One person said: “I think it’s 4p an hour, I love mine, we have the 20 litres one and empty daily.” 

Another added: “It’s the best especially for drying clothes; about 4p an hour.” 

A third commented: “We got 20 litres since last year and I'm so happy we got it! It's approx 5p per hour, it’s much drier and warmer at home.

"Other plus is washing – taking so quick to dry and no more condensation on windows!

"We got a three bed house and we put [our] Meaco downstairs in [the] living room – [it] works magic for us.” 

Meanwhile, someone else, who owns a Meaco 8DDL, explained: “I've got two and best buy ever, helps with washing drying and also my house smells better in winter with washing on. 

“Cheap to run, don't think about it. Best buy ever. Definitely money well spent.”

At the same time, another chimed in: “No condensation since I've had it. Runs all the time and cuts out when the house gets to correct humidity.” 

Whilst one user wrote: “I've had one for two years, not noticed any increase in bills.”

If you fancy getting your hands on this Meaco Arete One 12L dehumidifier and air purifier, you nab one from a range of high-street stores, including Argos and John Lewis. 

It is currently out of stock on the John Lewis website, but if you want to order one online, you can buy one for £179.99 from Meaco directly. 

Chris Michael, managing director of Meaco, leading UK air treatment specialist, explained that while dehumidifiers can be great to dry your clothes, they can also be beneficial to reducing mould inside your home too. 

To understand how to combat mould appearing and spreading, it’s crucial to understand why it appears and what contributes to its growth.

Drying laundry naturally indoors on airers will increase the moisture in the air, which needs to go somewhere. As a result, a dehumidifier is a great option to help reduce the humidity levels at home.

While there is an initial cost, many dehumidifiers are highly energy-efficient, some costing as little as 4p per hour to run. 

Using a dehumidifier to dry laundry is more cost-effective than a tumble dryer, which generally costs over £1 per load. 

Some dehumidifiers also offer further benefits with built-in air purifiers, providing added value.
