Any recommendations on a good dehumidifier

[oldsmokey]

Does anyone have a recommendation on a good dehumidifier. It's been pretty humid this year I think I might need one. My grow room is 5'-8'-8'. I just want to make sure I buy something that's actually going to work and not some underrated piece of crap.

EDIT: Removed because it was totally useless info for the size of unit I was recommending.

You have less than 50 sq ft so like a 5 or 10 pint unit would work I would assume.

Keep in mind that the dehumidifier puts out heat. I ran a "Keystone 50 pint dehumidifier" last year and had to keep AC running to keep temps down. It was a battle and cost lots of money for electricity... This year I have been keeping my air exchange on and keep fans blowing on the plants constantly, so far so good.

This is the one I've been using for about 4 years now without a single problem.
I would make sure you get one with a pump.

I am thinking of putting it outside the grow room to avoid heat issues. And drawing the fresh air from there.

I recently picked a new one up from Wallyworld, it’s just a smaller one. 9 pint I believe, but I put a hose on it into a 5 Gallon jug. Working great so far.

Can dehumidify the room your grow is in. Humidity will stabilize thru out the room. My dehumidifyer is in a different room and still does the whole floor space down stairs. I have a large unit but it will work the whole space no need to put it inside the tent.

I went out last night and got a 30 pint dehumidifier. Put it in the adjoining room. Humidity went from 75 to 50 overnight even with water tank filling up in the unit shutting off. Going to hook up the hose directly to the drain today.
