I go through some small room dehumidifiers. I buy them new and used and they all last about 2 years running them 24/7/365 in my guest house/man cave/work shop. I would love to find someone who knows how to repair them. They continue to run but the compressor go out so they basically become a air circulating devices. You know anyone who can work on them? know anyone who would like a nice air circulating device?
