This is my 4th dehumidifier, I am in Florida and humidity is high, this is adequate for my 2300 sf home, and it is not too loud, about the same as my last LG ultra quiet, the tank is very large and I need to change it about every 12 hours, the only thing is if you set the auto off to say 40F it will go off an on, it works, but the digital read out may say 38 or 42F even when it goes off or on, so in the beginning I thought it did not work, but it does as long as your not OCD about it shutting off exactly on the set temp. Based on the 4 I have owned prior, this is the best so far.
