Using in damp unfinished basement. Been in use about three weeks. Was using LG 35 pint humidifier, replaced with this unit. Single setting results in 15 point spread in RH on a daily basis. No way to set to a specfic RH. With this more powerful unit, expected it to run less to maintain RH. This unit runs as much a cheaper unit, if not more. LG unit was $200, had RH set for auto operation, and energy star certified. At this point I'm disappointed in this unit's performance based on the price I paid for it (over [$]).

We are remodeling an Alaska WWII Army bunker and use the dehumdifier in the shop area. It works great at higher room temperatures. Currently we are keeping the day time temperature about 62 degrees F. The scale in the owner's manual doesn't even go that low of temperature. The dehumidifier seems to work better if we have it warmer than that.
