The best reviews will happen a few years down the road to rate durability, but the first few weeks with this unit have been excellent. It is bringing the humidity down in a newly finished basement. For the first couple of weeks we emptied the tank each day, and it carries well for short distances if you need to do that. We purchased a 15 for hose and run it behind the scenes to a sump drain and that keeps it running as much as it needs to without attention.  Excellent build on the filter and easy to clean. Quiet, even at the high fan setting. For the price, the best unit out there after a good bit of research.
