I need help choosing a dehumidifier can u help me out on a brand im looking to spend 50 to 80 usd my humidity is very low here but in my grow room its anywhere from 60-70 percent on average depending on if I just waterd or not also my room is about 8 ft tall 8 ft long 2 ft wide
 
Seems like it would work if it does wht it says but I can't seem to find how many pints of water it holds
 
Oh and can anyone tell me weather or not a dehumidifier works better up high down low in the middle what's the best place for it?
 
As for placement, humidity neither rises nor falls so placement is not that important. No matter where you place it, it will remove moisture from the air. Ideally, you would place it about 6 inches away on all sides from walls, or other objects so that air flow is not restricted in any way.

Where should I place my dehumidifier?

Proper placement of your dehumidifier is critical for achieving top performance. Most people place dehumidifiers in basements, laundry rooms, crawl spaces, and indoor pool areas since these areas often have moisture problems. However, there are models available to address a variety of moisture issues that can be placed anywhere from single bedrooms to warehouses.

Once you have determined the area that needs dehumidifying, narrow down the specific part of that area where the dehumidifier will physically be placed. Most manufacturers recommend placing your dehumidifier at least six inches away from walls or any other structure that may impede airflow into and out of the dehumidifier. If you must place it close to a wall, consider purchasing a dehumidifier with multiple placement options, such as the Santa Fe Compact Dehumidifier, which allows users to suspend the dehumidifier overhead using the optional Hang Kit.

Tht one definitely looks like it would be a great pic but at 200 bucks I won't. E able to afford tht for at least two more grows and I was kinda worried tht little thing wouldnt do exactly wht it said
 
I dnt have a face book but also didn't no they had a marketplace how do u no tht your not gana get ripd off if u buy from there ?
 
If the relative humidity is low in the house or building where Your grow is located, then just increase the air circulation to dissipate the higher humidity in the grow space. I keep a bow fan circulating the air in the room where my grow closet is located and have small fans exhausting the warm humid air from it. I am at mid bloom and the plants are drinking 2 to 2 1/2 gallons per week. The hovers around 50-55% when the ambient RH is up around 35-40% (average RH here is around 25-30%).
Good luck with Your grow.
 
St.buds I know exactly what you mean. I didn't want to shell out that kind of money for one, but I tried a couple of the small ones, and that was a wasted $80 or 100. I swear, if I had a kid, I could have put him through college (not Ivy League) for what I've shelled out for this hobby...
 
Thanks for clarifying that alltatup. I had not used the smaller units before, only the larger models. I agree with you that the price range needs to be upped a bit to get into something that will work well. I had a Soleus Air/Gree 70 pint when I lived down south and it worked like a charm and it had an external hose hook-up so you never had to worry about over filling the reservoir. It's overkill for that size space...probably could use a 30 pint effectively. It's rated to handle moderate humidity for up to 1500 sq.ft.

You're welcome, ellz. I'm in the dirty south and when the humidity is at its worst, I empty the reservoir on my dehumidifier twice a day. Mine beeps and just turns off when it's full. When I use it, I stick it in the doorway of my grow room so that the warm air blows out into the hall and not into the room.
