Literally just set a deal alert for dehumidifiers 2 days ago. Thanks OP! Think I'll give this one a try. This deal seems to come around every few months, so lots of good info in previous deal posts for this model. As spring/summer approaches, I would expect to see more dehumidifier deals, but this is just as good as any IMO, so might as well pull the trigger. FYI, FWIW I read in a previous post that this model is actually made by Midea, which is the same company that makes Keystone, which is one of the highest rated brands on Consumer Reports.

Are these good to put in the shower or they don't work that fast? Otherwise now that it's cold I've been doing the opposite and running the humidifiers

This is more for a basement. For a bathroom you need something much smaller than 50 pint. ( smaller will be much cheaper too)

I'm sorry, your question isn't clear, but if you are asking if this would be good for lowering humidity in a bathroom, then yes, for sure, but its probably more powerful than you need for an average size bathroom, unless for some reason you have an extreme situation (e.g. bathroom is in the basement in south Florida), but more powerful than you need isn't a bad thing if you aren't paying for that extra power. There are of course smaller models (e.g., 35 pints), but for $150 this is a decent deal for a 50-pint name brand model.

But do those smaller units work fast enough? We have a bathroom with no air vent so wondering if this was an option.
I suppose it will depend on the small model size, and how fast is "fast enough." if your goal is to step out of the shower to a non-foggy mirror, then I'm not sure. Take a look at its specs on the website and look at volume of water per hour it removes, and then make an educated guess.
Note though: This unit is very large--like a 13 gal trashcan only very heavy, and its fan puts out a decent amount of noise and heat. If you have a large bathroom, and you don't mind the noise, go for it. But definitely look at the specs first.

the bathroom is tiny and gets crazy steamy when the kids take showers. It really needs a vent but no money to do that right now.

If it's tiny, I think you'll be dissatisfied with this unit. I would look for a 20-30 pint model, maybe even smaller, and just look at the volume per hour in the specs. Maybe even Google a model that looks promising plus "shower" and see if someone has tried it out.
This dehumidifier lacks a pump, limiting you to manually emptying the tank or passively sending the water down a floor drain (e.g., sump pump basin). Works fine for my application, but just an FYI.

It would be cheaper to make your kids take cold showers.
I don't know if this can dehumidify as fast as a hot shower produces steam. I would expect it to be able to clear the steam out of the room fairly fast though. You might just need to run it for 5-10 minutes after the shower. Couple of things to be aware of though:
1.) Larger dehumidifiers use a lot of energy, so depending on how often you run it, you'll likely notice notice an increase in your utility bill. In the long run it might be actually be cheaper to install a shower vent. That's usually not complicated thing to do, especially if you have an attic. Sorry if you already know all this.
2.) Secondly, these produce a fair amount of heat. That could be a good thing on a cold day, but something for you to consider.
I got this last year at this price. During the summer it gets muggy af by me and this made it a lot more comfortable running pretty much 2 months straight (automatically shuts on and off for set humidity %). It does work to dehumidify your bathroom, but it also the air that is being displaced is warm / hot as they all do. This can NOT replace air conditioning, and will only make it dryer and hotter. I have been creative where I put it to get maximum air flow and dissipate the hot air. Be sure to dump it often and pop open the drawer to avoid mold / mildew. A diluted vinegar rinse and rinsing off the filter is all you should need otherwise. Speaking of the drawer, it is a lot more finicky to lock in place that others I have used. That is my main issue with this unit. Otherwise it works as expected and for this price I am happy to have a larger unit because on humid summer days I would dump it 2-3 times. Also wheels are awesome!

Anyone know how to get the BGE $30 instant discount on this model? I verified that it's a qualifying model. They changed their rebate program effective Jan. 1, 2021. They offer an instant discount at time of purchase instead of a mail-in rebate. Their page doesn't explain how to get the instant discount. Maybe because it's so new, retailers aren't set up to support the program?

If you decide to go the dehumidifier route for your bathroom, I would seriously consider trying a much cheaper and compact unit for smaller rooms, like one of these:
