works fine, quiet, but no indicator that bucket getting full except the beep when it powers down due to the fullness. there is a tube included for drainage and a cover for the tube hole if you elect not to use it, but some areas don't give you the option. mine is used in a back bedroom and isn't run every day, so draining the bucket often is not an issue; however, i wouldn't recommend this unit for long-term or heavy-duty work even in a small area. the job it does is commensurate with its size, i'm still happy to have it!
Really happy with the device performance. A bit more expensive, but design, performance, and quality need to come from somewhere. The device will suck the moisture out of your room air as advertised. I had other units before, which did not do the job. the Waykar device is as well silent as promised, looks/feels sturdy and high quality, Had it for 2 weeks, I am anticipating also a durable performance for years to come.
love the controller. It is easier to see that everything is operating in crawlspace,
I moved to a new place and was wary of mold growing, so I researched best entry-level and efficient dehumidifiers. This unit has been quiet, reliable, and efficient. And I'm finding that using it in the bedroom has increased my sleeping comfort at the cost of very little noise during the night.
