I bought this dehumidifier (after I read a lot of reviews) about a month ago. I'm happy with it. I set the humidity level at 55 so it will keep the room at 45 to 50% humidity that I'm happy with. However, I haven't figure out a way not to spell the water on the floor yet when I dump the water out to a bucket. The sound is a lot lower than my old unit but it's still a little loud for me.
