Outstanding customer service. Outstanding product.

The level of customer service received by my wife and I from Ms Heidi Riefer of Meaco has been outstanding.
The Meaco dehumidifier - a top brand in itself. Class, pure class.

Ms Riefer - unequivocally, a superb ambassador for the brand.

Bravo, Meaco. Bravo.
Can HIGHLY recommend.

Refusing to allow out of warranty repair without proof of purchase

I have been a user of a Meaco Dehumidifier for almost a year, although it has suddenly stopped working due to a widely reported fault. I have been unable to locate my proof of purchase so was fine with paying for out of warranty repair - however Meaco refuse to do this. I am completely fine with paying the price to repair the item (which failed with no fault of my own, due to it being a widely known defect) but their policy means that my Dehumidifier may end up in a landfill.

Extremely disheartening, especially from a company that has claimed to be aiming for sustainability & has touted their waste-free repair shop as a sign of this.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We understand how frustrating it is when an appliance stops working, especially when you are willing to pay for a repair. However, we are required to operate within clear safety and compliance policies.

We are unable to accept units for repair without valid proof of purchase. This is not unique to Meaco and is standard practice across manufacturers and retailers. Proof of purchase allows us to verify the product’s age, origin, and repair history. Without it, we cannot confirm whether a unit has been modified, incorrectly repaired, or otherwise tampered with, which presents a safety risk to our technicians.

Our refusal is not related to payment. Even for paid, out-of-warranty repairs, safety and traceability must come first. Opening and repairing electrical appliances without proper verification would place our staff at risk and would breach our internal safety procedures.

With regard to sustainability, responsible repair also means responsible handling. Sustainability does not override safety obligations. Our mission ensures that products we service meet the necessary requirements to protect both our team and our customers.

We appreciate your disappointment and regret that we cannot assist further in this instance, but we must apply our policies consistently and responsibly.

Excellent customer service

16 months after purchase my Arete 20L suddenly stopped working. I spoke with customer service who requested an email with all the details and then promptly arranged for the unit to be collected from my home. Fortunately, I had retained the original packaging so a collection was arranged very swiftly. Collected on Thursday and on the following Tuesday I received an email explaining the repair and the machine was ready to be delivered back to me the next day. As it was I had to delay the delivery due to not being home, but to turnaround a collection, repair and redelivery in under a week is excellent customer service.
I rely on this unit to dry my laundry especially in these winter months so the prompt service was really appreciated.

Good experience

I have 2 of their dehumidifiers, one started malfunctioning. I contacted support, they offered repair even though the unit was just outside warranty, with free and easy return. In the end it couldn't be repaired, so they shipped a brand new replacement unit. I always recommend Meaco products to friends.

Amazing customer service!

One of the main reasons I chose Meaco products are the fact they're a local UK company. They're products are also really competitive/class leading.

I started out with their older DD8L dehumidifier and although it did its job well it did so noisily and warmly.

However I was so impressed with the build quality and value I decided to upgrade to the new Arete 12L and buy a second for my kitchen. I have them both running 24/7 and having the ability to set the desired humidity level is great. The digital display is easy to use and it's quiet. The only issue is the light on the top that turns on when the tank is full - it's BLINDING at night!

When we had the 40°C summer recently I bought the Meaco Sefte air multiplier fan. It was an absolute miracle. By circulating air around the entire room it cooled you down without blowing directly on you which makes you cold.
It wasn't cheap and it isn't WiFi enabled which is a shame. The magnetic remote is perfect.

So my reason for writing this review is because my Sefte fan has started playing up. It would make the movements to circulate the air but the fan wasn't actually spinning. Another fault was the unit not working at all. All of the lights would light up every few seconds which was infuriating at night. The only way to stop it was to unplug it and wait.

I contacted customer service and they replied really quickly to my email. They have sent out a replacement unit straight away and provided me a prepaid label.
Unlike some companies Meaco trust you as a customer to return the item AFTER delivery of the replacement. That is very rare and speaks of excellent customer service.

I could have just given them 5* and mentioned the customer service. However I wanted to highlight that I have spent a lot of money with Meaco on a few products over the past 4 years and only one product has ever had an issue and Meaco sorted it immediately.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Meaco in the future because I know it would be rare for an issue to occur, even if it unfortunately did, you have an amazing three year warranty and customer service that goes above and beyond.

Buy British!

Our Meaco Arete One dehumidifier was slightly out of warranty. I contacted customer support and they were amazing. Sent out DPD label, collected, replaced several parts, cleaned and returned all within a couple of weeks. Highly recommend and would purchase from them again.

Great Company - 3 year warranty - HONOURED IN FULL +++

Have a Meaco ABC-12L , after Two and a bit years it wasn't dehumidifying - receipt says 3 year warranty
emailed - asked to do a quick test - that didn't fix it
two days later - new machine delivered ! NO quibble !
What more can you ask for ?
Efficient very quiet machine - easy to use, use it in a small room and it will dry a load of washing in a few hours.

Quickly becoming essential

I’ve had the Arete 1 6L for a few days and love it already.
The shopping experience from the Meaco Ireland website was great, ordered Sunday night and arrived on Tuesday.
The machine is easy to operate and efficiently dries our micro en-suite bathroom which becomes very steamy and is giving us a silverfish problem. I’ll return for an update on the silverfish in a few weeks.
I read a very bold claim that it would dry a load of laundry in 6hrs, that’s not the case for me with heavy winter clothes but it got to 80% dry in that time on a miserable rainy day which is great so it’s still a 5 star from me!
I just wish I had bought it sooner.

Meaco Dehumidifier

My new Meaco Arete 1 dehumidifier has changed my life! Long gone are the days of washing taking an absolute age to dry! I'm still amazed at how much water the unit captures and dread to think the impact it would have on my home if all that moisture was in the air! 10/10!

Thank you for the lovely feedback. We’re really pleased to hear you’re happy with the 6L unit and that you’re already seeing such a good amount of moisture being removed from the bedroom. It’s great to know you’re finding it quiet and compact too. Once you try it on laundry drying, you should see equally impressive results.

Our Meaco Dehumidifier which was still under warranty stopped working. Contacted their Service Department who were very helpful. Supplied return packaging and label. Sent back Friday 16th January and arrived back having been repaired and tested on Wednesday 21st January. Fantastic service, very pleasant and helpful staff. Very impressive. Can't rate them highly enough.

Super fast dehumidifier repair.

2 year old Arete One 25l dehumidifier playing up, control buttons and display making no sense.
Contacted Customer Services - spoke to an extremely polite and professional lady and explained the issue.
No problem - she sent me a new box and packing for the return which arrived the next morning, and DPD collected the dehumidifier.
Meaco mailed me a service report detailing the problem. All done and back with me in 10 days. Dehumidifier working spot on now!
Customer Service beyond expectations! Other companies please learn how to carry this out properly.
Thanks Meaco.

Our machine developed a fault under warranty, the team were so helpful, especially Harry who sorted everything via email including sending us a new box, arranging collection, sorting servicing and repair, and getting our dehumidifier back to us swiftly (picked up Monday, repaired, serviced, and home by thursday) Service and repair time was super efficient!

Warranty return for repairs

Send back my dehumidifier because the screen had a fault after approx 3 years of service. Was sent a box for packing and then the unit was collected by courier. A few days later received a service report via email saying that the screen, a temperature sensor, humidity sensor had been replaced. Not only that, but they replaced the electrical lead that my puppy had chewed through, all free of charge. Received the dehumidifier back 2 days after the email.
Fantastic service and a fast turnaround for a free warranty repair.
I would highly recommend Meaco 👏
