Consider switching to an ENERGY STAR qualified model.
Newer ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifiers use 10% to 20% less energy than conventional models but offer the same features - effective moisture removal, quiet operation and durability. The energy saved by an ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifier could power your refrigerator for 6 months.

On a hot, muggy day, humidifiers can collect as much as 50 litres of water a day! Just set the humidity level and the unit will start and shut off automatically.
