This is a medical-grade filter that cleans the air during dehumidification, and can also be used as a stand-alone purifier during the warmer months of the year. I tested it overnight in an unheated, external utility room that’s horribly prone to condensation, and it did a solid job of keeping the drips at bay. If you can't make your mind up, you can use both types of filters and swap them around whenever you want to. We knew we were going to use a dehumidifer a lot after trying out a smaller version and seeing the difference it made in our kitchen, so for us the Meaco Arete One is a really good choice and good value for money.

For comparison, Pro Breeze's most energy-effecient comprssor dehumidifier, the Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier, uses 220W to the MeacoDry 12L Arete One's 151W, and costs roughly 6p per hour to run.

It's wise to think carefully about the size of room or the amount of moisture the dehumidifier is going to be up against.As far as I’m concerned this isn’t really a problem, as the Smart controls work so well, but if you’d like to tweak things up and down yourself, then you might consider something else. and weve only been using the air purifier for now as its summer so we dont need the dehumidifier yet. Every Arete® dehumidifier comes with a free H13 HEPA filter so you can see first hand just how good it is.

We have another Meaco dehumidifier (the Meaco 12l Low Energy Dehumidifier and Air Purifier) that lives in the kitchen over winter, keeping our badly-built kitchen dry and our shiny new Meaco Arete is in the spare room drying laundry most days. That means you don't need to constantly empty the dehumidifier as I found I was doing with other models.

As an extra design feature, we’ve also added a pouring spout on the left and right side, so there’s no need for twisting or changing hands to pour out the water. The only dehumidifier I've found that does a better job at clothes drying is the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode.

It sits flush to the wall and we have added feet to make it look more furniture-like, and hidden the castors away.

It works quickly and efficiently to bring down the humidity, and it delivers everything as promised.Constant temperatures are less optimal for growth regimes than periods of diurnal temperature variation, such as higher temperatures to coincide with light period, and lower temperatures during the dark period.
