re: Dehumidifier question

i put a $140 costco whirlpool dehumidifier on the OPPOSITE side (35' away) from that wall between the garage doors & ran the hose outside.
Good to hear, but it is in the same room and it seems, if I'm reading it right, that there are no walls involved in between the dehumidifier and what you are targeting.
I should probably be a bit more detailed. To accomplish running the hose into where the washing machine drains, the dehumidifier will have to be tucked away in the corner of the laundry room. So it will basically be behind a wall to the three foot hall that leads to my living room, but there will be no closed doors in the way. Basically, is it going to pull humid air from the living room, through the hallway and into the dehumidifier in the corner of the laundry room....bearing in mind the area of these spaces is far less than 1500 sq ft.

i still say you're fine.
good thing about costco is if it doesn't work, return it in 6 months.
the whisper mode makes about as much noise as a small window ac unit. i don't even notice it when i'm working in the garage.
and you're right, there are no walls but if you pull the humidity down to 45% in the laundry room (very easy already being indoors) it will pull the humidity down in the other room too.
remember my garage is almost 1,000sft, has NO HVAC so its always hot during the day, its full of CRAP including 2 vehicles (one is an escalade) between it and the rear wall and when the doors open that 93% outdoor humidity gets blasted into it constantly.
eta buy a $20 digital hydrogometer(sp?) to put in the living room and keep an eye on the levels after you put the dehumidifier in.
