Alright, I'm asking the mind hive of TRF... What is a decent dehumidifier to buy?
Over the last 30 tears I can't seem to get one that lasts over 3-4 years, with the average being 2 years... even for "commercial units".
None available have service ports, their all made as cheaply as possible. They seem to loose refrigerant, then it's done. I did have a HVAC buddy cut the seals off and charge one, but it only lasted 1 more summer.
Sure there are CRAZY expensive units for clean rooms, etc. But at that cost the return on investment will be like never. I just want something that lasts 10 years like an appliance should. (Maybe even 5 would get me going.)
