Have only had the Danby dehumidifier DDR040EBWDB for a few days but so far so good. Makes a buzzy noise so it is not as quiet as hoped for and the included discharge hose is too short ( about 6 feet ) to be of much use. Also, the bucket capacity is on the small side ( about 9 litres or 19 US pints ). Otherwise, operates fine and looks OK. I'm using this product to control basement humidity.
