• Compact size for its capacity

⚠️ Considerations

• Higher electricity usage (1300W)
• Needs strong ventilation (air-cooled)
• Likely louder than smaller units
• May require a dedicated circuit depending on your setup

💡 Quick Rule of Thumb

• Under 100 people/day → smaller unit is enough
• 100–300+ people/day → this #575 model makes sense
