Great little dehumidifier. Works well for our small, crowded basement so far; will be really tested in summer when it gets super damp. The reason I gave it only 4 stars is because it seems loud to me— it grumbles and clatters like a cheap hotel refrigerator— I’m guessing its compressor is very similar in quality to a cheap mini fridge. I’ve had it for a couple months and don’t run it all the time, so not sure how long it will last of course. It does the job I needed it to do, but because our house is open through all 3 floors I turn it off at night so the sound doesn’t bother me in the night! I am highly sensitive to sounds— my husband is not and it doesn’t bother him in the least.
