With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which controls the spend. No need to leave it on full all day.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?

How quickly will it dry my room?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Oakridge may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: dry the air and the black spots in Oakridge stop spreading.
