Would this help with a moldy 2-car garage?

Assume I've done everything else humanly possible to solve the problem. Thanks

It will certainly help, but as someone else mentioned, it's possible that it will run non-stop. I would suggest determining the root cause of the excessive moisture in your garage, particularly if the relative humidity level in your garage is - on average - higher than the relative humidity outside. If your garage is typically the same humidity level as outside, I wouldn't read much further below.

Concrete can absorb and release very high amounts of moisture, to determine how much is coming from your floor, you can seal tape down a square of clear poly plastic (seal/tape all four sides) on the floor (slab) let sit for overnight or so, then visually inspect how much moisture has accumulated between the plastic and the slab.

If there is a high amount of water droplets built up, you may first start by making sure that you have positive drainage away from the building, and that your gutters are properly collecting roof runoff (not leaking) and diverting that runoff as far away from the building as possible via downspouts.

Keep in mind, if your garage doesn't have an interior ceiling (exposed open roof purlins) and is vented via soffit/gable vents, a dehumidifier will not achieve much.

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

I personally wouldn't recommend a dehumidifier for this application. These are really not designed to remove that much moisture over that short amount of time. While it will certainly help remove moisture from the air, I feel it would be not the most cost effective solution.

These are really designed to run and make small adjustments to an entire rooms RH level, not quick abrupt adjustments. They are intended to turn on/off (similar to a thermostat) multiple times a day to maintain a desired RH level. For example, turning on to drop the RH from 57% to 55%.

Bathroom fans don't do any active conditioning or drying of air, they simply (attempt to) create a slightly lower pressure in the bathroom, which draws fresh (drier) air in through leaks, primarily space under your bathroom door. This subsequently exhausts the warm humid air outside and replaces it with air from the rest of your home. This way that warm humid air doesn't condense when it hits your "cold" mirror!

Hope that helps.

Quote from rijones :
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.
I have found a way around this. I drain my dehumidifier into a condensate pump, which pumps the water into my washing machine drain in my basement laundry room. New condensate pumps are under $50. Fortunately, I had an extra, since I had upgraded my 2 condensate pumps a couple of years back and hung onto one of the older ones.

I bought this last year for the same sale price. This is a decent unit that is used in my basement. Couldn't agree more about how loud this thing and could get annoying if it's near a high usage area in a home. Like anything else, if it I get 3 years out of it then that'll exceed my expectations.

I'm not sure how the ones with built in pumps work, but if you have this somewhere where a drain isn't close, or it cannot drain with gravity, then you need a pump to get the water there. I have one of these and bought a separate pump. It beats having to empty out the container over and over again.
Thanks. I would be placing this about 6 feet away from a floor drain so I guess no pump is necessary.

This is more for a basement. For a bathroom you need something much smaller than 50 pint. ( smaller will be much cheaper too)
Most dehumidifiers won't work very good in a basement. You need to get a "basmement dehumidifier" that is designed to work in lower temperatures.

Not trolling. Is what I did. Working well. My house burned down in 2016 and I was homeless for 2 years with my wife and newborn. $80 in extra precautions here is fine to me.

What if fire when not home? Same as if fire anywhere else and not home. This time, smart house, so I am aware of everything going on around it.
Sorry to hear. I bought a new dehumidifier and cleaned up and fixed an old one we had here that was running 24/7 doing nothing due to dust. While I was researching it, I had found a model that was prone to fires so I understand and agree with the concern.

Great advice. Also, remember that your house is likely just a hole in the ground surrounded by ancient dirt / clay. That means you can think of your house as a bowl that takes all the surrounding water and puts it all under your slab. If you follow this advice, then you're directing the water outside of this bowl and onto hardened soil / clay / rock giving it more of a chance to make it go anywhere but your basement slab.

Does this unit use a standard garden hose for continuous draining? The manual lists using a 5/16" hose, which left me scratching my head.
