What's A Good Air Blower/Fan To Dry Out

I own a pier & beam house in Dallas. I have a 1'-2' dirt crawlspace that can only be accessed from inside the house. Dallas has been getting a lot of rain lately and my crawlspace is damp, which I'm told is not good. It could lead to humidity issues inside house, mold etc.
I've currently got a regular circular fan in the crawlspace at the closet access point to try and dry it out. I'm interested in getting an air blower type of fan since I think it'll do a much better job. Went to Home Depot and they have this $200 Ridgid Ridgid. Not much else to choose from there. Also looking on Amazon & see this Shopvac brand for $50 Shopvac
I don't see many other options with good, verified reviews. I'm usually not a big fan of Ridgid and would rather not spend $200 if I don't have to. Can anyone recommend a good air blower.

They've been putting exhaust type fans on timers here in NOLA for a while. I doubt it does much, but they sell them anyway.

That rigid one is good and will assist I drying it out quickly but you can get powered vents on a timer that exhaust through the crawl space vent openings.

In the moonwalk business they call them snail blowers.
Check some sites that sell amusements (not rentals) and you'll find exactly what you need.

Lasko makes some utility fans similar to that Ridgid model but less expensive.
I bought a couple at Sam's years ago, and we use them every summer on the patio. Friends who see/feel them in action often go buy their own.

No experience with that particular Rigid tool but I can say the 4/Rigid Power tools I own are fantastic.
Look for something with a continuous duty motor if you want it to last.

I have a 2500 cfm Rigid carpet drying fan like than one, and it has been going strong for 10 years. Their vacuums and fans are top notch
