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.

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.

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

Thank you for your feedback, and it is great to hear that you have enjoyed your previous Meaco units. It's disappointing to hear about the packaging and courier difficulties you experienced. Regarding the recurring smell, please note dehumidifiers themselves don't create an odour as such, it would have been interesting to learn more about your use and any other factors. However, as this has persisted with the replacement/return, please continue to contact our team if you need so we can support you.

Meaco have admitted that some of their dehumidifier models with a 2 year guarantee will only last 2-4 years, meaning they are likely to break just outside warranty!

Be aware that the warranty period is different across models. Our dehumidifier, which we paid around £150 for, had a 2 year warranty and broke just outside this period. It had a fault with the screen which seems to be a very common problem with the units. Out of warranty there is a cost of £70 plus £10 for a box to get the unit repaired but this is not guaranteed. This cost is extortionate relative to the price of the product.

The Consumer Rights Act states that products must be be satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. Under this law electrical goods need to last a reasonable length of time, which in England and Wales is 6 years. On pointing this out to Meaco they responded to state that "For a domestic dehumidifier in this price range, a lifespan of around 2–4 years would generally be considered reasonable."

No wonder the warranty period for this particular unit is only two years! A 2-4 years lifespan for the product is absolutely not reasonable and completely ignores the 6 years set out by the Consumer Rights Act.

My partner has taken the unit apart and diagnosed the issue, however Meaco do not sell any spare parts (which in itself is unlawful where parts are not regulated as it prevents right to repair) so we are having to source a new display screen from elsewhere (which incidentally only costs a couple of pounds) and hope this works.

What a waste of money, plastic and resources if we are unable to repair it ourselves. It is ironic that Meaco keep sending marketing emails saying how the company is sustainable. If they were actually sustainable they would sell parts and/or provide lifetime warranties.

Reply from Meaco (U.K.) Limited

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the warranty and the lifespan of your unit. While we understand the frustration when a product fails outside of the warranty period, it is important to clarify that our warranty is a guarantee of free repair or replacement within a specific timeframe, rather than a limit on the product's actual life expectancy. Many of our customers continue to use units with a two-year warranty for six years and beyond.

Regarding the repair, we must highlight that opening a dehumidifier is hazardous for anyone other than a qualified engineer. Dehumidifiers can contain refrigerants and complex electrical components that pose a significant risk of injury or fire if handled incorrectly. This safety concern is the primary reason we do not sell internal spare parts for self-repair.

We prioritise the safety of our customers and the proper environmental handling of the gases within the machines through our dedicated repair service.

Outstanding

We have been using Meaco products for over 3 years. They are excellent. We have two different sized Arete dehumidifiers and an aircon unit.
The units are very effective at keeping our house and laundry dry. The other stand out is the gold standard customer service and warranty . If there is an issue within 5 years they just collect it, fix it and send it back. Most companies delay or try to wriggle out of warranty obligations asking for x y z documentation or saying it is not covered because of : reason a b or c. So refreshing to find a company that is trustworthy. Meaco are like John Lewis used to be in the last century. We wouldn't buy any other brand of de humidifier.

Best company I have ever dealt with regarding fault repair

Meaco are without doubt the best company I have ever dealt with with regard to fault repair! My original email reporting a fault on my dehumidifier was sent 26th March and now today, only one week on, Meaco have fixed and returned it in full working order, with a 2 yr guarantee on work undertaken.
Communication throughout has been superb, having received emails at every stage to keep me in the loop.
I would have no hesitation in buying from Meaco in the future and would highly recommend to others. Many thanks to all staff involved.
