The unit has a lot of features, including 3 ways to handle water removal (bucket, hose, or pump), and a variable humidity level option dependent upon the room temperature.  I've only had it in operation for a week, but it is very effective at reducing humidity.  It generates a lot of water, and measurably has reduced the humidity in the room, as verified by my own humidity meter (the unit itself measures the humidity too).  It is pretty quiet, and was recommended for being one of the better electrical efficiency models.

On the negative side, the instruction manual needs more diagrams to show how to hook up the drain hose and the pump hose options.
