I'm not sure when it's running. I hardly ever hear it, now that it's sunnier.
I think when it does run, it's most likely after we use a lot of hot water on an overcast day.
In the past, the typical run is between 1 and 2 hours per day. But not on good sunny days..

The A7 isn't doing a lot of water heating, therefore, not much help with the humidity.
The basement ventilation is on during times of low outdoor humidity.
So, we are pulling in dry air from outdoors, when possible.
If it's raining or damp, no fresh air for the basement.

The Sanyos have been working great during this hot spell.
At night, I turn off the den Sanyo and just leave the LR unit set to 22C.
That's the best way to keep it dry in here. If set to 23 or 24, it gets damp.
Because it won't run with outdoor temps at 23 or 24C..
If it's a cool rainy night, I have to set to dehumidifier mode, and that makes it too cold..
