22-11-2024My 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!

> 3 dayI like that it is doing the job but I like to turn it off to emply the tank but once it fills up completely the On / Off Does Nothing unless you unplug the Unit. If you catch it before it does shut down you can slect and turn it off. Otherwise it does not shut off using the Power button when Full.

> 3 dayThis is an easy to use and very efficient unit. I love the mobility of this unit by the wheels. This is the only dehumidifier that I saw when I was shopping that had wheels and they are really a must have for me. The tank is also easy to manage (I am 70 yrs old). The filter is also easy to clean and reassimble. I cant think of any possible improvements that would make this unit better. Thank you Fridgidaire for a well designed and thought out, and well made product. It has really benifitted my health!

> 3 dayI share a house with my sister, I live down in the basement and we had a big storm that dumped a lot of water and well of course the sump pump went out causing flooding in my sanctuary. After the clean up I was dealing with 86% humidity, I bought this right afterwards and it was the best purchase. This is an older home and the basement only has a few outlets so I bought an air conditioning extension cord and I have had no problems. It is pretty heavy so getting it out of the box by myself was a slight struggle but other then that it is easy to move from room to room with the wheels. I use the bucket option and there is a handle which helps you carry it to the sink or toilet. as stated in the description it does hold 50 pints or about 6 gallons of water. I will say sometimes when removing the bucket water does dribble down from the machine, I shut it down leave alone for a few mins then dump the bucket I think this allows whatever moisture is still in the machine to go down. Noise level its not super loud but there is still puts off a air conditioning type sound, where you need to turn the TV or speakers up to drown it out, but its not annoying and I have slept through it with no issues. Overall worth the price and good machine.

> 3 dayLove everything about this new purchase except, it wont shutoff once desired humidity is reached… Somehow I must have missed that or, did not notice that the auto shutoff pertains to a full bucket and not to the programmed humidity level. Regretting the purchase because of that missing important feature.

> 3 dayBeen 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.

Greater than one weekThis Fridigare dehumidifier works well. I don’t leave it running 24/7 and just turn it on before I shower. I wish it had an auto on off feature, where it would completely shut off at a set humidity and then automatically turn on at a set humidity. The buttons are a little difficult to press. Hope this unit holds up. Overall, it does its job and isn’t too loud.

> 3 dayMy older dehumidifier keep freezing over and never got the basement below 45%. I installed the Frigidaire 50 Pint Dehumidifier, using the continuous drain configuration, let it run continuously for 48 hours, then set the unit to 40% auto. Humidity has been holding at 35% as checked with a separate humidity monitor and the unit is not constantly running. Controls are easy, as is cleanable filter and it is not noisy at all.
