I'm shopping for a dehumidifier; any you found really good or bad?

I don't need a heavy duty one because it's for my apartment (about 1000 SF) which has central heat/air, but not the greatest insulation and a corner unit with lots of windows... (no garage, basement or attic). It should have a decent capacity for a home, I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida near the beach so it can get pretty humid during some parts of the year, but I don't need industrial strength.

I'm looking for something in the $100 to $200 range. So since it's for a small apt, fairly compact would be great so I could move it from room to room, like the kitchen in the day time or the bedroom at night.

And it has to be fairly quiet since we'd probably want to keep it running on hot summer nights or when I'm sitting here working on hot, humid days when even the AC doesn't seem to be doing well enough.

Automatic shut-off when full would also be good, just in case.

I'm not looking for suggestions like "damp rid" or charcoal or kitty litter, because I already use those things and they can get messy to change or if knocked over and I'm probably spending $100 a year because some months I have to replace them every 10 days.
