recommend a 500W dehumidifier ?

[tgw]

Which dehumidifier models of approx. 500W are adequate for permanent long term use, especially in regard to reliability ?

500W seems ok for the area I want to dry.

Drain pipe exhaust is necessary and I would like it to have a humidity sensor so it can switch on/off  by itself.

What is your experience ?

You are better advised to look for the litres per day specification, though it will never actually achieve it, mine is rated at 45 litres per day and 700w

you are right - I found one 250W that does 30l per day.

however, the reliability question remains.

Mine is classed as industrial or commercial, it wasn’t cheap in any form however it just runs and has done so for the last few years and I expect it to continue to do so. Price is your best guide.
