Let me start with the infoMy Basement is about 1500 Square ft with about 7ft Ceiling, Not really a place to do much but it's a great storage place and enough space to put a small wood shop in.Concrete Slab with Cinder block walls and the propensity to start leaking when a heavy monsoon like thunder storm hits.Buy yourself a dedicated wet dry vac and put what you love on top of Dunnage racks (Plastic or Aluminum). Trust me on this.I have had 2 previous units and I seem to get about 4 years of use out of them running 24x7 365The first 2 units were labeled Frigidaire but are made by Electrolux.Oldest Model 1 FDL50S1 50pints a dayJust died Model 2 FAD704DWD12 70 pints a dayDuring the summer months it's very humid where I live so the units for some reason tend not to use the hose where I have it drain to a sump pump, it just fills up the bucket. Annoying to say the least because I have to take that water and throw it out so the dehumidifier can start doing it's job again due to the bucket is full and it turns off the unit.It would take my previous units about 12 to 15 hours to fill up their internal buckets.This unit averages about 6 hours and the bucket is full. WOW this sucker really gets the job done.So I am emptying the bucket twice a day. Once in the morning and once again before I go to bed or sooner because I am not thinking about the dehumidifier. I've had this unit for just over a month now and so far so good. So it will be interesting as time marches on will it be just as efficient in filling up it's bucket in about 6 hours and or continue to run for the next 4 years.So far I am happy with it, it's doing what it's supposed to, it's more quiet than my previous units but then I don't spend much time in my dungeon err I mean basement unless I am building something and it just sounds like a fan running.
