I thought the manual was good with a few omissions. The manual has photos of all the maintenance procedures that need to be preformed every 6 months to a year. You need to read the manual before you even think about plugging in the unit. This is not an unpack and plug-in device. I had to fill the bottom tank five times to prime the EcoloBlue 30 for it to get going. I called technical support and did get though directly 3 of the 5 times. I called so many times because I was not sure what was occurring was normal. They give you 30 days to return the unit if you are not satisfied. The shipping weight is 132 pounds. You do have an option to connect a water line to the unit that is filtered rather than using the dehumidifying circuit to produce water (a winter, low humidity option). You do have an option to turn heating and cooling of the water on/off. When the unit is either cooling the water (top tank) or in dehumidifying mode it has a fan that moves a lot of air. The unit produces noise when in operation and is much noisier than your typical refrigerator. You cannot put this unit in a small room because it will suck all the humidity out of the air in short order. The 30 system seems to be well designed but very complex. I wonder how reliable the unit will be over the long haul. The water tastes great either hot or cold. In the 6 months of using the system I did not have any mold or bad water smell issues. Beats carrying 42 pound 5 gallon water bottles.Some concerns:The minimum Relative Humidity should be 40% not 35% (readout of RH on blue LCD) as stated in the manual. Anything less than 40% does not produce any meaningful water amounts. Their charts for RH and water production are off by a decimal point at least. The manual on page 5 even states that it operates best at a RH of 50%. I can verify this, at 50% the system 30 does make water at an acceptable rate. The low humidity solution would be to use the external (tap water) connection on the back of the 30 to supply water. As stated previously this unit moves a lot of air, there is a noise issue. Maintenance, you need to monitor and clean the system 30 at regular intervals described in the manual. A new filter set will cost you $79. In fairness all water treatment systems need maintenance, the system 30 a little more than others. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Great idea......poor execution By Jim Like Jack, I got the idea from the Alex Jones show.Gripe number 1:-I ordered it in early July......and didn't receive it until EARLY SEPTEMBER!Gripe #2:-So I finally get it hooked up and ready to go after letting it sit for 24 hours (part of the setup instruction) and what happens? A leak! One of the 90 elbows on the filters in the front was cracked. I fix that and wait 3 days as it fills for the first time.Gripe#3Another leak! This time it was the back side top of the T piece where water is dispensed. I call customer service and they tell me that this is a multi use piece.........they make soda machines too and they use the same connector pieces. I assume they save money by using the same parts, but where is QC? So they are now send me out a plug for that gaping design flaw. At this point I'm on the verge of returning it......Gripe #4 (the last straw):After two and one half weeks of trouble it still takes over 3 days to produce a full tank. I have drained it 3 and a half times in between fixing leaks and I still get tons of mold floating in the water. I'm done.In short.....I love the idea.....but it seems to be years away on the affordable side.UPDATE: It is December 7 2011 and I still have no sign of a refund. I returned it on 11 October 2011. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Use Extreme Caution with this company. By JackMetal We bought the water generator after hearing about it
