I don't have a big problem with humidity but it gets a bit dry at times. I normally run a small humidifier and since my shop is relatively small (2 car garage) it works fine.

Are there any small units that humidify or dehumidify as needed? a 2 in 1 type of a deal?

Thanks

I was  thinking the same thing, and have been looking, but have found nothing that does both.  There may be something out there, but it may be cost prohibitive (I speak only for myself on that.)  Seems like one of those allergy related air sites might have something that will keep a constant humidity for people with severe breathing problems or something. I've seen humidifiers on those sites, but they are all expensive.

Hey Robert! That's it.  Really not a bad price either, considering that you'd pay, probably, 60 - 80 bucks for a really automatic humidifier, and another 150 - 200 for a really automatic de-humidifier.  I wonder how it would stand up to the rigors of a shop environment?  It has a good long warranty.  Would shop use void it?

Good Find!
