We just moved to Tallahassee, FL, and while I haven't verified this fact, it sure seems hotter and more humid than "Hotlanta"! We are temporarily living in an apartment, and with unpacking, setting up (and rearranging) furniture, and at least one window at every time of the day that lets in sunlight we sure are feeling the heat.

Thankfully, our unpacking to date has revealed our Danby dehumidifier, which my husband promptly placed in a strategic corner of our living room. I could tell the difference almost right away: The drier the room became, the more comfortable we felt – and the temperature was the same.

Of course, we don't want the air to get too dry. With Danby's built-in humidity meter, keeping ideal humidity levels is a cinch. We simply set the level to 45 percent and let it do its thing.

We used our unit mostly in the basement in our house in Atlanta, but we are enjoying the difference it makes in our day-to-day lives in our living area here. Even our dog chooses to sleep next to it!
