10L
A single room, studio, flat or lighter one-to-two-bedroom-home moisture job where compact dimensions, a low fan setting and wall-mount compatibility matter.
- Normal-condition extraction
- 4.19 L/day
- Rated input
- 136 W

Four models · one comparison condition
Meaco Arete Two, size by size.
Compare the 10L, 12L, 20L and 25L using Meaco's published figures at 20°C / 60% RH. The profiles below explain the real step-ups in extraction, input, airflow, tank size and physical bulk before you open a retailer.
The useful comparison
What actually changes?
| Model | 20°C / 60% RH | 10°C / 60% RH | Rated input | Max airflow | Tank | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10L profile → | 4.19 L/day | 1.38 L/day | 136 W | 140 m³/h | 2.5 L | 10.7 kg |
| 12L profile → | 5.40 L/day | 1.97 L/day | 136 W | 140 m³/h | 2.5 L | 10.9 kg |
| 20L profile → | 8.50 L/day | 3.35 L/day | 207 W | 255 m³/h | 4.8 L | 15.1 kg |
| 25L profile → | 10.85 L/day | 3.55 L/day | 250 W | 255 m³/h | 4.8 L | 16.1 kg |
The 10L, 12L, 20L and 25L labels are not everyday collection promises. At 20°C / 60% RH, current published extraction ranges from 4.19 to 10.85 L/day. At 10°C / 60% RH it ranges from 1.38 to 3.55 L/day.

Each profile includes the manufacturer's normal- and cold-condition figures, dimensions, limitations, comparison links and a clearly labelled retailer exit.
12L
Flats and small homes with recurring condensation or indoor laundry where the compact chassis, 140 m³/h maximum airflow and wall-mount option are useful.
- Normal-condition extraction
- 5.40 L/day
- Rated input
- 136 W
- 25p/kWh example
- 3.40p/hour
20L
Larger or multi-room moisture jobs, regular laundry and households that value higher airflow and a larger tank more than compact dimensions or wall mounting.
- Normal-condition extraction
- 8.50 L/day
- Rated input
- 207 W
- 25p/kWh example
- 5.17p/hour
25L
Persistent high moisture loads, frequent laundry or a larger managed area where faster recovery is worth comparing against the 20L's lower rated input.
- Normal-condition extraction
- 10.85 L/day
- Rated input
- 250 W
- 25p/kWh example
- 6.25p/hour
Decision order
Start with the job, not the litre badge.
Measure temperature and humidity first. Decide whether a compressor dehumidifier suits the room. Then compare capacity, airflow, tank size, noise and equal-condition input.
A higher-capacity model can draw more power while running yet finish an intensive task sooner. That is why the profiles show an hourly rated-input example without presenting it as a prediction of monthly cost.
