The electriQ 20L Dehumidifier has two fan speeds, namely Low which is quiet and High which is more powerful. The dehumidifier is an energy efficient appliance, using up to 40% less energy than some of those available on the market. We like its continuous (permanent) drainage feature, its three tier traffic light system which indicates the humidity level on the front, and also its up to 24 hour scheduling timer.
