This unit's features are so good that they may make it hard to use other units. However, noise could be an issue for those who are sensitive to it. Personally, I find the noise to be just white noise and barely noticeable. Overall, the unit functions great.

This thing has been through 4 years of abuse and it still runs great. I've used it in my attached garage (2 &1/2 car) all year round to keep humidity and water out, dealing with vehicle ice melt/water in the winter as a big issue in Wisconsin. Originally, I had a propane ventless heater which created a lot of humidity in the garage in the winter, but this unit has consistently kept the vehicles and garage dry overnight after snow storms and water runoff. It has consistently run in temperatures ranging from the low 50s to 90s without any issues. I regularly do metal and wood work in the garage, so there are extra contaminants, but it hasn't affected the unit at all. Just a wash of the filter and it's good to go. I highly recommend this great unit.
