After three weeks of straight rain in Northern California, my little house was saturated. I bought this dehumidifier to dry out everything before a mold situation set in. I've only had it two days but so far am very pleased. The rugs, windows and bathroom at the back of my house is finally dry.A few observations: In Turbo Fan mode it is a little louder than expected but as other reviewers commented is not much different than a box fan. The exhaust/air flow is pretty cold, and it did make the past two nights feel extra wintery. It was slightly larger than expected, but is easily transported so I can put it away when not in use. The controls are easy to use, and the collection basin is easy to remove and empty (I didn't get the hose attachment).
