Default Dehumidifier--multiple? Whole-House?

What are the pros and cons of a whole-house dehumidifier vs.
individual models in the rooms that need it?

And of the whole-house models, has anyone had any experience with the
Wave system (which is more a ventilating than dehumidifying device)?


Having had both, I would vote for the whole house solution. I
admittedly have lost track of what a dedicated whole house system
costs but I would guess it would compete with purchase and maintenance
of several room-sized. Besides, unless you can drain the individuals
to convenient floor drain or similar solution, they will keep you busy
dumping the buckets. We Have two pretty hefty portables in the museum
where I volunteer and during spring and summer we dump about two
gallons from both daily; and sometimes dump twice a day.
