If I number the cons vs the pros, it's tempting to actually give this 3 stars rather than 4. But the bottom line is that it's core function of getting moisture out of the air is performed well.
My wife and I previously had the DNC60, which we prefer the look of. We stick with these non-compressor models because they are less hassle to reposition and also have the ionizer/negative ions functionality built in.
This DNC65 model vs it's predecessor.....
CONs:-
Noisier. None of these things are whisper quiet (sales sphincter talk) unless coasting in "fan-only mode" maybe, but this one seems to be less quiet than usual.
Uglier. Slightly bulkier than it's predecessor, and without the funky blue light we liked.
Vane motion. Although the "swing motion" of the vent does work, unlike in Mr B's review, it's motion/travel is not as smoothe in parts of it's cycle as I suspect it should be. A minor quible as it has not deteriorated since first use.
The 2 litre tank. Not so much a "con" as a lack of improvement. Although the tank is clearer and it's easier to see how full it is, when emptying the new design provides different awkwardness.
PROs:-
Care of. Slightly easier to clean/maintain.
Functionality. New "clothes drying" mode. Essentially a sort of boost mode (though uses a little more electricity for those keeping tabs) that makes it work faster. Useful for, yes, you guessed it, drying clothes. Note: even when using this function, it will still take some hours to fully dry a full load hung out on an indoor rack. But still better than all day/overnight. Also, this model features an option for "continuous drain"; which if set up correctly negates the need to ever remove the tank for emptying.
Bottom line. Works harder and faster. With equivalent conditions I'd say it's 20% or so more efficient/fast. (Maybe the reason it's a bit louder?)
Summary: Quite good, but not as nice as it's precedessor.
