Dehumidifiers

[dpg]

Have the need to control some dampness in a semi-finished basement and the home is not a fulltime residence so attending to and emptying buckets of water isn't an option. Are there any other options that maybe some folks are using? I know I can either run a hose outside or to a sink however is there anything else that would run on its own that could be placed in the middle of a room? Where I'd like to place one will be a distance from walls and not close to a bathroom. I'd consider a larger "full basement" system if the price was reasonable (less than say 2-K) I'm just not sure what's even out there.
