enabling you to read all the information you need at a glance.

Inside the dehumidifier, the use of the latest generation of DC Motors, delivers over 60% more power (reaching 140m³/h airflow), all whilst keeping energy consumption low.

What are the differences between the MeacoDry Arete® Two and the Arete® One?

There are a host of new and exciting features on our Arete® Two model:

  • A unique, premium, LCD ‘Chase’ display
  • App and voice command enabled (Google and Alexa)
  • Engineered with a high air volume DC motor moving up to 60% more air 
  • An additional fan speed with proportional control for faster laundry drying than ever before (140m³/h airflow)
  • Less noise, less energy
  • Manual louvre
  • ON/OFF and adjustable laundry timers
  • High Humidity WET indicator
  • Optimum Relative Humidity Heart indicator

Our fastest and cheapest laundry drying dehumidifier

Arete® Two outperforms other Meaco dehumidifiers in speed and cost-effectiveness, making drying laundry easier and more efficient than ever before. This dehumidifier has an additional fan speed (now 3, instead of the standard 2) with proportional control, providing a gentle acceleration and deceleration between modes. On top of this, Arete® Two also has an adjustable louvre and timer settings in Laundry Mode, meaning you can direct the airflow and change the timer between 1 and 12 hours depending on what laundry you have hanging on the clothes airer. 

Designed around your needs

Ideal for those needing to combat damp, mould and condensation, as well as facilitating laundry drying, Arete® Two is ideal for flats and 1 to 3 bed houses, even in spaces below 10°C.

Tailored for modern living, the premium LCD display enables users to have more control over their home humidity - with current and target humidity levels, as well as the set mode, all viewable from a glance. Arete® Two blends seamlessly into any home environment, with the same customer-loved design of Arete® One meaning you can push the dehumidifier up against any wall to save space.

It proudly stands as the first Meaco dehumidifier compatible with the Meaco app, enabling seamless control via your mobile phone or voice commands including Google Home and Amazon Alexa.

Two in One

At Meaco, we’re always focused on improving air quality in the home, Arete® addresses this need in a single appliance. Continuing the tradition of innovation seen in the MeacoDry Arete® One series, Arete® Two doubles as a dehumidifier and air purifier.

Equipped with a medical-grade H13 HEPA filter and dust filter as standard, Arete® purifies the air, ensuring a healthier living environment. These filters work to filter out dust, allergens and pet dander - perfect for coping with hay fever and other allergies. There are also charcoal filters available which remove smells and volatile organic compounds from the air. Find more here.

Arete® Two dehumidifiers also have the option of selecting the dedicated Air Purification Mode. This mode for when you want to promote airflow through the HEPA filter to clean the room air, for example, if you struggle with hay fever during the summer months, but don't need dehumidification.

Wall Mount

Wall-mount brackets are available for the Arete® 10L and 12L models which save on space, ideal for various settings such as offices, studios, garages, and utility rooms. Find out more here.

    This is very quiet when it’s running

    This is very quiet when it’s running, easy to set up on the app, the laundry setting and night mode are nice features that work well.

    Everything to like

    Low noise level. Seems to be much quicker to reach desired humidity level than previous brand so I'm thinking its using more robust internal parts than previous brand. Humidity reads same as the one in the same room, or very close to the reading which is comforting. Vent louve very helpful in directing airflow. Nice to be able to have it close to a wall. I'm hoping it outlives its guarantee, but if not, i hope that meaco will live up to its reputation if required.
