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 play the double bass. I keep my two basses in a basement-level bedroom with the door closed. Its important to me that the temperature and humidity stay pretty steady. I aim for around 50% relative humidity. This dehumidifier does an excellent job of controlling the relative humidity level in my bass room right around 50%. No matter what the humidity is in the rest of the house, with the door closed, my bass room stays between about 49% and 54% all the time. The unit is quiet on the lowest setting. However, I do turn it off when I am actually practicing the bass. (The white noise level is just loud enough that I have a bit of trouble hearing fine details of the sound when its running.) One thing to be aware of is this: the unit does produce some heat. I have had to get used to practicing with the room temperature between about 79 and 81 degrees Fahrenheit (26-27 Celsius). Its not a problem for my basses, since the temperature is very steady. I hope that during the winter months that room temperature settles in closer to about 21-23 Celsius. Its not a problem as long as the temperature does not shift suddenly; and it doesnt with this unit. [EDIT, October 14, 2022: Now that the outdoor temperatures are generally below 70F / 21C, I do not notice the unit heating up the room at all. It is still pulling moisture out of the air; I have to empty the bucket every couple of days or so.] I am glad I bought the dehumidifier, and Id buy another one in the future. (For what its worth, the first unit delivered by Amazon had a steady leak that resulted in a little puddle on the floor. Since I exchanged for a new unit, I have never had that problem at all.)

I liked that it was quiet and kept the humidity at 50% during the rainy season. I did not like that it iced up last night and began dripping water. I turned it off and removed the filter and cover plate. There was a sheet of ice on the bottom 1/3. I cleaned the filter and waited a few hours until the ice was melted completely and restarted. About an hour later, I checked and Ice had already formed on maybe the bottom 1/4. Ill have to scrap it and find a different brand that hopefully will last longer.

Last summer, my 8 year old dehumidifier started acting up. I was unable to find a new one and so I managed with the old one till it was no longer needed (fall and winter). I saw this dehumidifier on Amazon and purchased it in February, though I wouldnt need one till May (thought they might be sold out by then). In May, when I attempted to use it, I found that the control panel was defective. I was past the date of return to Amazon, but they helped me contact Frigidaire. I described the problem to Frigidaire and they expedited a replacement to me absolutely hassle free. Having used the new unit for about a month, I can say that it performs well and is much quieter than my previous units (45 years experience with them). Thanks to Amazon and Thanks to Frigidaire. Anyone can ship a defective unit, you both made dealing with it easy!

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.

I bought this to dehumidify a poorly ventilated apartment bathroom, and it definitely works. The only downside is that it’s a little noisy, but so long as you don’t have it in the room with you, the sound isn’t obnoxiously loud. I’d definitely recommend this, and do think it’s worth the price.

Holds a lot of water.

Ok. After having it for over a month, here is s summary: 1. The library quite statement is wrong - it is loud! 2. It is not energy efficient. Will add to your monthly electricity bill additional $50. 3. The pump didnt work that great and eventually stopped working.

I live near Portland, OR, and the humidity is always around 75-85% in my apartment. I also have an indoor vegetable garden, which adds to the already high humidity of the area. I was getting mildew on the windows and window sills. I have 3 guitars and 3 basses, 4 amps, and lots of other electronics, recording gear, and a computer. My guitars kept developing fret buzz. Id level the frets and adjust them, get rid of the buzz, then it would come back in a few months. It took me too long to learn that constant exposure to humidity levels like this were destroying the instruments. Gave up on these ruined cheapish guitars and bought one nice expensive guitar. But I got this dehumidifier first. Not gonna let this one get ruined by humidity. It works well, keeps the humidity down to 45%, in the living room of a 1,050 sq ft 2 bedroom apartment. The bucket fills up within 36 hours, usually (about 2 gallons). I use it to water the garden. It turns off when it hits the target humidity, and back on as needed. I had a different dehumidifier first which kept the fan running constantly, even when the dehumidifier was disengaged. And it kept freezing up, grill covered in ice, so I returned it. This one has been running for 3 months now, no ice, no problems, and no noticeable impact to the electric bill. It is a tad loud, but not an irritating abrasive sound. The sound doesnt bother me at all, but when I watch TV I like to keep the volume as low as possible, so I have to turn the dehumidifier off. To hear the TV with the dehumidifier on, I have to put it louder than I like, but not any louder than most people I know have their TVs set normally.

This unit works really well - it gets my humidity down to under 40%. I live in a studio so I had hoped it would be quieter - it’s like a loud white noise machine.

I cannot stress enough what a great unit this is. It was purchased as a replacement (same brand) for the dehumidifier we had for 15 years! Thank you, Frigidaire!
