I was very skeptical in purchasing a dehumidifier of this size (the previous ones were really large and noisy) because the previous ones, although functional, were very uncomfortable, the full container to empty was really heavy. This little one ?? dehumidifies well, it doesn't take up much space and above all it is can be positioned anywhere, I always keep it on, it consumes the right amount of fuel and makes no noise except for a very small buzz, less perceptible than a fly... I practice emptying it, because the part connected to the current must not even be removed... the I empty the tray every 3/4 days without effort... I'm very satisfied??
