To fit the air filter, you’ll find a small notch on the back of the dehumidifier, just slide that out and slot the filter into the filter frame with the tabs facing you so it’s easier to remove.

Add an Arete Pump to the 20 or 25L model for the convenience of never having to empty the tank ever again. This handle feels far more robust than most that I've come across on other dehumidifiers and is really easy to grip. For context, I live in a Victorian terrace, so as you can imagine, dampness and mould can be an issue, especially when it’s been raining a lot. No complicated controls: one press of the large Smart Humidity button is all you need to set up your dehumidifier and walk away.If we put it on a loose floorboard it gives off a low vibrating sound, but that’s probably more due to loose floorboards than the Meaco.

The curved design is unobtrusive and relatively stylish for a dehumidifier, and it’s compact enough to sit against a wall or in the corner of a room without taking up too much space. Our control logic also manages the fan speed to increase extraction rates when required and switch to a quieter mode when the target humidity is almost reached.And a couple of reviews mention the warm air that the dehumidifier pushes out into the room, saying that this can be uncomfortable if the temperature is high in the summer months. At this point, the unit will beep and a red light will be displayed to alert you that the tank needs emptying.

it's potentially not so good for the summer months, although most of us are probably unlikely to be running a dehumidifier when the weather is at its warmest.Arete can be used purely as an air purifier in the summer months when dehumidification is not required.
