Pro Breeze 20L OmniDry WiFi Dehumidifier Review

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 rate, similar sub-38dB noise level, and full smart app control, at a noticeably lower price 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.

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 auto 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.
