"One word - Wow."
11 Aug 2015, Helen H.
Product use: 1 month or less
Pros:
In less than a week I have gone from curtains frosted onto my windows to absolute bone dry windows in negative temperatures. Cannot believe how quickly this system removed the moisture from my house. It only took a couple of days since the install to actually see the difference. Less than a week and I can feel the difference now as well. Unaffected by open windows and doors. I am also able to buy a new filter and change myself. My furnishings are now starting to feel dry and warm as well. Best decision ever to get this installed.
Cons:
None so far
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
