For personal comfort, I'd much rather have an eighty-degree environment with thirty percent relative humidity than a seventy degree room with seventy percent relative humidity.
But dehumidifiers really shine in cool clammy climes where they not only remove moisture but add some heat to the air.
Having an instrument set on the wall, thermometer and hygrometer allows me to instantly analyze my comfort versus climate modification performance.
Inversely, in the winter when a room was at 80F and I felt chilled, I found the relative humidity at five percent or even zero percent.
When neither the temperature nor humidity falls, I know the problem is within the machinery.
