Funny story...
I have been thinking about buying one from HD to see if it works. The problem I think I'm having with these is that I know they're not designed to run all of the time as you mentioned. I'd say that I normally go in my shop at night (and ocassionally during the day for an hour or so. I was thinking that it might not be a good thing to shut it down and basically have radical temperature and humidity (could control with a de-humidifier I guess) swings...as opposed to having an efficient unit that could stay at a moderate setting on the temp, control the humidity, and when I go in the shop, I could crank it up a few degrees to chill it down a bit more if desired. Maybe I'm overthinking the importance of that (I am guilty of that from time to time )???
