I resisted for a long time because it's one more thing that uses electricity ( no where near an a/c unit but still > 300 watts). Another downside is that part of the de-humidification process raises the output air temp a couple degress. Since I shut down my flower space during hotter months no biggie.
One thing to keep in mind about both Baking Soda & Potassium Bicarbonate is that
they can fu@k up your burn if used during flowering. They are both used in some fire extinguishers.
This is great for the winter! I cant use an A/C in the winter, too cold...
What brand did you get?
