This thing works great. The tank fills up very quickly. I had to run the tube out the back into a separate container. I also live in a rainy state. The only bad thing about this one it raised my tint temperature almost 10 degrees. Glanced over and saw my temperature was at 88:-( I had to take it out and place it right next to the intake fan. Hoping that will eliminate some of the moisture going into the tent. I put my little tiny guy in there to help with the humidity.

Do you place the unit inside your tent? Is there a target setting on these (50%, etc)? Thinking about picking one up as my buds are starting to swell now, don’t want to risk not getting across the finish line with a good end result. I have no idea what my tent humidity is, with the ac on in the house, it’s probably mid-50’s, yet you can feel it’s more humid in n the tent.
I do not keep my dehumidifier in the tent. I control the environment outside the tent, so when the fan draws in the air, it’s drawing conditioned air. (Dehumidified in this case)
If you place it inside the tent, the air exchange would happen so quickly it never had a chance to do anything, and only adds heat to the tent. @GardenGrove

I have the Hysure Portable Mini Dehumidifier in a MarsHydro 2.3x2.3’x63” grow tent with two plants. It is doing a great job and only $37.
I have expensive dehumidifiers but they do the trick. Bout $240-$300 you can get a really nice built in pump dehumidifier. You don’t want to try and lug that 50-70 pint water drawer out especially if your usually jam packed in your tent like I am because its a hassle to move daily. Just yesterday I had to buy a new one for my drying tent and the cheapest lowes had was a $120 one. But believe me if your hurting for space the built in pump is a life saver
I just picked up a refurbished Frigidaire 50 pt. on ebay. $230 dehumidifier for $150 shipped. My grow tent is in the basement (damp and cold) can get the RH in the entire basement down to 35% if I want. Dosen’t have a pump but it does have a hookup for a garden hose so you don’t have to lift heavy tank. I generally pull 3 to 4 gallons every 24hrs. I use that to water and feed. It tests at about 40ppm ph about 7.1
Works out with 5ml/gal of CalMag to be 350ppm and ph 6.5 perfect for water days.

I have used the RV dehumidifier Pro Breeze in my 2002 Riatla QD. My motorhome is about 1000 cubic feet. This winter was very wet and the interior was showing signs of mold on some interior surfaces. I am well aware of the damage mold and mildew can do to motorhome interiors. I use two small rechargeable dehumidifiers that turn pink when wet and blue when dry. These were not enough this winter. So, I bought the Pro Breeze Mini and couldn’t be happier. I have a gauge in my motorhome that shows the temp and humidity. It has reduced the interior humidity by 20%.

We use these dehumidifier in our basement all summer (Midwest) - we find that most dehumidifiers fail after 1 or 2 years. So - we either purchase them from Costco and return them when they fail or we have purchased the “extended” warranty at Lowes before (we NEVER do this on anything else). I don’t think we’ve paid for a dehumidifier in over 10 years using either one of these methods. They just fail - we’ve tried all brands, all types.
