Nice dehumidifier, I call him Dave
First of all, I live in a walkout basement apartment. There is moisture. It being winter, not as much as there will be 6 months from now, but there is moisture. So I need a dehumidifier.
The unit comes in a cheeky box, with plenty of dry anthropomorphized statements about how to take care if the dehumidifier. Just the type of humor I like. Upon opening the box, I came across its manual. The manual declares itself to be a manual. I laughed out loud at that.
On to the unit itself. Its is packaged nicely and is not overly complicated. I was able to set it up quickly and had it turned on in 5 minutes. (Yes I did what the box asked and let it "rest" for 24 hours since it had been out in the cold from delivery. I let the unit run continuously for a few hours and there was a noticeable difference in the humidity and there was quite a bit if water in the tank. Now it's a comfort setting which measures the humidity and turns on when needed.
Seems to be a well made device. I'll update this review next summer when I typically have steamy windows from the AC.
