Choice of dehumidifier? 
Hi all,

I'd like to ask what make of dehumidifier forum members have in their shops.
To narrow things down, I'd be looking at models available in North America.

I figure since humidity is a concern for serious guitar makers, there would be some pretty informed choices. I also figured there'd also be some makes/models to steer clear of.

Thanks all,
Jake.

I can't give you much help on your choices as im in the uk. I reccomend getting one with a humistat on. I have been using one for a couple of years now and its great not having to remember to turn it off and on all the time

Mine is a DeLonghi with a humistat and it throws the water directly outside my workshop, so its 100% automatic.

Get one where you can disamble it pretty easily. All the dust ends up in the radiator of the thing and then they stop working well

I fist thought that you guys are talking about dehumidifers for guitar case!

I bought a DD122FW-MK4 and I must admit it is the most amazing gadget I have ever owned.
Whenever I empty the bucket I can't believe how much water it catches from the air! Highly recommended:)

Anders is giving you good advice. I've had several different kinds. None of them lasted more than 3-4 years. They are all noisy but seem to work well until they start freezing up. The size is dependent on how big and how tight your shop is.
