Hi,
We're in the precise same position -- ready to buy a dehumidifier and Sante Fe seems the pick but it's pricey and I'd like to know if it's quiet. Here's one model (among the more expensive) that boasts it's for quiet / finished spaces. Our additional twist is that our small NYC basement is a mere 650 square feet. What if any impact will there be if we purchase a unit designed for approx 2500 sq. feet and/or is there a non-Sears cheapy that exists that can do it for us? Thanks.
