Manufacturers Description

The MeacoDry Arete® Two 20L is ideal for those in 3-5-bedroom houses who want to maintain a healthy humidity level in their home. 
Prevent condensation, combat mould and damp problems or simply dry your laundry quickly at a low cost. All whilst purifying the air in your home making it cleaner for you and your family. 
Also suitable for use in garages, conservatories, boats and holiday homes.

Whisper Quiet – Our quietest large dehumidifier yet. In fact, at only 38dB, it is more than 
twice as quiet as the industry standard.

Optimized for the British Climate – Programmed for your life and the British weather.

The performance of this dehumidifier has been developed around the British climate and the British user. 
Arete extracts water most efficiently between 10°C and 20°C, the temperatures at which you need it most. 
Standard dehumidifiers are created to work most efficiently at 27°C, 
way above the average temperature of a British household.

MeacoDry Arete® Two 20L 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 150m³/h airflow), all whilst keeping energy consumption low. This all means that the Arete® Two 12L model costs just 3p / hour to run.

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.

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.

Extended Guarantee
This Dehumidifier & Air Purifier comes with an extended 5 year guarantee.

A unique, premium, LCD ‘Chase’ display
Starting with the unique premium LCD chase display, you can see all the information you need at a glance: current humidity, target humidity, recommended humidity, current mode, timer, ‘WET’ indicator, tank full icon and WiFi/app pairing. This is the first dehumidifier of its kind to offer a premium LCD digital display to show your humidity data, offering you more control than ever. The big advantage with the Chase display is that you can see, at a glance, the room humidity, your target and your progress to the optimum humidity.

App and voice command enabled
Arete® Two is our first app-enabled dehumidifier meaning you can control every setting from the palm of your hand! Change the mode, check the humidity level or adjust the fan speed while you dry laundry in the utility room, without having to move away from the sofa. Already in bed and forgot to set the dehumidifier to Night Mode? No problem! And because Arete® Two can now communicate via your phone, you can also link to Google Home and Alexa and even set up rooms. “Ok Google, turn on the kitchen dehumidifier”, “Alexa, change Arete® to Laundry Mode”. It’s that easy!

Engineered with a high air volume DC motor: Less noise, less energy
In terms of functionality, Arete® Two has been engineered with a DC motor, the same whisper quiet motor we use in our fans. This means in ‘high’ fan speed can move up to 50% more air whilst using less energy; meaning it’ll dry your laundry faster whilst using the same amount of energy.

An additional Laundry Busting fan speed with proportional control
With the DC Motor at the centre of the Arete® Two design, it offers you additional laundry busting fan speed as well (now 3, instead of the standard 2) with proportional control, providing a gentle acceleration and deceleration between modes. Say goodbye to clunky noises and hello to more power for less energy, vital when drying laundry at home or for rapid dehumidification.

Manual louvre
Drying Laundry has never been more efficient, thanks to this additional fan speed and manual louvre. Using the louvre to direct airflow onto your laundry will reduce drying times as a result of the targeted airflow.

ON/OFF and adjustable laundry timers
The ON/OFF and adjustable Laundry Mode timer in Arete® Two also allows you to set a timer between 1 and 12 hours depending on what laundry you have hanging on the clothes airer; choose a shorter timer for small loads of underwear, and a longer timer when drying towels or bedding. With Arete® Two, you have more control, saving you time and energy; it has been developed to work around you and your needs better than ever before.

High Humidity “WET” Indicator and Optimum Relative Humidity Heart indicator
In addition to the new features already listed, Arete® Two has been designed with a High Humidity WET and Optimal Humidity Heart Indicator. A simple solution to showing you when you need to switch your dehumidifier back on! If you’ve turned the dehumidifier off after doing a load of laundry or whilst you’ve been away for the weekend, Arete® Two tells you that the humidity level has significantly risen above your normal target and that you should turn it back on. You’ll see “WET” appear on the display and you’ll know to switch it back on to continue optimising your home humidity. The heart indicator shows the optimum relative humidity for the average home in the UK, at 55% RH, you’ll see a little love heart on the display telling you that this is the best target humidity to set.
