Reply to "For those who layouts are in the basements"

Here is another data point.  I live in southern Maryland and my Kenmore 70 is starting its 4th summer.  Basement size around 1,400SF with a humidity sensor on the other side of the basement from the dehumidifier.  The dehumidifier drains into the sump.

I plugged it in, set it at 50% and it runs 24/7.  The basement is between 45-55% humidity, sometimes lower in the winter.
