Now, with a whole host of new features to make dehumidification even easier including the new Premium LCD display. The Arete® Two range is the first Meaco dehumidifier with app integration and voice command with your favourite smart speakers including Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Designed by our team in the UK specifically for the British climate, Arete® Two proudly showcases a unique chase display, highlighting the current mode, humidity levels, target humidity, on/off timer and more. Easy to interpret, all the essential information is elegantly presented at a single glance so no more pressing through the buttons to check the target humidity. Beneath its sleek casing, the Arete® Two uses an advanced DC Motor, providing a 60% power increase and a third high speed fan for faster and cheaper drying. Despite this boost in performance, it maintains efficient energy consumption and minimal noise output. High efficiency and low cost to run were crucial to engineering the entire Arete® range and Arete® Two is no exception. In fact, it is even more efficient than its predecessor the Arete® One with the Arete® Two 20L costing only 6p/ hour to run. A standout feature of the Arete® Two is its exceptional performance in laundry drying, surpassing other Meaco dehumidifiers in speed, airflow and cost-effectiveness. With its adjustable louvre and additional fan speed option, the Arete® Two is our fastest and cheapest laundry drying dehumidifier yet. The Arete® Two is not just a dehumidifier; it is a combined air purifier. Equipped with a free medical-grade H13 HEPA filter and dust filter as standard, it purifies the air while dehumidifying a room, creating a healthier environment. For additional versatility, Arete® Two dehumidifiers feature an independant Air Purification Mode when you don't need dehumidification. This discreet function pushes the room air through the HEPA filter, ideal for tackling seasonal allergies like hay fever. You can also remove smells and volatile organic compounds from the air by using a charcoal filter. This versatility makes the Arete® dehumidifiers a great year-round appliance. Our aim is to reduce plastic waste, so we changed the way we do things. To make things easier, Arete® comes with a hose adapter to allow you to use a standard garden hose for continuous drainage if you need it. This reduces plastic waste and gives you the opportunity to use the unit in the best way for you. 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. The Arete Two has the same award-winning features as Arete One including low noise levels at just 38 dB.
