We've found (several people with whom I've asked with classic cars) in hot & humid South Texas that a cheap window A/C uses not so much more electricity than a fair sized dehumidifier with the benefit of cooling the room (attached garage, not basement as we have none here). Drawback is wall-mount (cut hole).
I empty better than 2-gls day from my portable garage dehumidifier at present. Garage door not in use.
