The brand uses R410a refrigerant which is not as earth friendly as brands that use R32. The unit has three operating modes (auto, continuous, and sleep) with a 30 pint capacity and a 0.33 gallon condensate tank. The unit features auto defrost for continued operation even at lower temperatures and an alarm when the tank is full.

★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆

This brand is made in China for sale on Amazon but they use peltier technology instead of a refrigeration system and so they have a limited capacity. The CT2 model has a 6 pint per day drying capacity with two operating speeds. The CT15 model has the same capacity but includes a carbon filter and an ionizer to clean the air as well as drying it. The units are available at the same price so I cannot see a reason to buy the CT2 model.
