Dehumidifiers are MORE than 100% efficient as heaters, as latent heat
pumps, since removing water vapor from air adds heat. I measured
a 1.6 COP with a power meter and a measuring cup.

So you're saying a dehumidifier that consumes 800 watts of energy is
providing more than 800 watts of heat?

Yes. If it's like the one I measured, it would provide 1.6x800 = 1280
watts.

BULL****!!!!

Do you believe a 500 watt air conditioner can move 1500 watts of heat? :-)

It's time to admit you are wrong and apologize for your arrogance.

With an air conditioner the condenser is OUTSIDE.

With a portable dehumidifier, the condenser is INSIDE.

Big difference and the unit is NOT creating more heat then it's using,
PERIOD!
