Looking for a dehumidifier for a 28 TE. I need one that can drain into the sink so I don't have to empty it.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance

I have two of these. CONOPU Dehumidifier, 2300ML Dehumidifiers for Home 500 Sq.ft, Dual Semiconductors Technology, LED Lights, Auto-Defrost, Auto-Off, 3 Modes Humidity Control, Dehumidifiers for Drying Clothes, White https://amzn.eu/d/cQ8zb4Q
I went for this type as smaller units tend to freeze up below 10°c. With regards to draining you could just put a small hole with a gromit and a tube running to the sink. I have one in the heads and one in the main cabin. Seems to do the job and usually takes about ten days to fill as they have humidity control in the auto mode. I get a small amount of mildew in areas over the top of the cupboards, around windows and right at the stern end of the small berth. Nothing a ready to use kitchen wipe with bleach doesn’t keep at bay for a few months.
I will say my wet weather clothing stays on the boat and doesn’t help the situation but after a day this is all dry with both of these running.
