"The manufacturer's user manual should provide you with information on this. Most practicably, this will depend on the size and configuration of the home, and the reasons behind your decision for acquiring the unit."

"The best spot to set up a dehumidifier in a home is typically in a central location with good airflow. This will help the dehumidifier to circulate air throughout the room and remove excess moisture from the air."

"The simple answer is that you should place the dehumidifier near the primary source of moisture or in the room most affected by dampness. You should also leave plenty of space for airflow around the machine, as this is essential for maintaining the dehumidifier's effectiveness"
