We bought two of these dehumidifiers because we live in a climate that has hot, humid summers. We thought we could save on air conditioning if we dehumidified the house because we can tolerate higher temperatures when the humidity is lower. However, these units generate so much heat it's like running a space heater and I keep turning them off because the house gets too hot from the heat generated by the dehumidifers. They also use a lot of electricity, so we didn't save any money by using them
Having said that, I need to give it credit for doing a good job of getting the humidity out of the air quickly. But, because of the heat they put into the house and the amount of electricity they use, they are not worth what we paid for them.
