What We Liked
- It is light and portable: Weighing only about 36 pounds, it is very light and simple to move about in your room
- Once the desired humidity level is reached, it turns itself off automatically (both the fans and the condenser) and saves your energy instead of running all the time and wasting it. This helps to save your bills and generates no heat in the area since the fans are switched off too.
- It helps to reduce very high temperatures and because of the De-icing mechanism which allows no ice built around its coils, it may be used when the temperature is low.
What We Didn't Like
- It is only recommended for small areas of about 3,000 square feet for optimum efficiency. A larger area may require a larger dehumidifier.
