Default Dehumidifier recommendation?

Thanks to all for the recommendations. The LG does sound like it would
do what I want, but I can't find any locally. I found a Soleus on
iallergy.com that sound like it has what I need and free shipping. I've
also seen several online and on eBay (I think mostly remanufactured).
I'm leery of them if only because if they don't work, it'd cost so much
to return them. I swung by Sears and they have a Kenmore that does what
I want. It's about $12 more than the soleus, but ease of pickup and
return may offset that. I don't really care about noise since the house
is empty... and I figure I'll throw the dehumidifier in with the house
for good measure. My new house doesn't even have a basement.

BTW, I looked again and I don't have a floor drain. I think there used
to be one, but there is now a pipe going from the stand pipe where the
washing machine drains, that goes directly into the floor, so I'm
assuming that was the drain once upon a time. That's why running it into
the shower stall is tempting; otherwise I need a pump to drain it
uphill. (Unless I sit it on top of the bar, which would be tres
attractive G).


The LG is available at Home Depot, much as it hurts me to recommend
setting foot in that awful place.
