First surprise when unpacking was the presence of a German hand instructions. Very detailed and - actually unnecessary - printed on glossy paper. The English also was.
Second surprise: how unexpectedly quiet the machine is. After a few meetings here, I had already been set for rumble, clatter, and the like. But the noise is barely above a cooling unit.
Third surprise then, and the largest: the effectiveness. The unit started immediately - ie without the mentioned in some comments and also the instructions for delay. Within two hours, the vessel had already half-filled and also mitgekaufte hygrometer displays several percent less high humidity.
I let the machine the first two days to go through 'continuous operation'. On the third day I did it using the rotary switch runtergeregelt to me agreeable humidity level and since then it jumps only now and then on. From repeated emptying the container per day now is once per day. Also, I think will be subject to change.
That was to feel after the first few hours of a significant improvement of the 'Gemüffels', is almost the icing. I can only say one word, I am absolutely delighted! From a machine that does simply what had been promised when purchasing.
