Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the excellent customer service, highlighting the helpful and efficient staff who provide prompt responses and hassle-free repairs. Many consumers appreciate the company's commitment to their warranty, often described as "gold standard," with quick collection, repair, and return of products. People are also very satisfied with the products themselves, noting their effectiveness in drying clothes and preventing condensation. However, some customers also noted issues with product quality and durability, with some units developing faults after a relatively short period. A few people were dissatisfied with the company's policy regarding spare parts, reporting difficulties in obtaining basic components for self-repair, which they felt undermined the "right to repair" principles.

Warranty working well

My dehumidifier developed a fault after 2 and a half years of good service. The repair process was quick, painless and free due to the warranty. It was returned to me today 5 days after I dropped it off locally. That is impressive service.

First dehumidifier packed up after 8…

First dehumidifier packed up after 8 months. The replacement lasted for a similar amount of time. They've requested it to be sent to them for repair which I've done. Now 3 months on, I've heard nothing! I don't have much faith in Meaco products unfortunately.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is concerning to hear that you have been without your machine for three months, as our repair and replacement process does not take this long. There may have been a miscommunication somewhere in the process. Please contact us directly or provide your information as per the request sent so we can investigate this immediately and resolve the situation for you.

Can't get past the AI to get a real person.

I want to talk to someone about the loud vibrating noise my new dehumidifier is making, but you can't get past the AI to get to an agent! It repeatedly says it will put you through but then after silence for a few seconds, it asks if you are still there, then when you confirm again you want to speak to an agent, it starts the whole conversation again! After nearly 5 minutes I gave up and sent an email, only to get a reply on how very busy they were and no timescale on when they will find the time to get back to you. I did get a rely by email a few hours later confirming that it sounds like a fault with my dehumidifier so I'll return it to the retailer for a refund, but I really wanted to talk to someone at Meaco so I'm leaving this review as it is because the AI phone loop needs changing ASAP.

Arête One 20L repair

We had an issue with our Arête One 20L model dehumidifier where the control panel was unresponsive. Meaco support were fantastic, and our dehumidifier is repaired back with us within a week. Excellent service, and great to see a company stand behind their products.

Under warranty had a display issue

Under warranty had a display issue
Did not have the box and did not expect much in customer service

Was totally wrong. Email support was prompt and fantastic. New box arrived and unit picked up within days. A few days later had a response 'Replaced Display PCB Board, tested to ensure working as intended.' and the unit was delivered back to me
Working as good as new

Genuinely surprised these days to have such excellent customer service and warranty support

The machine works fine but you can’t buy replacement filters, so best avoid this one!!

Reply from Meaco (U.K.) Limited

Thank you for your feedback. We understand the frustration when items are out of stock, but there is no need to avoid this one.

Each filter pack contains three filters, which provides around nine months of use based on the typical three-month lifespan per filter.

While we always aim to have stock available, demand for HEPA filters increases significantly during the pollen and condensation seasons.

If a replacement is left until the last minute, you may occasionally find them temporarily out of stock, but we work hard to replenish these quickly to ensure you can continue using your unit effectively.

My dehumidifier had been leaking water

My dehumidifier had been leaking water. Meaco were extremely helpful. They explained about their repairs service and sent me a returns label with instructions as to how send the dehumidifier back. They emailed with the problem they'd found, fixed it and returned my dehumidifier promptly. I couldn't have asked for better service or a fairer price for it.

Highly inaccurate reads massively different to 3 thermo pro humidity sensors placed around the room the machines have to put it on 40 to keep it below 55 despite the machine reading 39 but the room is 55 just hammers the electric have sent numerous videos in to meaco

Reply from Meaco (U.K.) Limited

Thank you for your feedback around humidity readings. There are a few common misconceptions regarding how different devices read humidity. Portable hygrometers often remain static in one spot, whereas a dehumidifier continuously pulls air from across the room, providing a more dynamic reading of the overall environment.

It is also important to note that dehumidifier sensors are not designed for pinpoint laboratory accuracy; if they were, the machine would toggle on and off constantly, which is inefficient and hard on the components. This is why there is a standard leeway of around 5% built into the logic of the machine. Setting the unit slightly lower to achieve your desired ambient level is a standard way to manage this variance and ensure the room stays comfortable.

Great for repairs

After 1 year the dehumidifier displayed an error. I asked Meaco what it meant. Next thing I know they are sending a box so I can send it back for repair! Dehumidifier collected when promised, and sorted within a few days. I even got a service report! I didn't even know it was faulty! Brilliant service and my dehumidifier works better than ever.

Great Customer Service

After advising Meaco we had an issue with our dehumidifier and supplying proof of purchas, they quickly responded with a collection request so we could send it back for repair under warranty.
We took it to the Post Office on the Saturday over the Easter weekend and we had a fully working dehumidifier delivered back on the Friday.
All in all, a friendly and efficient customer service. I wish all companies treated you like this, as it feels like they genuinely care about your problem, and are happy to resolve it.

Amazing repair service

Amazing service. My dehumidifier was about 2 years old and stopped working. I emailed customer service, got a quick reply. They couriered a box to me and arranged collection from my home. The courier collected it on Wednesday, Maeco received, repaired and dispatched the machine on Thursday, and it was delivered back to me on Friday. Incredible! That's the best after-sales service I've received. Buy your machine from them.

Excellent warranty service and quick repair👍

Very good customer service. My Meaco Arete One 12L developed a fault where the control panel was not working and the unit could not be turned off without unplugging it.

I contacted support and the process was quick and smooth. They arranged collection, kept me informed, and repaired the unit. According to the service report, they replaced the main PCB, display PCB, and sensors. The dehumidifier now works perfectly again.

Communication was clear, turnaround time was reasonable, and the repair was done under warranty with no issues.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the service and would recommend Meaco.

Having purchased a Meaco Arete One 20l Dehumidifier with a 5 year warranty Now after just 26 Months I've been informed that I will have to pay for advice from "Just Answer" who want to charge me for advice no mention of the 5 year warranty that I've already paid for.

Excellent product and customer service…

Excellent product and customer service is exceptional. My dehumidifier developed a fault and I contacted Meaco directly. A repair was organised and pick up arranged very efficiently. Report itemising the repairs was sent to me and the product returned. I can’t speak more highly of this company. I judge a company on how they deal with product issues and Meaco have been one of the best companies to deal with. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of buying a dehumidifier to make Meaco a serious contender in deciding your purchase
