I have had this dehumidifier for a couple weeks and it far surpasses the moisture removal effectiveness of the older unit (by another manufacturer) that it replaced.  I use it in a 1,500 sq. ft. finished basement and it easily keeps the humidity at 40 to 45%.  The bucket fills almost daily so I have added a garden hose instead. The only drawback is the app which works fine but lacks features other than basic controls; but it is better than no remote control at all.
