With the wild fires in California, I have my windows closed most of the times and the humidity in the house became unbearable. The dehumidifier from Frigidaire has been a lifesaver. After using this machine, the air inside has been more comfortable and I can maintain the humidity around 45-50%. It feels cooler inside also. This machine is quieter than the other brand I tried. I am very happy with this purchase! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
