Default Dehumidifier Choices

Good morning ladies and gents, I am curious to what people are using for a dehumidifier? Thanks!

If the boat is in the water:

The smallest one I could find that will sit on my galley counter and allow me to connect a short length of garden hose that can be used to discharge into the galley sink. This way, it never fills the pan and shuts off and can run continuously.

If the boat is out of the water:

The largest tubs of Damprid I can find. We place on in the head, and two in each stateroom, and two in the salon.

In water (which I am except for maintenance) I use the dehumidifier option on my AC.
That and a couple of small buckets of DampRid in the more confined spaces keeps up with the humidity during the winter months down here. In the summer the AC handles the cooling and dehumidifier duties.

I followed Shrew's advice and bought one that can sit on the galley counter and has a drain that I can just run into the sink!
