The pick in this pair
MeacoDry Arete One 20L
Compressor + HEPA · 20 L (manufacturer claim; 20 L at 30 °C / 80 % RH)
Meaco’s 20 L table is the reason this is the whole-home pick. At 20 °C / 80 % RH the official take is 14.02 L/day — a more useful British-house row than the 30 °C headline. At 20 °C / 50 % RH the accompanying German-language table reads 5.78 L/day. The body is a larger Arete at 618 × 366 × 272 mm and 15 kg. The tank holds 4.8 litres, and published noise is 38–40 dB(A).

Pro Breeze 20L
Compressor · 20 L (manufacturer claim)
A 20 L compressor sold as the damp-house and indoor-washing machine. The tank holds 5.5 litres, and there is a one-button laundry mode. The 20 L headline is still a laboratory maximum. Versus Meaco’s 20 L, the practical differences are the larger tank, the included hose, the softer price band, and a noisier, less documented spec sheet.
- Tank
- 5.5 litres
- Noise
- Around 42 dB(A) on several UK reviews of the spec sheet; laundry mode is the louder setting
- Operating range
- 5–32 °C on typical listings
- Warranty
- Commonly a three-year protection plan on Pro Breeze 20 L listings

On the published sheet
Arete One 20 L is the whole-home pick in this pair. Published noise is 38–40 dB(A). At 20 °C / 80 % RH Meaco’s table is 14.02 L/day. HEPA and five years complete the living-space case. Pro Breeze 20 L is the laundry-room pick: a 5.5 L tank, hose included, dedicated laundry mode, and less documentation. Put the Meaco in living space. Put the Pro Breeze next to the airer if that is the only job and the price gap matters.
A 20 L badge on either machine is still a 30 °C / 80 % RH sort of number. In a 10 °C room both compressors will look small, and the EcoAir DD1 or DD3 becomes the relevant comparison. In a heated house, choose by where the machine will stand: sitting room (Meaco) or drying room (Pro Breeze), not by which box prints the bigger litre.
