Any recommendations on a good dehumidifier to get? Got a 84 cubic ft closet off of a bedroom thats about 800 cubic feet all air in and out of the closet goes thru the room. I have an inline in the closet that exchanges the air in the closet 1.5 times per minute.

I tried the 30 pint from wally world that was a decent price and did suck a lot of moisture out of the air but it was so loud it would have been unbearable to run in the bedroom all day. Also it consumed almost 500 watts to run. From what Ive seen most are loud and consume tons of power.

I need a quiet dehumidifier and i would like to use as little power as possible. Im only running a 400 watt hps with about 100 watt in fans and during the summer a 400 watt AC has to be run or in winter a 600 watt radiator must be run so an additional 400 watts is just too much.

I was look at the EVA DRY 2200 which is there biggest model and it should be pretty quiet and uses only 72 watts. Im thinking it may be small enough to go inside the closet but im not sure how much difference it would make with air being circulated 1.5 times per minute. ive seen it for 80 bux at a lot of places online with free shipping dont sound too bad but it can only remove 10.5 oz of water per day the one from wally world to lower the humidity to 40% i was dumping almost a gallon of water a day.

Also there is a 30 pint model from Soleus that gets grate reviews for being quiet but still it consumes 350 watts. Also, many complaints about reliability and customer service of the company and its products.

Any suggestions for me money is a concern not trying to go all out just want something that works that i can live with without hitting the power bill or my eardrums too much.
