I reside in Houston in a 700 sq ft studio apartment. The humidity typically hovers around 54 percent, even when the unit is running on turbo mode 24/7. It has never gone below 50 percent, which is slightly disappointing as I was hoping to maintain the humidity in the 45-50 percent range to combat dust mites and fleas. I had hoped that the 1500 sq ft capacity would have achieved this.

This item functions well but is loud. I initially placed it in my bedroom, hoping to acclimate to the noise as white noise, but that did not happen. It would be well-suited for a closet or a smaller bedroom. It effectively removes moisture from the air, but the water container is small, so unless you purchase the hose attachment, you will need to empty it frequently.

I bought this dehumidifier to reduce the humidity in our basement storage room, which was causing mold and mildew. It quickly brought the humidity level down from 70% to 50% and the room feels and smells better. I connected it to our furnace water pump with a hose, but it's important to have an electrical plug nearby as it cannot be used with an extension cord. I had to have an electrician add another plug to be safe. Overall, I recommend this product based on the first three weeks of use, but be sure to buy a drain hose as it doesn't come with one.

This dehumidifier was purchased for a 600 sq. ft. partially finished basement in a high humidity environment in Central Arkansas. It works, but not as effectively as desired. It fills up about twice a day when the temperature is 70 degrees or higher, and less frequently when the temperature drops below 60 degrees. It is suitable for smaller areas but not as effective for larger spaces. The design is sleek, with 4 wheels for easy maneuverability. It is somewhat noisy but not excessively so. The reservoir is small, but there is a hose hookup option available to avoid frequent emptying.

The dehumidifier I purchased for my basement based on the square footage claim does not effectively keep a 600 sq. foot area dry. It is too small and undersized. I may need to purchase another one of the same size or upgrade to a larger one. It is quiet and easy to move around, but that is the extent of my satisfaction. With the hose attached, it never shuts off, and without the hose, we have to empty it three times a day. Overall, it's a good product, but the size claims should be approached with caution.

This dehumidifier is very effective at pulling moisture out of the air quickly, which is why I purchased it. However, the water tank is surprisingly small and needs to be emptied every day in August in the North Woods of Minnesota or it will automatically shut off. Our old dehumidifier had a larger tank. I should hook up a hose to drain the tank directly into the floor drain to avoid having to empty it every day. It is quiet, but that may be because it is located in the basement and not in our bedroom.

This dehumidifier effectively reduces humidity in a bedroom that is used often and adjacent to a shower. The bedroom is not closed off for ventilation. It was purchased due to an extended period of unusual humidity in San Diego. It is not very loud and could be more energy efficient. It is easily maneuverable but somewhat heavy, and the water reservoir is large. The water collection rate varies based on humidity and temperature. The hose attachment has not been used, and the collected water is reused for plants.

I purchased a dehumidifier for my apartment. It works well and what I particularly like is that it doesn't emit too much heat. I have added a picture for handy people with an idea of how to use the dehumidifier when you don't have a drainage available. The holes in the table are for the dehumidifier's wheels to prevent it from rolling off. Due to its noise, I keep it in the corridor a few feet from my bedroom with the dry air blowing through the open door. I make sure to empty the 5-gallon bottle every day because with high humidity, it produces about 3-4 gallons of water daily. Additionally, I use this water for watering houseplants to reduce the acidity of the soil.
