This was a warranty replacement.  Can't say enough about Fridigaire with regard to that process.  The unit is quieter than the previous one.  The fan is on the top instead of the side which I like better.  It previously blew on plants... The top isn't as nice looking as the previous one however.  The black (white would be much better) plastic is not attractive and it looks cheap.  Here in Texas, a dehumidifier is a must!  It makes the house more comfortable.
