AIRPLUS Dehumidifier/4,500 Sq. Ft

Replaced a slightly older unit that stopped working. I let the new unit rest 24 hours before installing as advised. The new unit is about half the size and weight of the older unit but rated higher. This unit runs, I can see water drips at end of hose, but it is not even close in performance to the old unit. Basement is not huge nor exceptionally damp but this struggles to lower the humidity only a few percent. Along side the old unit, the new one looks and performs like a toy. It's not quiet, moisture removal seems minimal, it is easy to move because it's so small but I don't move a humidifier often, water bucket is very difficult to take off and doesn't fit properly and the whole unit appears flimsy at best. All things considered, the sale price on this unit didn't come close to value for the money.
