The dryer runs relatively quietly - in the next room you can hear nothing. My 18m² large basement room with 80% rel. Moisture dries in 4 hours to 40% rel. Humidity down. (A professional device dries in the same time the same room at 30% RH -. But unfortunately at a multiple of noise and power consumption). Excellent drying performance - For small water damage in the basement and the house offers a perfect and sufficient. The measured power consumption is less than 500W. German product - German manual with spare parts list - spare parts in Remko.de ordered. So absolutely my recommendation.
