This is a great bit of kit, ideal for drying laundry indoors over winter. A full load on a clothes horse is bone dry overnight. It has also helped massively with the condensation problem, and extracts a LOT of water in a short period of time. It is not 'whisper quiet' so I wouldn't use it in my bedroom overnight, but it doesn't intrude more than a fan or something similar in a room with background noise like a TV or radio during the day. The app is quite handy, allowing you to check humidity levels and turn it on and off remotely via WiFi, and sending you an alert if it needs emptying.Not the cheapest on the market, but seems solid and well made, is energy efficient and works very well.

Edit after a few months of use:Wow! After trying several dehumidifiers across different price ranges and sizes, this one has completely exceeded my expectations. It runs quietly, and the added bonus of air purification is absolutely fantastic. I’m genuinely so pleased with it and would definitely recommend it.The app connectivity is excellent too – it makes controlling the unit so much easier. One improvement I’d love to see is a notification when the water tank is full, as I haven’t managed to get that working yet. If you’re house is quite humid , don’t shy to buy a bigger tank capacity, if you don’t want to use the hose draining function.This is by far the best dehumidifier I’ve ever owned. It extracts around 2 litres of water in 24 hours and has made a huge difference to the air quality in our home. It feels much fresher to breathe, and even our cats seem more comfortable with the improved humidity and purified air which is especially important in the damp climate of northern England.I’m honestly so satisfied with this product I couldn’t recommend it more. ( I’m not being bias) It’s absolutely worth the money!

Really impressed with this dehumidifier. Setup was a breeze, plug it in, set your desired humidity level, and it gets to work. What truly stands out is its performance: it’s consistently pulling a full 12L of water from the air each day, keeping the room at a comfortable 50% humidity. That’s made a noticeable difference in air quality and damp control. If you’re dealing with excess moisture or just want a healthier indoor environment, this unit delivers exactly what it promises.

Update to last review - now 16 months ownershipThe unit is going well still - looking a bit grubby and it would be good to have user access to clean some of the internal vents. The main issue is still the poor/buggy control code, which I hope they have improved for current models, but too often as previously found it fails to spot a change in humidity when it comes on briefly to check and also at times even when on, the whole bathroom etc can go from dry to 95%, even though the unit is on (fan running) it just fails to resample the significant change - when out of warranty I may replace this controller!This has been in use for about a year and has just worked, and is easy to setup and just leave, periodically emptying it (good size tank) and cleaning the air filter.As in the headline, this is far from silent at times, which Meaco could probably do more to solve, but you will find that it can be a bit noisy at times, as other dehumidiiers are. One of the first fixes I found was to put bubble wrap around the cable holder - which fits loosley and becomes something to vibrate. Other times I just move it a bit or wedge it against a wall with some rubber of similar, changing its natural frequency.Two features I would like them to add: 1) having a memory of the last state if you unplug the unit. Frustratingly it both forgets the last humidity setting, and the last running state, so is unsuitable for use with an external timer. 2) properly periodically check the humidity when deciding when to come on. Far too many times the unit fires up for a few seconds to decide whether the humidity is too high but for some reason, even a significant change is often missed, in which case I just press the off/on button and now it soon recognises the change.

In my experience, the Meaco MeacoDry Arete® Two 25L Dehumidifier & HEPA H13 Air Purifier is nothing short of a game-changer for larger homes. I mean, right off the bat, the fact that it doubles as an air purifier is a huge bonus. We finally have the perfect excuse to put away that noisy old single-task dehumidifier and welcome this sleek, energy-efficient model that barely whispers.The quiet operation is seriously impressive. We've had guests over who didn’t even notice it was on! You know, I'm typically skeptical of such claims, but this time, I'm completely sold. The large tank makes it incredibly convenient; I no longer find myself needing to empty it every other day.Now, let's talk about laundry mode. Drying clothes, especially in a larger home, has always been a chore. Well, not anymore. I tend to think one of the biggest selling points of this unit is how quickly it dries clothes. It's like a magic trick every time.And oh, the Meaco App compatibility! Having control right at my fingertips through my phone adds another layer of convenience, making adjustments so intuitive and user-friendly.The five-year warranty is the cherry on top, giving peace of mind and ensuring this isn’t just another temporary gadget.All in all, investing in the Meaco MeacoDry Arete® feels like bringing a breath of fresh—and perfectly dry—air into our home. It's a reliable fixture that effortlessly handles moisture while purifying the air. Highly recommended!

This is a very good machine. Helped the rooms to dry out and feels fresher even warmer. It's very efficient. Still learning all the functions especially the function to help dry clothes
