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

Right now its working fine, but it still was not made in the USA like it was stated when I picked it out. Not happy with the false advertising

Worked fine for about one week. Then it developed a consistent rattle that we just could not endure. Might have just been the unit we got. Otherwise it worked great. Amazon allowed us to return it!

I have a 35 pint for my 1300 square foot apartment, and a 50 pint version for the apartment complex I am a maintenance manager in. They are fairly quiet, but importantly the hum is white noise that I actually admire for rest/sleep. Never had a problem with either of them, and they eliminate humidity at the recommended levels shown. Pro: - The reservoir doesnt fill too fast, and design for pouring + shutoff + indicator + design as a whole is extremely professional and impressive. - You can see the built in humidity monitor (for the room), Set point can be from < 85% room humidity ↔ 30%-which is full capacity dehumidifying >. - only takes up 1 outlet spot (2 if you put it on the top one) - continuous operation very important - Disappearing (telecopes into top plane of unit) handle from the top for manueaverability + casters (wheels w/ lock) built in for easy movement - Bucket slides out very well to avoid spilling CONS: - bucket fill level could be more like 15%→full, but it shows more like 40% fill → 100% fill - a spot to put the instruction manual on the unit (engineer brain) 5/5 and gets the § DESIGN SEAL OF APPROVAL §

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.

Updated Review (August 2022): The dehumidifier has not leaked since that first day and works well. This newer Frigidaire is not as effective and not as hardy as my old Frigidaire... but its more quiet. I live in a one bedroom apartment, so not having to listen to how loud my old one was is making it ok that this fills up twice as slow, despite it being same cost and same size as my old one. So, Im happy with it and am keeping it. :) I ended up giving it 3 stars but it really deserves almost 4... its honestly probably still be4tter than a lot of dehumidifiers out there, just the decline in quality, how the bucket swings to and fro and feels like I would smash it if I accidentally tripped, compared to my hardy old Frigidare one, but it still costing over $200 is why Im just giving it the 3. Original Review (July 2022): I had my last Frigidaire dehumidifier for 4 years before giving it to my parents and buying myself a new one. I’ve had it plugged in about 8 hours and it’s left just as much water on the floor as it has collected in the bucket. The bucket doesn’t seem to be leaking, and neither is the drain outlet. This was HEAVY to drag from my landlady’s house up to my back house. lol. I’m so bummed I have to return it.

Seems well built. Attractive and works!

Replaced an old, larger unit with this one and wow is it quieter. I could hear the other one a whole floor away, but I don’t even realize this one is running. I don’t think I’d want to try sleeping in a room with it (no, it’s not that quiet), but you can definitely have a telephone conversation in the next room over without shouting. The unit shuts off properly when the bin is full. Any problem with that would be a definite deal-breaker for me because who wants to worry about a puddle forming in the basement. If you live in a very humid environment, you might want a unit larger capacity tank or to drain this one directly into a drain. However, I’ve never had it fill up completely while I’ve been out of the house. Affordable, quiet, and reliable.

Its the real deal for a real steal in price. It keeps my basement comfortable and at or below 50% humidity. I will buy another one the second this one wears out. The company that waterproofed my basement had a huge unit that gave up the ghost. Like to nearly killed me getting it out of the basement up the stairs, you get my drift. They wanted me to buy one from them for $4,800.00, when hades freezes over. So I bought this Frigidaire and smiled all the way to the bank. When it dies of old age I intend to buy another just like it. It keeps the basement at or below 50% humidity and that is good enough for me.

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.

purchased direct from Frigidaire. The controls for this unit are somewhat restrictive. It starts on the Continuous function, during which you cant see the relative humidity display. The humidity control has a range of 35-60. You cannot go higher, and below 35 is Continuous mode. I set the speed to low. The fan is quite powerful. The unit draws air through the back and blows it through its right, or your left. Can kind of be rotated if you dont like that. Being a refrigerant dehmidifier, it does generate quite a bit of heat. I really liked the water storage tank. The handle makes it easy to carry, and it didnt feel heavy. There are a number of openings through which you can pour the water, but this also means that the tank can release water back into the atmosphere when the unit isnt in operation. The unit will flash the full light whenever the limit switch is open, including when you remove the tank, which is nice and annoying at the same time. The tank holding compartment design is where it fails. There is a tank retaining clip and it is FRAGILE. Ive only removed the tank about 4 times, and on that 4th time, I couldnt get the tank to snap in. The left side would pop out slightly, and it was loose. Upon inspection, there was a shiny clip below the tank limit switch that seemed to have bent when I pushed the tank into it. I am not sure what its original form is, but it seemed like it was attached to the top of the cube part, and it had broken off when the tank was lifted(during removal). This caused the shiny piece to drop down, where before it was in a semi-horizontal triangle. Fortunately, I was able to fix it. This involves manually bending the clip around until the top JUST rests on top of the cube, and the middle has to have enough bend to allow the bottom to clear the limit switch, shown in picture. If it does not clear the switch, the unit will not stop if it overflows. If youre unable to do this, I hypothesize that itd be possible to put tape on the top of the cube and attach it to the end of the clip so that it normally rests in a horizontal position.
