You can't break a law of physics.
All that electricity running the dehumidifier will be turned to heat.
In addition you will also get heat because as water condenses it releases
the heat it absorbed when it condensed.
You need an A/C because it does the same thing as the dehumidifier and
one more thing, it dumps all that heat outside.
