1K basement (now pretty dry & sealed along the walls... dug into sandrock). The big box unit pulled out mebbe 2 gal/per day for years ... set on 50% ... I plugged in an Alorair ... melikey already  . Removed about the same amount yesterday... into a bucket. Gravity drain (not gonna drain into my now bone-dry sump)... directly outside.
I left it at 40% yesterday... just to quantify... it ran a lot, and I briefly opened the big garage door a few times. I think at 50% and normal southern humidity ... it will be awesome & not run all that much.
I like it already... but I repeat myself

Be careful how much humidity (moisture) you pull out, you can dry things out too much. I think around 45-50% is considered "ideal" in the summer.
