The price and performance are excellent. Compare this to a 60-pint unit from the big-name-brand dehumidifier company with April in its name, and you will see it is literally half price, or even a bit less. Add to that the fact that this one comes with everything you need to move the control panel to a remote location up to 30 feet away, and it is a great unit for the price. The other brands require you to buy extra kits to control it remotely. The dehu and case are almost entirely steel. There is very little plastic inside or out on this entire unit. The steel case is “heavy duty” and about 14 gauge, or about the thickness of stop sign/street sign metal. This is serious steel for an appliance, and makes the unit overall on the heavy side. The control panel and duct adapter are the very few components made of plastic. You can remove the control panel for remote installation, and there is a heavy gauge steel blanking plate to cover the hole when removed. The output (treated air) duct adapter is 7” round. The duct adapter is plastic and can accept any type of sheet-metal screws to attach a duct if desired. There is no duct adapter for the intake side. It is simply a large (removable) steel grill with a washable filter element under the grill. Although the seller’s ad says “125 pints per day” this is generally an overstatement. It would be better if the ad simply used the actual AHAM rating of 60 pints per day. AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) rating is measured at 60% humidity and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This is meant to be an “average” environment. You could only get 125 pints per day in a ridiculously hot and humid place like in a thatch hut in the amazon rain forest on a 110-degree hot day during a typhoon. 60 is probably all you will get in a US basement, even in the humid southeast, or river valleys in the south-central US. My favorite feature is the easy-to-relocate control panel. A 30-foot cable is included, along with instructions
