If you've been waiting for the right time to buy a dehumidifier, this is it, people. Right now, Appliances Direct has knocked £85 off the Meaco Arete Two, and I can tell you that it's the best dehumidifier we have tested here at Ideal Home.
As someone who battles condensation on our single-glazed windows every day and has the never-ending job of drying laundry indoors, I and the rest of the Ideal Home team of experts have tried countless models. But the Arete Two is the one that has impressed us most.
Here's why we think this is a deal not to miss.
Meaco's Arete Two is powerful yet energy efficient, quiet enough to run in the background and comes with handy features like an impressive laundry mode and smart app control.
What really sets it apart is how efficient it is to run, costing as little as 5.9p per hour, which makes it far cheaper to use than a tumble dryer. Another big win is its dedicated laundry mode, which worked brilliantly for our reviewer, as her wet washing dried within hours rather than the days it usually takes in her terraced home.
It's surprisingly quiet, too so it can keep running in the background without disturbing anyone. And on top of all that, it doubles as an air purifier, effectively filtering out dust and allergens as it works to remove moisture.
All of this is the reason this sleek unit sits at the top of our buying guide, and with this deal, it's better value than ever, as it's a model that usually holds its price.
This discount won't stick around for long, though, so snap one of these up while stocks last.
Dehumidifier deal alternatives
If £276 is still on the steep end of your dehumidifier budget, there are plenty of budget dehumidifiers on the market. Here are our top picks to snap up.
Dryzone's dehumidifier and air purifier is a compact two-in-one unit with a HEPA filter for rooms up to 15m2. Its 2.2 litre tank extracts up to 12L of water per day, and is ideal for overnight use with its auto shut-off feature that stops it when the tank is full.
This small, affordable, super quiet dehumidifier from Pro Breeze costs just 1p per hour to run. Don't expect the same powerful performance as a compressor dehumidifier, as its Peltier condenser has a much lower extraction rate, but it can be easily tucked away on a shelf, bedside table or a windowsill.
EcoAir's DD1 Simple MK3 dessicant dehumidifier can be operated in any space that's above 1°C, making it a great option for unheated rooms during the winter months. Our reviewer's tests showed that it performed brilliantly in normal conditions too, making quick work of drying wet washing.
