We live in a humid, wet climate, in the hills where clothes don't dry and mould thrives. This product has been a god send, dries all the clothes, keeps the room dry, air is easy to breath, and love the filter function, actually all the functions have been super useful. Dehumidifying leaves the room hot, not great if you live in a hot climate, but easily remedied by putting the fan on for a while to move the air. Totally worth it!
