Why this verdict?
It removes more water than the Arete One 20L and adds app control and a louvre to aim air at washing. In an average home that extra capacity goes unused, so it's only worth it for big or very damp houses.
Known problems owners report
- Bulky to move between floors.
- App setup can take a couple of tries.
