Light and quiet machine delivers fast results!

I've been meaning to purchase a dehumidifier because of a plumbing issue causing too much humidity to accumulate in our main bathroom. It was great timing that Butterly offered me the opportunity to be gifted this new 50 pint smart WiFi dehumidifier from NOMA iQ. The first thing I noticed is how light the machine is compared to previous models we've used from other brands. It was very easy to remove it from the packaging and I could lift it or roll it to the bathroom without breaking a sweat. I installed the NOMA IQ app on my android phone, created an account, and easily paired with the machine as soon as I plugged it in. The app is a great addition because it allows you to check the humidity level at any moment, as well as change the settings without even being in the same room. I didn't use it yet for the plumbing issue, but I still tested it for this review. I took a shower with the tub drain plugged to keep the water in and kept the door closed and the bathroom exhaust fan off, then I let it continue to fill about halfway. It got super humid in there and there was no way my towel was going to dry any time soon without intervening. I started the machine and it had a reading of 68% relative humidity. I set it to continuous mode with a timer of 2 hours (using the app). Within a minute, the reading was 66%, and 10 minutes later was down to 44%. After another 10 minutes I drained the tub. Next time I checked the app was 30 minutes after starting the machine and it was down to 32%. My towel was dry, and the mirror wasn't foggy. The room got a bit warmer because it was in a closed room, but it cooled down quickly after I opened the door. I'm super impressed!
PROs: light, works really well, very quiet (even in a small room), will stop when bucket is full (or can be used with a drain hose instead), convenient remote access and control through the app, Energy Star "most efficient" rating, good size for its capacity, connects to Alexa and Google Home assistants, will keep the humidity level between 30% and 80% based on the settings.
CONs: it's so light that it's difficult to align and push the bucket back in properly without the whole machine backing away (tricky, but easier if pushed against a wall or put a weight behind it), the top panel is very fragile (it ripped and let in a bubble when I removed a piece of tape holding the bag with the manual, really strong tape...), the "holes" used as handles to move/lift the machine are only on one side so it's unbalanced (having centered holes on each side would've been much better). Also, I'm new to using NOMA products so I'm not sure of its products' reliability and durability. I'm glad there's a 2-year warranty on defects in workmanship and materials. Generally, though, it's quite known that most modern/new dehumidifiers don't tend to last longer than 2 years regardless of the brand. But I'm hoping this one will prove me wrong and last a long time with proper care. The price of the machine ($250 on sale down from $380) seems lower than other brands too.
Overall I'm very pleased with the smart dehumidifier and would recommend it for someone who is looking for a lightweight and quiet machine at a reasonable price (smart and other features are just bonuses IMO). Thank you Butterly and NOMA iQ
