Anyone have recommended dehumidifer they use?

Winter is coming in MI and I need to get my garage dry for the GT.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
 
A few months ago I got 2 for our garages in Florida off amazon. Whats cool about them is they have pumps built in that pump the water up and out.

Which one did you get? What humidity do you keep it at?
 
I edited my initial post to include a link. If I recall at around 40-45%

I seem to remember ~45% otherwise things can dry out ... to the point of damage.

Just make sure you have a drain close by and connect the drain hose to it with a wire tie or something similar. They produce more water than you think. Is the room air from a furnace with a humidifier?
 
Not too useful because I can't remember brand, but I had an industrial strength unit that you could hang from rafter, joist. or ceiling. Had a built-in pump, or you could use gravity. Application was crawl space - very humid - of 1500 plus square feet, and easily kept to 45% RH.

I have not had much luck with cabinet units from discount or big box stores. Only last 1 - 2 years. Well worth it to find a commercial grade unit.
 
Do you want to dehumidify the entire garage or just concerned about the car’s interior?

I dehumidify the entire garage, and even leave car windows a open (at least drivers door). No need for desiccants. Dehumidifier also of course has a fan to help circulate the air.

Entire garage
 
I have placed dehumidifiers in my garages for years ( live in NE). Run 9 months a year ( dry in my cold climate in winter). Amazing amount of water comes from them. Distilled and use to water the plants) one has drain hose attachment which exits outside), 2 were recalled in because of risk of fire ( made guess where?!).
Not sure hanging it from rafters works as well since humid air tends to sink unless heated. My garages tend to remain cool with dehumidifier unless I leave the doors open.
My 2c and experience
 
I installed the Mitsubishi heater, air conditioner and dehumidifier
Works great
 
I did the same as Rocket Man when I built my new garage. Before that I had a “Golden Rod” gun safe dehumidifier rod in each car. Did an excellent job but only did the cab.
