what is the tank size of this Dehumidifier ? and is it quiet?

I'm not sure of the actual size in mL or oz, but can say that on HI it fills up about 1/2 way in 6 hours. That's at around 77 degrees F and 65% humidity. It's easy to empty, although it took me a few times to remember that the cover of the reservoir falls off if you don't hold on to it.

This machine is very quiet compared to the traditional design for dehumidifiers. Not silent, but quiet. 8.45 pints according to the manufacturer. Haven't measured it myself.

I don't agree with the other two answers. This air conditioner is the quietest one I have ever own. I had it installed about 15" from the ceiling, I also have a ceiling fan that we use. I give it 5 stars.

We did not compare it to an other sound meter. We measured the noise from a dehumidifier rated at 55 db, as we thought it was much louder than that, and indeed found it to be 81db.Repeat measurements were always at the same level, which allowed exchange to a more silent machine.Did not test at louder levels.

I really like this dehumidifier and have it in a semi-basement/music studio. It is really quiet. I turn off the unit when I am using the room and I only put it on when it is damp. I think the smell could be too much for a family room unless you only ran the unit when you were not in the room. Sometimes it has a smell and sometimes it doesn't. I can't really figure out why. I wonder if it were run more continuously if the smell would go away.

This unit is very quiet. The only thing making noise in my installation is the permeate pump that I added to it. But even that doesn't bother me.

I consider the unit "relatively quiet". It has a tank so the compressor only works a small part of the time.

We are using it in a small bathroom about 7'X7', it is very efficient but a bit louder than I planned on.I hope this helps, my best,Gary

It's very quiet - a soft bubbling sound that you can barely hear. The mist comes out continuously, until it exhausts its supply of water.

The size of the dehumidifier depends on the humidity level and the size of the area your trying to control. I am using this 50 pint model in approximately 1500 sq. ft. basement and it keeps the humidity level at 45%. I hope this helps you decide. i have never had a problem and it is easy to operate.

Yes, very quiet. But it puts out heat, to regenerate the desiccant, so its use is limited in hot, humid weather, eg not for a bedroom. I'm satisfied with mine.

yes it is very quiet, especially compared with a standard compressor type dehumidifier. But initially it has a strong odor from the heating element- it was really strong for about 2 weeks- if it had been in a small room with me it would have been unacceptable. It goes away after a couple of weeks. So break it in in another room before you get intimate with it.

Hi! Thank you for your inquiry. This dehumidifier can remove up to 12 pints of moisture a day if set to high; 7 pints on medium and 4.5 pints on low. The tank capacity is 8.45 pints. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let us know!

This is a horribly loud dehumidifier. It rattles and vibrates the whole time it's used. We've actually stopped using it. It also puts out a lot of heat, so that is a consideration for a small space or a warm climate.

Just OK. It was louder than the Frigidaire unit I have replaced it with but I didn't consider it objectionable. It has 2 fan speeds and is predictably a bit quieter on the low speed setting, in the same range as a window air conditioner on a low fan speed setting. I couldn't hear any compressor noise so it was just rushing air white noise.

It's very quiet. The component will shut off if the water runs out. I always keep a water bottle handy. I've used it as a night light as well for my children.

I don't precisely for your case but you can follow these simple steps: http://www.wikihow.com/Choose-the-Size-of-a-Dehumidifier to get a closer idea. Thanks

The advertised pint size is a measure of the units ability to remove moisture from the surrounding air over a period of time. So a 35 pint dehumidifier is capable of removing approximately that amount of moisture from the room/space over a given period. I have not measured the manufactures label claim as it depends on several varivbles. As an aside do not assume the capacity of the holding tank matches the moisture removal capability of the unit (i.e. 35 pint capability does not mean a 35 pint tank capacity). To get to the heart of the question I believe you are asking I submit the following I have read that a 70 pint capable dehumidifier can remove service a 1200 sq. ft. (volume) room or basement. So a bigger unit will remove more moisture but remember its volume, not square feet. If the room is 8 ft tall you will remove moisture faster than if the room is 10 ft tall. Go to one of the independent sellers of dehumidifiers and type in "basement dehumidifiers" for example and you will find this sq. ft. statement in the technical description.. Frankly this is a figure of merit in my thinking just like tires rated at 50K miles are. Ever had them go that long?
