Replacement hepa filters are a con and a way to extort more money

We’ve had the Arete 12L for about a week now; our previous Ecoair having given up after about 15 years of good service. Can I say, delivery was exceptionally fast, thank you, it arrived the next day. Wow. So far, so good. Like: The led display showing the current %rh although I might be becoming slightly obsessed… It’s as quiet (or noisy) as our previous dehumidifier. We’re glass half-full people. I have slept with it in my bedroom once and it didn’t keep me awake as it’s a low hum…white noise? You can turn the lights off so no glow at night. It’s on castors so it’s easy to roll on hard floors. It’s not a tall thing so even with the handle up you’d not want to be wheeling it very far. The on-board cord storage. Hurrah! We do tend to run it in specific rooms rather than leave it running 24/7 as at the first sight or dry weather we open the windows. So far, so good at extracting litres of water pretty quickly. My only negative comment is the weight of it, it’s heavy ish for me…it won’t be for others so this a purely personal comment. If you’re planning to leave it on in one place, then not a problem. Oh, and the castors are hidden in the water tank…it took us a few minutes to work out ‘bucket’ is the water tank and then prise the lid off 😂
