It has an air filter, which many dehumidifiers don't, which means it won't lose efficiency over time as dust collects in the condenser coils.

Wood Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:55:48 +0000 http://validatedgreen.com/?p=30#comment-62 I ordered this product because I was having dampness issues in my garage. I bought this one because it was well-reviewed, in my price range, and relatively small. <br /> <br />I've been using it continuously for many months, and it has performed flawlessly. I use the humidity-based option, which allows me to make sure my garage is never too damp while at the same time not running the dehumidifier constantly - it runs only when it needs to, and it seems to keep it in the humidity range that I specify. <br /> <br />One of my favorite features (having owned a few dehumidifiers) is that the dehumidifier can be transformed to use with a hose (so you don't need to keep emptying it) and back to using the built-in bucket by simply removing and replacing a plug. Many dehumidifiers force you to drill holes or otherwise permanently alter the product to use it with a hose, and this one makes it a trivial and quick change (both ways). <br /> <br />Energy use seems to be minimal for a dehumidifier (they all suck a lot of energy, but this one seems relatively miserly). I recommend it without reservation. Rating: 5 / 5 I ordered this product because I was having dampness issues in my garage.
