This dehumidifier is being used in our finished basement. It does a good job of pulling the humidity out of the air and keeping it dry. We don’t have a drain in the area handy for it to drain into so we just make sure to empty the tank every day with no issues. It’s fairy quiet when it’s running as well, unlike our old dehumidifier that was replaced with that one. Gets rid of the musty smell that you get in a basement during the summer months. Definitely recommend.
