Meaco Arete dehumidifier one or two

Have settled on purchasing the Meaco Arete 20L. Question is whether the Arete two is worth the extra £100? Has anyone owned both?

Not too bothered about the smart features. But I believe the two may have a better fan?

Two. It's phenomenal! I run mine 24/7 and it's paired up to Alexa. And my phone. Fantastic

What's it for @Greenfinger1? Not a silly question honestly. I have two - one (ecoair) is for drying clothes and is run on laundry setting, the other (ebac) is on 24/7 on smart setting.
The ebac one is like setting your heating to never go below a certain level, it just regulates humidity rather than temperature. The ecoair is in place of a tumbler dryer.

@redboxer321 Primary use is for laundry in the colder months.

Think I'll go with the two. If I purchased the one then I'd only be pining over the two!

You need to return it or contact them, it shouldn't be doing that

Two. Bought mine in November and it’s been on constantly.

I think there must be something wrong with it. I have read so many good reviews and no way mine is as good as others say and definitely worse then my old eco air dehumidifier.

I ordered the two! I ended up getting an 18L version from Costco that seems a very good price!
