I bought  the dehumidifier a few weeks ago and it has done wonders for my basement. I figured I need a dehumidifier when my work clothes started feeling damp and mold was growing on some of my clothes I have in a tote. For the first day I turn on the dehumidifier on medium in the first 3 hours the bin was half way full. I was amazed and I kept it on medium fan for about a week until the bin began to take a longer time to fill so I turned it down on low. I love this product and I am going to buy two more for the other garage and the second story floor when I have more money...
