I’ve read every single manual on the Internet and I still don’t understand what the difference is. I’ve also used both settings and don’t see much difference. When I use dry, the room cools off, but the machine will shut down and turn back on which I find very annoying. When I use cool the room, the room will cool but the machine stays on.
It’s currently nighttime with the 70° temperature outside in the 71% humidity. WWYD right now, for example?

The dry setting is going to act as a dehumidifier for inside. It doesn’t matter how humid it is OUTSIDE – it will dry out the INSIDE of your home.
I always avoid it for the most part because it tends to dry out the home rather quickly and causes me to cough or irritates my skin. Cool works great! It doesn’t shut off as often because it’s not trying to manage the humidity inside in addition to cooling – it’s only worried about the temperature.
Edit: you can always get a super cheap digital thermometer to see how humid it is inside your home and the actual temperature inside each room if you’re worried about either.
