The brand of dehumidifier you choose is very important because it’s a good indicator of how long the machine will last. It’s a shame that some people find out the hard way, a cheap unit just doesn’t last. Spend the extra money for a quality name brand that you know is going to provide you years of trouble free use. It’s really worth the spared headache in the end and you’ll find that you save a lot of money over having to constantly replace the machines.
