I had a dehumidifier about 8 years ago that I had to quit using because it put out so much heat it negated air conditioning (which is not a good thing in the hot humid South.) I just bought a new mobile home and I knew I needed one so I thought I would give this a try. It does a great job and does not put out excessive Heat. I love all the options I have to. I highly recommend this. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
