Frigidaire Dehumidifier, High Humidity 50 Pint Capacity, in White

Energy efficiency , similar to wattage, can be misleading. This Frigidaire tested at full and continuous mode, used a little more energy than most of it's competitors. However it was found when used at a more typical setting, maybe 45%, rather than continuous. This machine now used less energy then it's competitors. As far as removing water, it's the best, I researched a lot. I have a Black and decker, same price range, it's lousy compared to this. These machines change almost every year, appearance, or cheapness or improvements. Ex: about 6 years ago, I had the same model Frigidaire and it was best back then, except one thing the water tank was just too small, Well guess what, now this Frigidaire has the biggest water tank of all of them. Also the hot air is less hot then they used to be, it's quieter than it used to be, by a considerable amount, more of a wind sound than a compressor motor sound. I think they actually found a better method, to quiet the compressor ( I'm not positive?) Anyway, it's a great unit. I would even go as far as to call it the industry standard. It removes a lot more water and at a quicker rate. It was the best 6 years ago,( at removing water) and it's a lot better now, all around. Except one drawback, the side slits that can be used for handles are not there, so it's a little harder to pick up, but the wheels are made well. You need not waste time looking further this is the best unit in it's price range, and like I said in the beginning, the energy used on all these products is only measured from one perspective, and perhaps it's not the best perspective. At typical settings this machine is more efficient than its competitors, except when it's measured at full throttle CONTINUOUS mode. And even then, it didn't score a lot less. I did get a lot of this information from, ( I can't remember,) but I also own this unit and have compared for myself.) I believe the competitors will be trying to copy, what Frigidaire has done here. At this price, I would call this product the industry standard! Look no further! Hunter Holmes -- Addendum -- I missed this at first. This unit has a handle that is sort of hidden. A recessed black plastic carrying handle that pulls out from the top of the unit with a 2 inch clearance and it's about 8 inches long. In this price range THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE INDUSTRY STANDARD! HUNTER HOLMES - ADDENDUM #2 - It's been about 3 months, and I still can't believe how quiet this machine is compared to, what was the same unit by FRIGIDAIRE 6 years ago, this current 2023 unit, I mostly hear fan and very little compressor refridgerator noise, the attenuated sound puzzles me in a great way. LOOK NO FURTHER!

Bought this high-end and high capacity unit for my 900SF cellar in the Northeast. The unit failed in 90 days. The coils are iced up and despite multiple de-icings, cleanings, etc the unit does not work.Made a warranty claim and submitted all receipts and other paperwork through the portal on 9/26. Was approved for a replacement in "5-7 business days" per the chatbot (they do not send a confirming e mail so you need to spend an hour contacting customer support). It's 10/9 -- 10+ business days later and still no replacement. Called Frigidaire support again...another three agents and one more hour. The support people are in India and have no way to communicate with shipping. Makes me want to cry.Told them: "just give me my money back and I'll go buy something else" after a couple of weeks. Of course, they cannot do this!If you need a dehumidifier buy another brand. If you want to give away your money, spend hours de-icing and cleaning, spend hours dealing with the Frigidaire corporation "customer support" and have no dehumidified this one is for you.Do not buy this brand.

Out of the box the unit was missing a one wheel. I called the Frigidaire and they didn't want to know me. They said call Amazon. I called Amazon and they said I could return it. I said no, the carbon foot print was going to be too big. The Amazon guy on the phone had me in stitches, very funny guy. He looked for a wheel and in the end gave me a $50 credit. 2 days later I found the exact wheels in a package of 5 on eBay for $8. Call me if you need a wheel. Thank-you Amazon.

I had a smaller dehumidifier in my basement and it didn't have any chance of keeping up with the humidity during the summer months. I finally bought this dehumidifier and it pulled an additional almost twenty per cent of humidity out of the air within the first 24 to 48 hours. It's worth noting that I had both my old dehumidifier and this dehumidifier running at the same time. I think this is a great product though and it definitely moves a lot of air and efficiently removes humidity from any room.

It's a boss. Only used it one day so far, but it pulled 20 pints from the air. We got the 50 pint one for our camper that's 370 square ft, crammed with 5 people, out in the humid mid west summer. My humidity got down to 35% indoors. And 70 to 80% outside.It's not quiet, but I can't say how it compares to others. I had one 20 years ago for a camper and that one was way louder, so they have improved over the years. If I want a towel to dry fast, I just hang it near this baby.As to why I chose this brand, it seemed more powerful, has a handle inside to carry the water pulled from the air, has a handle on top of the unit, rolls easily. I have 3 tiny dehumidifiers each for 700 Sq ft also running. They get drops of water a day, compared to the 20 pints of this one, I don't even need the others anymore. I recommend this for every humid place you don't want mold to grow.Also, if you're sensitive to new plastic smells like I am, I recommend giving it a day or 2 to off-gas the chemicals.
