Again, it's still heating season here (at least at night) and already
the air is too humid.

I'm not sure why anyone would put a dehumidifier in their
garage, as such. A garage can develop some considerable
heat, and the dehumidifier has to try to work against that.
The more the heat, the more humidity the air can hold.
If I were doing it, I'd be putting a window unit in a garage
window space, so that the heat could at least be removed to
the outside. And the more the garage heat, the more the
water that HAS been removed by the "dehumidifier" gets
drawn right back into the ambient hot air in the garage.
Refrigerators in garages often have to labor along a lot
longer, too. They are trying to get rid of their heat by way
of their coils, but the heat around them considerably
slows that process down.
But more effective ventilation may be in order.
And I've got moth balls in my tool boxes in the garage to keep
tools from rusting.
Not here to argue with you about your choices, just reminding
that I would make different ones.

Ummm... could you show me where the air conditioner is in my garage?
it'd be awful nice to turn it on in the summer!

There are several good dehumidifiers. They are called air
conditioners.
You open a vent at the far end of the basement, you have an inch
opening
under the basement door, for the air to make it to the air return.
It's amazing how many people have a dehumidifier running right
alongside
the dehumidifier for the whole house.

OK...
does anyone make a decent dehumidifier anymore? I bought two LG's last
year, one for the basement and one for the garage, the one in the garage
is already dead. Only other brand that I saw on the shelf was
Frigidaire and I actually returned one of those because it ran constantly.
...is there anything out there, or am I stuck with replacing one a year?
