In stockPro Breeze 20L OmniDry WiFi Dehumidifier Review
Pro Breeze's 20L OmniDry is the model that keeps winning **Which? Best Buy** awards, and it's the dehumidifier we'd point budget-conscious buyers to who still want a full-size 20L compressor unit rather than a small room unit.
Our verdict: The best value 20L dehumidifier for drying laundry and general damp control — a genuine Which? Best Buy winner that undercuts the Meaco Arete Two on price without giving up much capability.
Pros
- ✓ Which? Best Buy award winner, independently tested and rated one of the best on the market
- ✓ Larger 4L tank than the Meaco Arete One means less frequent emptying
- ✓ Wheels included for moving between rooms — a genuinely compact footprint for a 20L compressor
- ✓ Free smart app with Alexa/Google Home voice control
- ✓ Noticeably cheaper than the Meaco Arete Two 20L for the same daily capacity
Cons
- ✕ Only a 1-year standard warranty versus Meaco's 5 years
- ✕ Some owners report the auto shut-off doesn't always stop precisely at the target humidity
- ✕ Water tank has no carry handle, which makes emptying slightly more awkward than on the Meaco

About Pro Breeze
Pro Breeze has sold over 500,000 dehumidifiers and air-treatment products in the UK, and the OmniDry range is its flagship smart line. Where it competes hardest with Meaco is on price-to-capacity: the same 20-litres-a-day extraction, similar sub-38dB noise levels, and full smart app control, at roughly £110 less than the Meaco Arete Two.
The trade-off is warranty length (1 year standard versus Meaco's 5) and build reputation — Meaco has the longer track record among UK reviewers for long-term reliability, while Pro Breeze wins on upfront value.
How to use it
For drying laundry, the OmniDry's laundry mode works the same way as Meaco's: position it next to your airer, close the door to the room, and let it run. Owners consistently report drying times of 4-6 hours for a full load, in line with Meaco's larger unit.
For general humidity control, set your target between 30-80% via the digital display or app — the unit will run in Auto mode and shut off once it reaches target, though a minority of reviewers note it can slightly overshoot before stopping.
The unit's wheels and relatively compact 44.5cm height make it easier to shift between a downstairs utility room and an upstairs bedroom than most 20L units, which is worth factoring in if you only own one dehumidifier for a whole house.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Pro Breeze 20L OmniDry as good as the Meaco Arete Two?+
For raw drying and dehumidifying performance, they're very close — both extract 20L/day and run under 38dB. The main differences are warranty length (Meaco's 5 years vs Pro Breeze's 1 year) and price (Pro Breeze is around £110 cheaper).
What does the Which? Best Buy award mean?+
Which? is the UK's leading independent consumer testing organisation. A Best Buy award means the product was tested against competitors on extraction rate, noise, energy use and ease of use, and came out ahead — it's one of the more trustworthy UK-specific endorsements a dehumidifier can carry.
How big is the water tank?+
4 litres, which is larger than the Meaco Arete One's 2.5L tank, meaning less frequent emptying when running hard in a damp room.
Does it work with Alexa?+
Yes, via the free Pro Breeze app, which supports both Amazon Alexa and Google Home voice control alongside manual app control.
Should you buy it?
Buy the Pro Breeze 20L OmniDry if you want Which?-endorsed 20L performance at a lower price than Meaco, and don't mind a shorter 1-year warranty. If long-term reliability and a 5-year warranty matter more to you than upfront cost, the Meaco Arete Two 20L is worth the extra spend.
