The attention to detail has been exhaustive as we perfected every interaction between the user and the dehumidifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end result is our quietest, most energy efficient dehumidifier range yet, with a host of special features to make living with Arete a pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated a Which? Best Buy, Arete is the perfect solution to dealing with condensation, mould and damp problems either in the home, in a garage, in an unheated basement, on a boat or in a caravan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn appliance or part of your home?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomers tell us that they never put their dehumidifiers away. In fact, they stay in the same area of the home all the time. So we have designed Arete to be stylish so that it looks great wherever you put it. It sits flush to the wall, has hidden castors and an air purification mode means you can use it all year round too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDehumidifiers should be seen and not heard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe discovered that lots of people sit their dehumidifier close to the bedroom. So it became obvious that noise is a very important factor. The huge success of the Meaco ABC range of very quiet dehumidifiers proved how important it is to you that your unit is quiet. Could we make Arete any quieter without compromising some other important design ideals? It took 18 months of testing to produce the quietest large dehumidifiers we have ever made. At 38dB this dehumidifier is twice as quiet as the industry standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving clutter and confusion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control panel on Arete One has simple and clearly laid out controls. The buttons that you use most often are larger; the buttons that you hardly ever use are small. Large buttons include controls for Smart Humidity Control and Smart Laundry either of which can be set by pressing just one button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Night Mode that really lets you sleep\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn many devices when you select a night mode or a sleep mode they leave a light on to indicate that it is in the mode or they forget to turn off the bleeps so a press of a button is accompanied by an annoying noise. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot on Arete. select Night Mode and every light is turned off; the fan speed drops to the quiet low mode and there will be no bleeps. You can check the humidity levels in Night Mode quickly and quietly. And even better, little-ones’ fingers won’t accidentally take you out of this quiet mode because it takes two confirming touches to change the machine back to normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe feel that the Night Mode is not just for night time but anytime when you want the dehumidifier to be as quiet as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is all in the flow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmptying the water tank is the most common action that dehumidifier owners need to do. So it was important to make sure that Arete’s large 4.8 litre tank was easy to access and empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe looked at how customers removed tanks, where they put their fingers and how they balanced the tank. That heavily influenced Arete’s design, which has two very large slots left and right of the machine that your fingers naturally drop into. This allows perfect purchase on the tank so you can pull it out smoothly, and place it on the floor so you can lift it by the integrated handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd there’s a simple but clever solution for pouring out the water. With Arete there are two spouts: one to the left and one to the right. So you can pour the water away without having to juggle or twist the tank. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd continuous drainage...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have not included a free hose in our dehumidifiers for a few years now because more than 90% of users told us that they do not use them, so they just end up in landfill.  Our aim is to reduce plastic waste, so we changed the way we do things.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo 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.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reduces plastic waste and gives you the flexibility to use the unit in the best way for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClean, clean air\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Arete One dehumidifiers come with a medical grade H13 HEPA filter which is 75% larger than the filter on our popular Low Energy models. It can be used to clean the air during dehumidification and as a stand-alone air purifier throughout the spring and summer months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur best dehumidifier ever by far\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor us, the most important thing about Arete is that is has been designed by collaboration with our customers.
