I thought dehumidifiers were inherently designed *not* to ice up!
Otherwise, you'd be just as well off w/ a window A/C brought inside the
room!
Which I've tried, but guess what, it iced up in the cooler weather!

I will strongly recommend that you start with the use you need it for.
Basement or other locations that may be cool need a model designed for
those locations. Many people (including myself before I found out)
assume that a dehumidifier will work in any normal location like a
basement which is of course a very common place for them. The problem is
they will ice up. There are some models designed for those locations, if
you have such a location be sure to buy one designed for it.

No they are not. Nor would most window A/C's be of much use as most
current models are designed to evaporate the condensation one the warm
condensing coils gaining efficiency and reducing or eliminating the dripping
from them.

For example I just checked Home Depot and they had two listed. The
first and most expensive indicated an operating temp range of 40 degree and
higher. The cheaper model indicated it was suitable for "living areas" with
no mention of operating temperatures. Guess which one is going to freeze
up?
