Hey guys! First time post right here, woohoo!

Have been having a super hard time finding a good dehumidifier! I had a nice 50 pint that was a little small for the room I have it in but was working like a charm. It was keeping RH below 45 and not putting off much heat. Well it started overheating last week so I bought a new one.
A 350$ utopian is the new unit and it sucks. It works great as a heater but does not like to dehumidify my room nearly as well as the old 50 pint I had. Im looking somewhere in the 200-500$ range. Please help!

Would like a dehumidifier that can go below 35RH too, that would be killer.

Much love.

Bro, i have ran quests forever. They are the best I have tried running sealed rooms. But they are a bit more than you want to spend unless you can find one on the internet from an unlucky grower.

I run big rooms though, they may be too big for whatvyou need.

Ya brother, i've heard great things about quests. Unfortunately I just don't have the funds at the moment. I would like something that could just do what I need for just long enough to buy a quest or commercial unit.

I understand. But mine came at cost from my hydro store because i buy so much shit.

Check craigs list or bud trader and the like. You might be surprised as to what you find. A grower needing to pay bills with no crop coming in would probably fall all over himself to sell you his. Never forget 100 dollar bills go a long way in negotiations. I bet you could get one for 500 if you can find one.

Hell, i will look for you. If i find one i will post up and then send u the info by pm.

This is a good place. Lots of people willing to help another grower out.

[Wendull C.]

Shit, u dont have posts for pm. I will leave a visitor message.

I really appreciate that! Thank you.

I found 2 smaller units last night that have great reviews but I haven't pulled the trigger. Starting to get impatient though, 50% RH in bud is not low enough for ma liking.

Are you in North America ? Homedepot or Lowe’s should have something for you , as you already know quest are boss .

The residential units will only do so much , the one I like was a 70p whirlpool unit the air ejected sideways vs from the top .

If you had trouble keeping the rh down with the unit you have you might need to run 2 units then .

As mentioned about the residential units only doing so much , I had 5 running last year and the rh wouldn’t go below 60% .since I’ve gotten a quest .

50% RH? that should be good enough. Quest is a brand but santa fe builds 'em they just sticker 'em Quest, Iv'e run a few and they work hard & are energy efficient...they have both 110 & 220V models...the customer service on them is good also, iv'e had them send a new unit with shipping paid twice. beat that china.

Bro, I looked for you. It seems everything mustve been sold by desperate growers before xmas. I cant find shit. Normally there is used equipment galore.

Thanks for looking Wendull! I really appreciate it, I ended up finding a cheap unit from Lowes with a warranty so if anything goes wrong ill stick it too them lol. Craigs and budtradr were just dry for whatever reason. your probably right about the xmas buy out. Ill make this work until I can stack up the funds for a real dehumidifier. Thanks again!
