Overall I would say a solid dehumidifier for the price. I have no long term experience with other dehumidifiers so I can only speak of this one. There are a lot of negative points but I would still say it was a solid (and for us, important) purchase. The 3 modes are completely sufficient and the tank lasts, depending on the RH (relative humidity), a good 32-48 hours before it has to be emptied. The dehumidifier does not advertise directly with maximum m^2 (like the competition e.g. 50m^2 or similar) but rather with specific scenarios such as kitchen or living room of xy m^2 and so and so many degrees. Nevertheless, we use it (more or less) for the whole flat and it does a good job of reducing the RH in the whole flat. In addition, the device advertises a filter, but not a HEPA one, but one that protects the device.
Now to the negatives, or things that I have noticed. According to the instructions, it is normal and I can imagine that it is the same with other devices that the device vibrates when the dehumidifier is running. Nevertheless, I want to mention this in case it is a criterion for other people. In addition, the compressor makes a rather "higher frequency" noise, which is sometimes audible. I can't say whether it's defective or not, but I'm guessing it's "normal". The dehumidifier advertises quiet operation, but audible enough that it is not suitable for the bedroom at night (despite sleep mode). This is also communicated in the instructions, but I don't know if this is communicated so clearly on the Marketing material. Now to the last point; I think or assume that the RH is measured incorrectly or is stated higher than in reality. Either both my hygrometers are wrong, which differ within themselves by 1-2%, or the device, which constantly shows 8-10% too much. Now, of course, both hygrometers could also be wrong, but I would have to check this further. However, this does not change much for the operation, because I have simply adjusted the RH on the device so that the ideal RH on the hygros is correct. For example, the hygros show 50-52% and the target RH of the dehumidifier is 60%.
So on the whole I can recommend the appliance, especially for the price. The negative points are detailed enough to give you my exact impression. It has lowered our RH (10-15% on "bad" autumn and winter days) and drastically reduced the smell. It has also reduced or eliminated condensation on windows and even walls! reduced or eliminated.

The appliance replaced an expensive Stadler Form dehumidifier, which was already out of order after 3 years. I will update you here on how long it lasts. At the moment it makes a good impression. Quiet and easy to use. The water tank takes a bit of getting used to, but okay. The Xiaomi app is a bit scary... (but you can fully operate the appliance without it). The removal of the water tank is not well solved (handle notch makes it necessary to grip from above, but the weight pulls downwards...). The app and appliance do not display the full water tank at the same time (just: spooky...)

I ordered this dehumidifier based on the good reviews and I have to say I was not disappointed. I use it both in the room where I normally hang out the washing and occasionally in the cellar and living room. As soon as the tank is full, I receive a message on the app. However, the tank capacity is quite large. I don't find the appliance itself loud or annoying. So far an absolute recommendation from me. I would update it again if anything else comes up during long-term use.
