I would like to start from the beginning, dehumidifier is very well packaged and only one small strip of plastic covering the power cord. If you are not one to read the manual prior to setting up this uniquely styled unit please do so for there is a really heart warming story about Charlie on the 1st page.. Now lets talk about this incredible dehumidifier. Once reading the manual, plugging in the unit and setting desired settings I left the house for maybe an hour. Once I returned the difference in temperature felt like the AC was dropped however thermostat read the same setting. Running AC cost a fortune, no longer the need to adjust the thermostat. Recommend not setting the unit near your thermostat because blows out tad bit warmer air so relocated my unit in a spare room. The 8500 sq ft dehumidifier weighs 55 pounds, 2' 3" in height, 15" & 3/4" in width & 12 1/2" in depth. Rolls nicely with the attached 4 canister wheels. 3 prong (115 V) cord 5' & 2" in length. 125 pint bucket removes & replaces with ease, touch button controls (refer to photo's) safety lock if smaller children reside in your home. Noise level is 95% hearing the fan, barely hear the motor. External hose is also an option for continuous draining I could not be more pleased to have a product that is saving me money, performance is as promised inspired by a student at a University~Simply Beautiful!
