hello everyone i am looking at dehumidifiers and i was about to purchase the anden 320v1 for my big room when my homie told
me to look at the LG250 commercial dehu (they are mobile) which i also like a lot!. so i did and after my compare and contrast only major thing
im reading that is worth the anden is that is is specifically made for cultivators with that being said it is an expensive piece of equipment was looking for so advice
I have both specs here

LG250: does 250 pints per day pushes 500 square feet per minute voltage is 120 Hertz is 60 Watts 1040 Amps 9 rated capacity @ 80 degrees 60% RH (pints)-130

Anden320: does 320 pints per days says they were "designed" for cultivators does 830 cubic feet per minute Voltage 208-240 1 phase 60 Hertz PPD@ 80 degrees/60%RH-320 it uses 2310 Watts and 11.1 Amps energy factor 6.0 pints/kWh

price difference is about 2k so was wondering if i can get two LG and get 500 Pints per day or if im missing somthing and anden is the better overall product? anything helps thank you guys!

I don't know how big your area is but two things to keep in mind
Dehumidifiers create a lot of heat
Getting temps controlled thru A/C is the best way to lower humidity as well

Those appear to be overkill unless you have an entire house to grow in

You won't get those values of water removal if the moisture isn't present in case you were thinking of that as a watering option

Good luck

I run a six light room and my dehumidifier is the typical home style at most any big box store
50 pints I believe with a built in pump to waste

I’d do my research LG and Goldstar are same manufacture. Same product. Over priced for the quality.

Yeah I don't think the box store home dehumidifier is gonna cut it :o :lol:
one thing im confused on is this the LGR is rated capacity @80 degrees and 60% RH is 130
and the anden is 320 like the model does that mean that at 80 degress and room humidity 60% the LGR would only do 130 pints per day and the anden 320 ? the PPD and AHAM confuses me lol

How many plants and what medium are you using. 2500sqft I’d go at least to a quest 506. Depending on plant count it may be two of them. Also your location will have an impact on what you need due to outside ambient rh.
