The larger rating no doubt has a larger compressor, which means more
noise.BTW, a dehumidifier is basically an air conditioner that puts
the heat back into the room, along with the heat created by running
it. Unless you want to heat the room as well as dehumidify, use AC
instead. Doug

Subject: [DIY] Dehumidifiers
Lost the dehum on Saturday. Web search led me to the brand I want;
can be ordered only, no retailer carries it in stock. Dilemma: get
the 50 pint capacity, or the 70 pint? Unit dimensions are the same,
reservoir capacity is the same. Only difference: the smaller cap
uses 640 watts, the larger uses 765 watts. Spent 16 min with one rep
via chat, 8 min with another via the phone, only difference the chat
person could find was the wattage; neither could find out anything
about the motor. Are we to assume one would have a larger motor,
therefore be more effective? Or could they have the same motor, but
somehow be set up to draw different wattage? My knowledge of physics
re: electrical current is not sufficient to know what's what. Does
anyone else have any musings? Thanks for all input. I have spent way
too much time on this one already (researching brands, reading reviews
by experts, reviews by customers, etc.) I'm ready to move on with
life.
