The dehumidifier seems to work well enough but i am surprised at the humidity level indicated on the readout. It seems far too high compared to the way the area actually feels. I do not have a means to get a second opinion. The readout will actual fluctuate over time - lately moving from 77% to 84% and back . Secondarily - the amount of water removed seems small if the air is actually that humid. Does the pump tend to move less water than simply using the tank? Thanks
