I purchased this machine after my dog had issues with fluid in her lungs. Despite medication from the vet, the problem persisted and there was a real fear she might not survive. After speaking with the vet, I decided to try reducing the humidity in our house to make the medication more effective. I bought a smaller machine initially, but eventually got this one as well. Together, they have lowered the humidity from 70% to 40% and have completely resolved my dog's health issues. I've even been able to reduce her medication. I wish I had done this sooner, as we lost a cat to the same problem earlier in the year. Apart from the story, the machine works really well. It's not too heavy, has easy controls, and the water is easy to change. It also has good visual and audio indicators for when the water needs changing. I have it in a small house with poor ventilation and it has made a huge difference. It's a bit oversized for the space, but it's working perfectly with minimal effort.

The dehumidifier arrived a day early, which was a pleasant surprise. However, I didn't receive any notification about its delivery. The product is advertised as a 30 pint system, but upon inspection, I found that the water containment bucket holds just over a gallon. I'll need to do more research to fully understand the system. The unit is quieter than my old one, but also smaller in size. For now, I'll give it a 4-star rating, as I still need to learn more about dehumidifiers. After re-reading the description, I now understand that it can remove up to 3.75 gallons of moisture in 24 hours, rather than the capacity of the tank. I realize that I may have misunderstood the product description before purchasing it.

This dehumidifier quickly and efficiently removes moisture, but it is too loud and also acts as a heater. In colder climates or in a basement, this may be a good thing, but in Southern California, it raises the ambient temperature by about 3-5 degrees after just half an hour of use. I wish I could dehumidify the air without increasing the temperature.

This unit was advertised as quiet but it is extremely loud! I had hoped to use it in my bedroom, but the noise level is just too much. It seems to be performing well otherwise. The display showed it was at 51% and 30 minutes later it had dropped to 37% on the continuous setting. Unfortunately, I will need to return it since it is too noisy for both my bedroom and living area where I wanted to watch a movie.

We recently purchased a dehumidifier due to the intense humidity in our bay front condo on the lower Gulf Coast. After trying other methods to control the humidity without success, we decided to give the dehumidifier a try. We let it sit for 24 hours before turning it on and setting it to 50% for our living room temperature. It was a bit noisier than we expected, but not so much that we wouldn't use it. The next morning, we found the machine had turned off and the bucket was full, but easy to empty. We turned it back on and by 2:00 p.m., the bucket was full again. We are impressed with the amount of water it collects and plan to use it for watering our deck plants. We are so pleased with its performance that we are considering purchasing a second one for our bedroom, which tends to have high humidity. We are satisfied with the size of the bucket, as it is manageable for us to lift when full. Overall, we are experiencing a much more comfortable living room thanks to the dehumidifier.

It has been working perfectly for me for years.

This new unit was purchased to replace our old one because the old unit was noisy and rattled. The main selling point for this unit was its advertised quietness. It is not completely silent, but the noise level is acceptable on the low fan setting. The water collection capacity is somewhat low, but it does have a window to monitor water levels and it is easy to remove and dump the collection container. However, like many other units, it is difficult to reinsert the container perfectly. Despite this, the unit has convenient handles, is lightweight, and relatively quiet.

This unit has never been silent and it's getting noisier over time. It does remove humidity from the air, but there are several small issues that bother me. Overall, it gets the job done.
