The Delonghi dehumidifiers are solid, quirt and do a good job. Also the read outs are handy because you can measure the current humidity level and also set the machine so it switches off once the himidity gets down to the required level. My only complaint is that the hose outlet came off and is not in solidly so if we leave it on when we go out, we need to keep it in the sink or the bath or risk flooding. Otherwise its as good a unit as you will find.
