Unit is installed in a basement with a floor drain, setting on a table and shimmed to level. It replaces a Toshiba unit, which was installed in 2013 to replace a unit that was part of the Gree recall. I hope this TCL unit lasts that long! The ambient temperature is around 55 deg F, so defrost cycles are used. Seems to defrost more often than the the Toshiba did, but could be different refrigerant and a cooler collector. It does appear that the defrost phase (compressor off and fan at max) lasts longer than necessary. The visible frost is gone in about 30 seconds but the defrost phase runs for about 8 minutes, during which time the relative humidity increases by about 4%. The compressor runs for about 10 minutes (fan speed at low) or 12 min (fan at med) between defrosts. I didn't time it with fan at high because the change in fan speed is what I was using to find the ends of the defrost phase. The compressor is pretty quiet. I think if the defrost phase were shortened the unit would be able to get the RH down to the setpoint of 60%. The displayed RH is running from around 62% to 66%. At 55 deg F, it's discharging about 13 pts/day. Display is very easy to read, even at an angle. I'm quite content with the controls but I have no use for the WIFI feature. Had Best Buy offered the version without it I'd have saved a few bucks.

Arrived safely. Working well, so far. No leakes. Needs to be emptied every day.

These seems silly to say, but I love this dehumidifier! The smart settings are awesome and it does a fantastic job in our large basement which has a concrete floor.

Great for bathroom. Keeps the humidity down - especially in a humid area.

Do not buy this piece of trash. Stopped working after 6 months. Customer support is also trash. Garbage stay away
