I am looking into installing a dehumidifier into a bedroom (~250 sq
f?). Thus, I need it quiet, and I also would like it to be able to go
down to 25% RH. Since the room is quite small I am hoping to find a
unit that can do the job w/o making too much noise. But I am having
hard time finding humidity range in specs for units sold online. Can
anyone make a suggestion? Derby is advertised as the quietest, but it
only goes down to 35% RH. I guess anything above 60 Db is noisy (Derby
is 50 db).

25% is unnaturally dry and not good for people or furnature. Why do you want to
go so low?

Buy a chemical tent dehumidifier.

Thanks a lot for the responses. Interestingly, I called EBAC, and they
also recommended a dehumidifier based on a chemical absorbent.

I am trying to create a desert-like atmosphere in my bedroom. 25% is
not that low: the air in mountain regions and deserts is much dier.
E.g. the weather forecast in Bishop, CA for today claimed 13%
humidity.My asthma gets much better in the desert and in the mountains.

In addition, I found that dessicant-based DHs generate excessive heat.
In principle, I could make an exhaust system to drive the heat outside
of my room... This way I could also avoid having to dump the water.
