Frigidaire FFAD3533W1 Dehumidifier, Moderate Humidity 35 Pint Capacity with a Easy-to-Clean Washable Filter and Custom Humidity Control for maximized comfort, in White

I was a bit concerned because it looked like a mix of reviews, but I found the unit worked incredibly well (in fact, I ended up turning it to 55% because at 45% I felt the moisture pulling out of my body when I walked in the garage. TOO dry! The unit seems quiet to me, certainly not loud, but I do keep the fan on medium, not high. Its in my garage. I cant imagine being bothered by the sounds. It is more like a very small window A/C unit, not even that noisy. (I had been using Dampits and the bag took a month to fill, so I figured I really didnt have a humidity problem. But I noticed some mildew smells from some old cases I put in the garage, and when I saw some white mold on a sheet of plywood, I knew something was wrong. I turned on this unit, sprayed the plywood and cases with a mold disinfectant, wiped with paper towels, and the next day everything was bone dry, no trace of mold or mildew, and the plywood even turn lighter and flattened out. The tank had over a gallon of water in it. ONE night! So much for the Dampits. I kept things at 45% for a few days, went over everything in the garage with mold remover spray, etc., and I could tell that everything was getting dried out nicely. I had a bunch of cardboard boxes stored in there and you could feel that mushy-sogginess that was then light and crisp and felt new. Yes, this works extremely well. As I said, I found that 55% was a better setting for ongoing use, and the medium fan setting. I still havent set up the hose for automatic emptying, but now I only have to empty every other day, sometimes every 3rd day, depending on the outside humidity. At some point I will establish a permanent place for the unit and run the hose through the wall. I expect that the unit probably wont turn on much in the fall and winter months, mainly need this for late spring and summer, early fall. (Btw, it is gravity feed for the hose, but the connection is in the middle of the back of the unit, so there is some height that allows me to put the hole through the wall above the 8 concrete block height on top of my slab that my walls rise from.) There is a filter that you will be reminded to clean, but I really havent noticed it getting dirty. But my garage is quite new, so maybe it will get dirtier in other situation. Regardless, it washes out quite easily.

My husband and I recently bought a new house that happened to be built in the 1940s. Lots of things were done differently back then and some things were not invented or commonly used yet, such as a vapor barrier for the foundation. As a result the partially finished basement felt gross. Despite being the coldest place in the house, the way your skin would almost feel wet just walking down there made it uninhabitable. I had never had a dehumidifier, but I thought this must be what they are for and did a ton of research to land on this model. The rooms in nearly the whole basement felt completely different after even a day and after a few days it was completely comfortable to hang out in. I was planning on using the basement for my office and I was worried that I wouldnt be able to use it, but this Dehumidifier not only fixed the office itself but even the larger den area outside the room. Pros: - Pulls an unimaginable amount of moisture out of the air, it honestly astonishes me how much water ends up in the bucket. - Works for a surprisingly large amount of space (Nearly the entire basement for me) - Design looks pleasing to the eye - Easy UI and setup Cons: - Relatively loud - Creates a lot of heat, my basement is no longer the coolest part of the house(worth it to me) - While being able to hook up a hose is convenient, it will not drain into a utility sink. I am fairly sure it just isnt able to force it up the hose and just uses gravity. If you have a floor drain for it to go into this would not be a problem though. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and glad it solved my problem so quickly!

I need a dehumidifier for my upstairs where there is no available drain and therefore need a unit with a built-in pump so that the hose can be run out the window. I purchased this model based upon Amazons chart comparing the various models of Frigidaire dehumidifiers, which at the time of this review still checks the box indicating that the model has a built-in pump. In fact, this model does NOT have a built-in pump! I have had to return it and purchase the only model that comes with a pump, which is a bit smaller. That being said, this is a nicely styled, high quality unit. I have a 70-gallon Frigidaire unit (no longer available) in my basement that has worked perfectly for two years already and can vouch for Frigidaires quality and quiet motor. I expect that this one would be excellent as well.

I have the dehumidifier in a damp basement and use the hose connection to dump the water into a sump so I never need to empty it. The unit does a great job of keeping the large basement at about 40% humidity. It is pretty quiet unless you set the fan speed to max. I would buy this unit again.

Been using it for over a month and it is doing a really great job. Have a drain hose run into the sink and it’s doing wonderful job. Have the humidity level set and it’s maintaining nicely.

I have both the 50 pint and 60 pint units. Looking at price its understandable that the 50 pint may be considered a better value. But the 60 pint is much more efficient. Frigidaire has chosen to not highlight this difference, perhaps for concern about making their less expensive models seem inefficient. The 60 pint is twice the size and weight of the 50. It is rated at removing 2.8 liters per kWh of electricity used. The 50 pint is rated at 1.8 liters/kWh. The 60 pint also is the quietest dehumidifier I have owned at the lower of the two fan speeds. My meter shows the 60 pint running on high at 488 watts, and the 50 at 638 watts. The 60 pint isnt better if its oversized for the need. It is appropriate for dehumidifying a larger, wetter space. I rate it four stars because of unknown reliability.

We live in the steamy south and must use dehumidifiers 4-5 months during high humidity. We have bought about a dozen over the years and they had very short life spans. We bought the grandfather of this one about 8 years ago. The frivolous piece of plastic holding the handle on the bucket finally broke and we replaced it with the updated model. It is the best we have used. Puts out less heat, and is quieter; on rollers for easy moving. I downgraded it one star because the collection bucket is a bit clumsy to empty. It is heavy and has no inkling of a spout. I recommend this product despite that shortcoming. For the record I paid $239 for this unit exactly two months ago today. As I write this the price is $340.

Does a great job

Used for humid Indiana summer. Dries quickly, have to empty reservoir twice daily, pretty easy to do, not prone to spilling. Noise (on low fan): you wont notice in a busy house, but youll hear it at night from 30 ft away through walls. When dewpoints are in the 70s my electric bill jumped 200 kWh over same time last year(one occupant in house). But, aah, the comfort. Towels, laundry and dishes dry quickly. I have less trouble with outdoor chores in humid weather when Ive been indoors for a while. If you can tolerate the increased electric bill, the increase in comfort is very substantial. FYI - Im 67 and male.

Perfect Engineering, perfect user interfaces, perfectly packed, works great! I set my desired humidity level and it just goes to work and brings the humidify down! RH was 80% outside yet inside my previously damp basement it was 40% in less than a day and has stayed 40% ever since. Great product and very inexpensive for the performance and features.
