It's probably relative to how much humidity there is where you are. I'm in a very humid area, and I have humidity sensors. Leaving an AC unit on dry mode in a small room does basically nothing - at most it will shift humidity by a few percentage points. Meanwhile if I use the actual dehumidifier I can drop from 85-90% down to 65%. If I turn the machine off for a few hours (or move it to another room) it'll be back up in no time.
