This dehumidifier is worth the price tag, look no further! It is extremely powerful, but quiet enough in our utility room to not be a nuisance. New England summers are tough in terms of home humidity, and this machine does its job and more. We do not have a hose hooked up for disposal, and I can say that the bucket is not difficult to remove/carry when filled. It is incredible how fast the bucket fills - speaking both to our humidity and the capabilities of this dehumidifier! Wi-Fi is also a nice feature to have. It is helpful to see when the bucket has filled on the app, and bluetooth connectivity was a breeze to setup. There are many adjustable operating settings on the Frigidaire app to achieve your personal level of comfort. Additionally, the material quality and design of the dehumidifier is sleek and would easily look nice in a busy home space, if required. We are very satisfied with our purchase - Thank you Frigidaire!
