Pros
Very Quiet And Efficient
Cons
Unreliable
Best Uses
None
Comment:
Used to maintain humidity in conditioned crawlspace. Ran quietly and efficiently until about 10 months and then died (icing -- usually means loss of refrigerant). Replacement unit provided without cost (1 yr warranty) and also ran quietly and efficiently until it died at one year (also icing). Not a good track record for reliability.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
