From order to delivery of the MeacoDry Arete One 10L dehumidifier was less than 24 hours - fantastic. I was particularly pleased that there was no delivery charge. The unit looks good, is very quiet and easy to use, and collected impressive amounts of water in our large cold rooms during recent dank weather. We appreciated the helpful booklet - so many manufacturers these days just refer you to websites for instructions. Not so with Meaco. Another great feature is the ease of use of the company's website, where I registered the product to confirm our warranty. My final positive comment about the website relates to the background and values of this UK company. The feature "Our Story" details this, and allows you to understand why Meaco has won so many awards for its products. Why go to a distributor when you can buy direct with such a quality of service?

I purchased 2 rather expensive dehumidifiers for our home use, they are rather heavy to lift and move about because the caster wheel feet don’t come with the product and you have to purchase them separately at another expense to me , the cost being £49.98 for 2 sets for the 2 dehumidifiers I’d purchased, I think I’m being rather generous giving 3 stars when realistically 1 star would have also be to higher score, shall we say the stars are for the product and not the fact that your company sponged another £49.98 for something that should come with the product complete, I’m guessing that i wont be the only person to mention this in a review, do the right thing and refund the cost of the casters, regards Len Aaron

The product was highly rated BUT…..

The product that I wanted was highly rated. However they gladly took payment but didn’t fulfill the order as specified, on contact with “customer service” there was no apology, no explanation or date as to when they would supply the dehumidifier I had paid for. The attitude was appalling so I requested a refund, I was then told it would take time for them to process? Possibly up to 10 days 2 weeks, I instigated a refund through PayPal, so got my money back but then received an email apologising for a delay in dispatching! One half doesn’t know what the other is doing. Definitely Not a Professional Service

They sold me a dehumidifier which is not fit for purpose as it will not work properly in a garage which has air brick venting. It keeping going when it should cut out +/-3% of 55%. They will not give me a refund but keep asking me to put the unit in another room which is sealed. No point as if it works in my house where there is not damp I would not need the unit. They say on their website not to seal air vents in a garage as it would cause condensation yet they keep emailing saying to seal it up for the unit to work properly. Would never buy from them again.

Delivery Cost

Was quoted £20 to send some filters to NI, when this is free elsewhere. £20 is acceptable when sending a machine but not for some filters. I contacted customer services regarding this but there was no flexibility shown or acceptance that the charge was excessive. This is an issue which should be reviewed by Meaco (regarding small items) as these items are part of the ongoing customer experience and use of the machines. I'm happy with my machine but think Meaco can really do better in this regard.

Using DPD as courier a VERY BAD IDEA! I was out when they delivered and instead of leaving the filter in a safe place they dropped it off to *their* collection point which was a petrol station two miles away in the next village! Even when my son took the card to collect they asked for a QR code (not everyone has a smart phone) and asked for ID to collect. Worse delivery experience ever :-( Free delivery not worth the time and hassle. Good company and good product let down by appalling courier.

When buying graded saves you nothing!

The graded dehumidifier was £10 cheaper than brand new, a very small amount. So, I was disappointed to find that Meaco do not send the graded unit out with a hepa filter which you get as standard with a brand new one. To buy filters from Meaco costs almost £10 each so I am mystified how buying a graded appliance from Meaco makes you any savings at all. If I had known this I would not have bought from Meaco direct.

Website states a free cover with every 1056 fan. What it does not say is this does not include the 1056p. I have contacted them to ask for a 1056 bag so that the fan will be protected from dust when not in use as the 1056 and 1056p have the same body dimensions. They will not send one. The fan was cheaper elsewhere I only purchased direct because of the offer of the free storage bag. Customer service is poor.

Thank you for your review and order. Our Customer Service Team has been in contact with you regarding your query. Your order was for a MeacoFan 1056P Pedestal fan. These units do not come with storage bags as there are none available for this model. It is noted on the website and each product page which fans have the free storage bags, and unfortunately the 1056P Pedestal fan is not one of these fans. We can only offer our apologies for any confusion that might have been caused.

19/12/23 update to review of 17/12/23 The response from Meaco was as expected. Not sure what I have refused or what has been offered to me!! The email from Rosemary certainly didn't offer anything. I would like a refund for this brand new faulty product, which hasn't worked from the day we received it on 1st November and has already been "repaired" by you once; the warranty is worthless!

Non existent customer service

Delivery driver did not attempt delivery and dropped the parcel off 25miles away. Multiple emails and phone call have not been responded too within a week. Very disappointed in Meaco customer service.

Abysmal customer service!

I ordered a remote control on the 9th of September and I am still waiting to receive it despite sending e mails regarding its whereabouts! Very poor service as I really needed it!

Fan arrived damaged and company told me to superglue it!

Ordered a fan which arrived damaged, reported it immediately and had to wait a few days for a response, their response was to superglue it! How it got through quality control is beyond me as the damaged part was incredibly loose.Tried to arrange an exchange with the collection of the damaged fan to happen on the same day as a new fan but a no from Meaco. The measly 10 refund will cover the glue.

Thank you for your review. Please note that the offer is always there to exchange the faulty product for a new one. The option of gluing the disc back on some customers have opted to do and we provide a refund for those that prefer this option. But the choice is always the customers, we will do either. Please contact us if you wish to discuss.

Vague and lacking proactivity

Ordered and paid for next day delivery. No delivery or despatch. Chased and given vague mcguffin of ‘data error’. Later got their generic email blather with yet no expectation of delivery beyond ‘as soon as possible’ and thanking me for my patience. I have no patience with incompetence. Demanded refund. Bless you paypal.
