I often feel it's very early to review such purchases. But given I have a comparison to make [replacing the ridiculously noisy* Meaco 12L Low Energy Platinum Dehumidifier] immediately, I'll throw in my initial thoughts.*Now 3+ years old and seemingly rattled itself to deaf [pun intended]!Happily, the first thing I notice is the relatively blissful silent running. Of course, no condenser is actually Silent [despite the setting's name!], but it's considerably quieter than the Meaco - which even at its peak performance conspicuously lurched into life when it went from fan-->condenser and caused notable vibration through the floor to the room's below.So, noise overall? Silent is pretty quiet. Even sitting right next to it [on the computer now] the whirl is okay - and in the bedroom 15ft away it's barely noticeable, with no vibration through the floor either [perhaps due to the castors lifting it from the floor?]. Medium setting picks up the noise level - but it's all fan noise rather than any motor/vibration. Similarly, Turbo gets pretty lively, but it's all fan noise again. And the fact that you can choose the settings makes all the difference ... sitting next to the unit/at night, flick it to Silent and all good. [In the living room you could always hear the Meaco running, when the Inventor is on Silent you can't.]At all settings moisture extraction is exceptional. Again, finding moisture the tired Meaco is no longer removing, perhaps? Setting relative humidity manually to 55%, the Meaco would often fall silent, seemingly satiated. So far, the Inventor has rarely turned itself of at 55% setting - continually extracting moisture from the air. [Note: this might be down to setting the fan speed on Silent/Low the majority of the time, of course.]One minor niggle, so far. Heat bioproduct. It might only be marginal, but it can noticeably affect the room temperature over time with it running continuously. [Put it this way, if I could turn the ancient radiator off in this room, I would!] To clarify ... this is a two-bed semi with upstairs bathroom between, a short landing and open staircase; the unit sits just inside the rear bedroom which has no door. Heat always rises - but with the Hive thermostat downstairs set to 20.5C - the temperature in this room can easily rise to almost 25C, which is pretty warm. [Note: it's always warmer in this room due to the open staircase/heat rising, though.]I've only had the unit for a week, so still playing with the settings. I dare say, allowing it to be on Medium and/or Turbo for longer periods would presumably affect the machine's running time and, therefore, the warm air generation. Having said that, it's hard to imagine the Smart setting ever turning itself off in here, when it's looking for 45C-55C?!! [e.g. It's sat next to me and been on Turbo for a good fifteen minutes and the reading keeps dancing between 55C and 56C and has yet to turn off.]Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Dryer mode worked really impressively. In fact, overnight on Silent dried the adjacent damp clothes [hung from the door frame] really well, too.Finally ... manoeuvrability is really good [the castors a welcome addition, as it's quite a heavy unit]. Detaching the tank is a wee bit fiddly - but you'd probably get used to it - although the handle is perfectly balanced, so even when full you shouldn't spill the contents. Wi-Fi connectivity. Is it really necessary? I haven't used it much - and probably won't in this relatively small space where you're always passing the unit. And, lastly, while nobody likely buys such a unit for appearance, it actually looks pretty good, too.

Very good piece of kit, I use it in a large bathroom/wet room and it works a treat. It keeps the room dry and it warms the air in the room also. Hang the towels after a shower and they are dry in no time. Very good for drying clothes on rainy days, I can fill a clothes horse with washing and it is dry in a few hours. Good capacity tank although I use the external outlet with a length of hose as it is near a drain in the floor.

Bought this to replace a much smaller unit in a bedroom - but with the added thought of using it with a clothes horse to speed up drying non-tumble dryer clothes.Positioned it in the lounge and it takes care of the whole house (3 bed terrace). It is an absolute godsend in wet weather for the clothes drying setting alone - what used to take a few days to dry now takes a few hours.Emptying is a breeze - just let it fully fill up and then you combat the 'drippers' that look like a small leak after you remove the drain unit. The handle is the best feature, no more fumbling with a big box of sloshing water - just use the handle and gracefully carry it to the sink.The unit is quiet enough even on full tilt. We haven't had to turn the TV up or anything. On its lowest setting its barely noticeable.The wifi/app aspect is pretty cool - being able to ramp it up or down remotely saves having to get up, and it'll even tell you when its full.The different settings are great - we mainly use Smart or Drying mode, as they suit our situation best.I had to contact customer service as one of the wheels had cracked and fallen off - this didn't affect anything in terms of how it worked. They answered my query during the weekend, a new wheel was ordered on the Monday and less than 24 hours later the wheel was in my hands all the way from Greece. Fitting was a breeze, just popped the old wheel off and popped the new one on with a satisfying, well built clunk.These units are well built and seem to be pretty user serviceable - there's even a video on Youtube of a chap taking one apart to do a deep clean on the fan unit.Fantastic dehumidifier backed up by top notch customer service team, who care and go out of their way to find a suitable solution for your issue no matter how small.
