I have a small dehumidifier that will fit in the sink.  The water
reservoir has a float that is supposed to turn off the dehumidifier
when the reservoir is full - I tape that down so it won't shut the
thing off.  Since I leave the dehumidifier in the sink, if it
overflows, the water just goes down the drain.
