dries the air
I've been using this for several hours every day for three weeks now. I use this in different bedrooms or living rooms in my apartment.
Humidity in these rooms typically starts around 50-60% Within an hour of turning on the DP1-30E-30 on medium, the humidity is down to about 40% Within two hours it's down to 35% . From there humidity hovers between 30% to 35% as long as the unit remains on. I'm using an external humidity gauge to confirm the actual humidity. The DP1-30E-30 digital gauge and the external gauge agree.
If you unplug and then replug the unit, it remembers it's previous plugged settings. This means you can plug it to a daily timer which is very convenient.
The lowest fan setting is not quiet enough for sleeping. The lowest fan setting on the DP1-30E-30 is about the same noise as the highest fan setting of a typical plastic fan.
It's a large object to move around. However, it's wheels work fine on linoleum and carpet.
The intake...
Noisy
I purchased this to replace the recalled model from the same manufacturer. That one was so quiet that you had to go right next to it to know it is running. Not so for this one. Even on low it is very loud and periodically goes into a defrost cycle during which the fan shifts to high for several minutes which makes it even louder. The only saving grace is that the unit will automatically restart after loss of power which means it can be put on a timer to shut it down when you are trying to sleep or do something else that needs quiet.
Dry Basement
Works well. No problems attaching short garden hose and have it continuously drain, running 24/7 with no human intervention.
This is my second one as the first was recalled - did have any problems with that one either but I guess other people did.
