Just got the new unit.
Runs ~400 watts on max mode. Supposed to be able to pull 35 pints a day (4.375 gal) at 65 F, 60% humidity. Rated for 1.9 Liters per Kilowatt.
Meter is set, Testing underway.
Build quality is good. Lots of heatsink area. Acceptably loud, You can sit 10 feet from it without much bother.
The compressor noise isnt' bad at all. It's very quiet for what it is. Not physically ugly.
After testing, Will probably build an air guide shroud for it, so one can place it a bit further away, Stock, it blows air upwards, this is not ideal as it has high re-uptake..
