Danby DDR7009REE 70-pint Portable Dehumidifier

After two weeks operation, the unit works great, as quiet a dehumidifier as I have had (though no effective dehumidifier can be truly called "quiet") with +-5% of the desired humidity so it is has a pretty long on / off cycle. For some reason the fan, which does emit some noise, runs continuously, but. Temperature elevation in teh space being dehumidfied in a mere 3 degrees. Best of all is the high energy efficiency -- 1.8,virtually as good as you can get for a non-commercial unit (which would cost three times as much). I spent probably 20 hours researching the best unit -- low electricity use, as quiet as possible, dependable and under $300. I am pretty sure I found it. If you want to compare energy efficiencies, EPA has a regularly updated spreadsheet for current models, but be warned that it is not always accurate -- make sure to double check the manufacture and any available reviews.
