In 2022, after 5 years of listening to customers and developing the new Arete® range we launched Arete® One, our new domestic dehumidifier and air purifier to hugely positive reviews and exceptional demand from customers. We don’t claim to have created the perfect domestic dehumidifier, but we might be very close! And we’re proud to say that the MeacoDry Arete® design gives it a lot of advantages over other dehumidifiers (including our own). A question we hear from customers on a regular basis is: ‘What’s the difference between the Arete® 12L and your other 12L dehumidifier models?’
So we decided to create this blog articles to help clarify the key differences between the Arete® 12L, the 12L Low Energy and the 12L ABC.

What’s in a design?
Our customers provided us with feedback that their dehumidifier stays in the same place all year round when they aren’t using it. Although it is sold as a small home appliance, the Arete dehumidifier might end up becoming a part of the furniture and staying in a fixed position. Our Arete dehumidifiers are stylish and blend in, they can fit against the wall and take up less space, with a cable tidy and hidden castors, they are easy to move if needed.
