Do those box dehumidifiers work well?

Or should I just spend the money on a small electric dehumifier?

God damn it's hot already!

Depends on why you need it.

If you want to keep your apartment dry AND cool, get an air conditioner.
If you want to keep your apartment dry and warm, get a dehumidifier.

A dehumidifier will use up a decent amount of electricity, and it puts off heat - enough heat that it will warm the room up by a few degrees if you leave it running long term.

Those hippo containers are for putting into closets and confined spaces to keep the moisture down. They have that specific purpose. I would not recommend using them to keep the whole place dry.

I use them, they work well in small spaces. Don't expect them to work the whole room.

All the above posts are sound and solid. I have nothing to add.
