This dehumidifier is perfect for use in my bathroom. It was ready-to-use right out of the box. It is very quiet on the lowest setting. I like that it has the automatic shut-off feature for 4 or 8 hours and that it turns off once it is full. The only suggestion for improvement would be to make a slightly longer cord since my bathroom only has one outlet - so placement in the room is limited. I would recommend purchasing this if you are looking for a small dehumidifier.
