The main difference between these units is the only one with a centrifugal fan is the Breezeair (pumps air) all the other have axial fans (like a propeller) which blow air. Centrifugal is typically quieter. How many have included some form of water management system? Provided they have enough capac...

wireless ones are very expensive mainly because there arent many good ones on the market, just curious is your house double storey? If it isnt then it should be too hard to run cables Thanks, House is single storey.
