Perfect for areas with mould, condensation or damp - suitable for use in flats, apartments, single rooms and smaller properties. A two-in-one dehumidifier and air purifier, saving you money straight away.

For an easy life

Just switch Arete® on and let it do the work for you. Brand new for 2022. We’ve designed this unit in the UK with the help of around 2000 customers, over a period of five years, so we know exactly what people are looking for and what’s most important to them. That’s why Arete® is super-quiet. It’s why we’ve made it easy to move around – with furniture-style feet so it fits in with your décor, and castors so you can roll it to a new location whenever you need to. 

It’s why we’ve added a medical-grade HEPA filter for better air purification. It’s why the water tank has lips on both sides so it doesn’t matter if you’re left-handed or right-handed – it’s always easy to empty the tank*. It’s why it comes with a special adaptor in the lid so you can attach your garden hose to re-use the water – no need to buy another plastic hose from us. Working sustainably as well as intelligently.

*The water tank does not come with a handle.

Award-winning excellence in your home

Arete® is the Greek goddess of excellence. We took our inspiration from that name and have spent around five years designing and refining this collection so that it delivers a great experience every time you switch it on.

Designed in Britain for the British weather, using teams based in London, Cambridge and Guildford, Arete® is designed to blend perfectly into your home without losing any of the practical functionality – so it works brilliantly and it looks fantastic. Hidden in plain sight and working hard for a better home environment, you’ll soon wonder how you did without it.

And that’s why we’ve added a 5-year parts and labour warranty. We are serious about looking after our customers and we want our products to last as long as possible in your home. So just call us if you need to – we are always here to help.

What do reviewers think?

'I was amazed at just how smart this machine was' - Express

'I have just started using this and and what impressed me is that it much quieter than the Meaco 12L low energy dehumidifier which was almost industrial by comparison - it is so quiet. The Arete rates five stars+' - Meaco customer

    wonder machine

    i live in a small 1 bed flat and had mould issues last year. ha came and washed the walls and painted with mould paint. told me it was mainly me and moisture traps creating all the condensation. after doing all the usual damp preventing measures, i still got damp. i got the meacodry arete one as it was endorsed by which? i put it in the bedroom to start as it was the problem area, but it was too noisy for me and i moved it to the hallway. keeping all the doors open it really works well keeping moisture down. i have 2 moisture traps on my bedroom window to keep an eye on the moisture at that point. i also tried it with the washing cycle near my airer with a tower fan blowing from the other end. now my flat is small and only 7 years old and very well insulated, too well insulated really as it contributes to condensation and damp. so this little machine is excellent and i cannot believe how much condensation we actually produce without even thinking. this will really open your eyes and i would highly recommend if the budget allows

    Economic, work horse which I love.

    I bought 2 of these as I live in an old flat with poor ventilation and dreadful double glazing, often the smell of damp could be smelt...joys of old buildings converted i to flats in the 80's. These have changed my flat from a damp smelling stuffy home into a fresh smelling cleaner air.

    Sound wise they are hardly noticeable, I have them running day and night and had no issues with sleep, if anything my sleep has improved.

    Running g both have not increased my electricity bill at all, very economical to run.

    I would highly recommend this item, I feel it will be a work horse in winter as I will dry washing using the laundry setting, thus will suck all moisture from clothing.
