This Dehumidifier had a big job to do in an open area kitchen and living room.  I am totally thrilled with its performance and ease of operation.  The 22 pint capacity reservoir is not too heavy when full to lift and empty with my arthritic hand and wrist.  It easily takes over the job of my window ac unit with built in dehumidifier.  There's no comparison as to which unit it getting that job done !!  Hopefully, some day, I can get another of these for the upstairs section of my house.
