I looked on the HD Canada and US website and they have 50 and 70 pint models or is there something different going on besides conversions from metric/us/canadian measurements.? Like this one

We’ve had a Danby for several years and it’s been good. We had one of those Kenmores too, from the 80s. It was really expensive to operate. Good luck!! |

No luck with anything made in the last 15 years. Have a few vintage ones but none powerful enough to do the job I need them to do. I'm curious if there's a more commercial alternative that isn't prohibitively expensive. |

If you have a home with central A/C but still need humidity reduction in basements or maybe a garage consider instead installing a small 5000 BTU window A/C in a window Etc.
I small WAC will remove a lot of water and will assist in keeping your home cool and dry and not be working against the C/A by putting off nearly 3000 BTUs of heat when it is running.
Small A/Cs are cheaper, less of a fire hazard and do not have to be emptied, yes you may still need a dehumidifier for cool damp days but I would never run one in a home that has CAC running at the same time it is just too costly.

there are two programs...one is the rebate on the purchase of an Energy Star appliance (refrigeration or non-refrigeration) and the other is a bounty on the recycling of a compressor-containing appliance. I had purchased a dehumidifier years ago at ABC Warehouse, which died (fan motor). I got the mail-in rebate on the new dehumidifier (bought at Costco), and got the bounty (check mailed to me) on the dehumidifier when I took it to the place where they had the recycling drive (happened to be in Detroit). You also can get the dehumidifier $25 if they're picking up a refrigerator at your address as well, but I didn't have an unused refrigerator. Looks like the Consumers' program is slightly different than DTE's but you get the idea.
