We leave this running on the smart setting to keep our basement dry. It is very energy-efficient and doesn't seem to draw too much power even with constant use.
Our basement always had a bit of a musty odor. We've had this running for about two days and it has definitely cleared that up. Air feels noticeably drier.
Good unit. Not too loud or heavy. Got to buy your own hose, the 3 foot hose is too short and sweats when its humid, defeating the purpose of a dehumidifier. Got to use the hose because the tank is sooooooo small. Depending on your situation, you will be constantly emptying it. However, it is keeping my garage dry!
