Have gained for a comfortably furnished room in the basement dehumidifier me this. The bedding was damp and musty smell there. After 14 days, about 40 liters of water have been removed from this area. The humidity dropped to 40%. It no longer smells and the bed is dry. I have measured the power consumption and there were 20 kWh consumed (5). I must say that the dehumidifier was in continuous operation. However, the drip tray sums less water than specified. Also this dehumidifier is quite loud and can be operated only in the absence of the space. Now I let him just walk in demand (LF more than 60%). This can significantly reduce power consumption. Since this dehumidifier does not shutdown when reaching a certain humidity, the container to collect the water is less than specified, and there due to the increased noise a star deduction. However, due to the high performance and the very low price definitely a worth buying.
