I have an ecm motor but it still doesn't run at a slow enough speed well not what I want it to run at. No problems with moisture removal. Sitting at 45% except for for a few minutes after someone takes after shower. Not everything gets pulled out with a fart fan and the outside air you are pulling in has allot of moisture.
I'm not the biggest fan of ecm motors as they do fail allot more than traditional motors and some are a $500 motor... Basically buy a new furnace price... Ecm motors also have false start issues as well. Some will have trouble starting to and go through the starting sequence 2 to 3 times before it starts.

For houses that have moisture issues it's recommended to use a dehumidifier instead of relying on the ac to do it all.
