My mom has a big dehumidifier in her basement.
A guy comes and does maintenance on it twice a year, along with the AC.
He once told me that it was likely to burn out in a couple of years because it was spec'd way under the requirements for a house that size. He said everyone gets dehumidifiers that are too small and then they work too hard and they clog (not sure that clogging is related to working too hard) and that's why they die young.
I know next to nothing about these devices, so can't say whether he was bullsh!tting.
