The ones you can get at the big box stores will not cut it or last for long.
I’m about an hour south of you in Milton,Georgia. My shop is under my house and is mostly underground on three sides (poured concrete walls) with the exposed end wood framed with a window, man door and a single garage door.
When I was moving in here 10 years ago my tools started rusting after 3 days !
I tried the biggest unit from Lowe’s and it kinda worked but still pretty humid down there. I have about 1100 sq ft and ended buying a “real” dehumidifier about 7-8 years ago and I will never go back. Here is the specs on mine.
It’s pretty wet out right now and my shop is 48% humidity inside. At that level of humidity the unit does not run a lot . This unit is rated for a larger space than I have but I didn’t want one that ran all the time like the one from Lowe’s.
