I purchased this model to replace a 50 pint Frigidaire that stopped working. So far it seems to be noticeable slower at removing humidity as compared to the 50 pint Frigidaire. The Frigidaire was significantly larger and a bit louder but seemed stronger than the higher pint Waykar.
This unit is so small compared to my old 50 pint. I attached a drain hose, plugged it in and found the controls easy understand. The basement had been without a dehimidifier for some time and was at 74% humidity. I left the dehumidifier on low fan speed set at 50%. I basically "set it and forget it" so it ran a good while before reaching 50%. Now the dehumidifier is normally cycling. I don't even hear it when it's running if I'm in the next room. This is quite heavy for the size and fells solidly built. I like that this is backed by a 2 year warranty too. Definitely a true value
