there are dehumidifiers and there are dehumidifiers. Some are small and use a thermoelectric element. IMHO not worth a darn. they will extract maybe a quart of water/day. less than what you produce from normal persperation.
The good ones are a refrigeration unit that has an exposed refrig coil that lowers the temp below the dew point and extracts moisture. Even a small roll around unit will extract 6-10 gallons of water/day in high humidity conditions. These work well. Thats what we have. figure around $100 for such a unit.
