As far as taking water out of the air, this unit does fine. I have had problems with the humidistat/control panel since purchasing this unit. I have called customer service 3 times and each time they have sent me a new control panel. Once installed, the unit works fine for like 1 day and then the same problem happens again! Sooooo frustrating! The problem is, the fan runs constantly. It is supposed to shut off when the air reaches the humidity set, but the unit will not shut off! I have had this unit for a few months. I with I had returned it when I had the chance. Today I placed an order for a Frigidaire model that I hope will be better.

I've had this dehumidifier for well over a year, maybe two. I usually have to empty morning and night, depending on the humidity. I use the outlet that blows hot air to dry clothes hung on a rack. It looks good to use in my office, and it is very effective. I would definitely buy another and am seriously considering it, since I need one in two different parts of my building. It does have wheels, which makes moving it much easier.

This product drains water like you would not believe. I live in the South San Francisco area which is not that humid but I have to empty the container 4 times a day.

Only complain is when Amazon.com sent me the product the product box was damage, lucky the goods where ok.

We used this in the lower level of a split level home. It got pretty damp at times and this worked very well. I think it's an excellent untit and would recommend it.

I purchased this dehumidifier over two months ago and it has not worked at all. Customer service has told me more than once that my replacement 'humidistat' would be delivered in two weeks. I am still waiting, it has been eight weeks.
My advice would be to do business with another company or find another product elsewhere.
