68% liked the energy-efficient design, although 32% desired more
The dehumidifier has been running daily for two months and works great in keeping our house dry in a high-humidity area.

I am looking for ways to maintain the impeller besides the filter.
I would like to see a lower humidity level of 35% and wait for it to cool down. This suggests that the dehumidifier needs maintenance and a filter change.
71% appreciated the humidity control, yet 29% found them complex
I brought down the humidity level from 60 to 50 by running the dehumidifier on high all the time.
This dehumidifier is a workhorse, running well and keeping humidity below 40%. It has wifi capabilities and shuts off on smart setting.
I need notifications to be sent when the tank is full, but the dehumidifier has a problem with notifications. It automatically logs me out from time to time and notification stop working.
72% appreciated the quiet operation, but 28% found it loud
I have used a 15-year-old dehumidifier which is very noisy. However, this dehumidifier is very quiet and can barely be heard running, as mentioned by the reviewer.
On the low fan setting, the dehumidifier is a bit loud.
I do not like the color of the dehumidifier and wish it came in white.
67% praised the large tank capacity, while 33% found it small
I bought the unit because I didn't want to constantly empty the water tank, as it had a pump.
