Dehumidifier Settings?

[Devil505]

I have a Sears Kenmore 70 pint dehumidifier with electronic controls. I am wondering what setting (shown in %) would be good to leave it on where it will dehumidfy to a comfortable degree but not waste $$$ on lowering the humidity beyond comfort levels. (it has a settings range of from 35% to 70%)

45% - 50% should be good!

My Frigidaire 50-pint has a range setting of 50-70%. It assumes 60% as an average setting. I've heard 60% is minimum to prevent mold. So wouldn't 60% be sufficient?

NO! It could be 60% at the unit but 70% at other side of room. Plus the lower the RH the cooler it will fill.
