I bought the unit for use in a small basement area but, when I saw how attractive and quiet it was, decided to use it in our kitchen area. It sits unobtrusively next to a stool at our bar and quietly removes a container of water every day and a half. Rolls around easily. The container is much easier to remove than those on Frigidaire units I am using ( 25 and 50 pt).I love it. Can't comment on durability becuse I have only one month of experience.
