Room Dehumidifiers

[Don Rose]

Hi Thomas,

No question room dehumidifiers work....but they are *very* noisy devils...so
the first thing that happens is they get turned off. And then of
course...the person forgets to turn them on again. They are also *not*
cheap...and they *do* require attention on an almost daily basis for
emptying the tray.
