The wifi works great - can monitor and change settings remotely over an internet connection after you connect it to your home wifi. I didn't even realize it had an ionizer, but it's extra nice to clean the air a bit. The stock air filter is like mosquito netting, but you can buy better quality filters from Frigidaire. And it dehumidifies fast - humidity down from 65% to 35% in an hour (small room), filled the tank half way in about 2 hours. It's sturdy/heavy but has rollers and an extending handle. Easy to empty the tank, haven't tried the drain port yet. It's definitely not quiet! But all you really hear is the wind from the fan, and a very low hum from the compressor when it's on. Too loud for a bedroom but fine for a hallway. I am so pleased with it!
