Dehumidifier upgrade recommendations

This one done me well. Continuous operation for 5 months straight. Just started making clones smaller and now its barely on but it gets dry around fall/winter but still can get 80rh days in the home.

I bought another one for backup and out of loyalty. Its good to me so Ill look no further. I had my first one for 2 yrs now. I just keep it set to 45rh. Room toggles from 45-50rh same in tents no higher than 55% if plants are fitting snug.

I grow 5 bigger plants in one 10x10 bedroom. 6 mini one liter plants.

I've had one of the 50 pint units for about 5 years now.
I only do an annual grow for about 5 months, but it has been flawless since day 1.

People said they suck but that they all do these days. The poor reviews of frozen coil could be they didnt know not to run it below 65F and similar things. Mine works real well too. Ive had it on contiuous operation for months at a time for most of the 2 yrs I had it.

Just heard theyre all meant to be efficient sure but turned into a market of planned obsolescence. I like the idea of buying them as needed vs the quest I did see around before.

I thought those were for commercial grows like you see them marketed for in their images. The back ground is a commercial grow. I dont think OP has that but may of invisioned a smaller grow as 9 plants can be huge. Mine are 3x3’.

Nothing I didnt think a couple of frigidaires or the like couldnt handle.

Thanks for sharing. Yours is a 70 pint? Are you sure that would be enough for me? Also are there any down sides to over sizing?

Downside of over sizing: amp limits. Compare a 500 and 1000w solution. The 1000w solution would eat up a light that could be used to grow with. But other than that i dont know.
