The dehumidifier is used in a basement that does not have windows or an outside door. I have used 4 other brands with nothing but disappointment. This Frigidaire reduced the humidity to 50 in 2 days. I sometimes find it in the off position. I rate it excellent. The other brands POOR.

I bought this unit to dehumidify a newly built house that had been open to the elements for a damp spring and early summer. It took some time, but this unit is a workhorse and all of the contents of the house and structure itself dried out nicely over a could weeks. The ability to change quickly between contain collection and direct discharge via a hose if very convenient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in the middle of September when the rain kept this area so humid. It has done a great job. It has done twice the job of our old dehumidifier, and is a little more quiet too. We are happy with the purchase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago and it works great! It is quiet when running and has the capacity that it only needs to be emptied once a day. It has a timer function as well as a continuous running option. Overall a great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The air in my home is significantly dryer and I sleep better. In the beginning I had to empty the bucket 3 to 4 times a day. Now it's much less. It's the best investment I ever made for my health. Have not had any problems with it. I chose the 50 pt. because the bucket is not as heavy when I remove it to empty. I am a senior citizen and when I go for my morning runs, I have more energy and breathe better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old dehumidifier did not collect water since last year, I have to buy new one. After doing a lot research, I pick this model. Its operation is pretty simple , works very well and collects water at my basement. I love it. Another reason why I buy this is it comes with 1-year limited warranty and 5 year warranty on the sealed system.

I put it in a finished basement. On 'continuous' I emptied it twice a day. When set at 50% it runs about the same. Haven't tried attaching an external hose yet. The bucket handle is a nice feature that I didn't notice at first, but you have to almost remove the bucket entirely(making the bucket a bit tippy) before you can use it. The bucket has a bit to much plastic in it for my comfort. I worry that I might break it if I push to hard/crookedly when I reinstall it. Keypad switches are easy to use. It has both a carrying handle and wheels, which is nice, but the handle is a bit flimsy (plastic also). The fan is a little louder than I would like, but it does draw a lot of air thru it , which is good because it draws air in from the whole room. I would recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the dehumidifier in my finished basement for one month. I have a hose connected and the water is going to a sump well. The humidistat is set at 50%. The unit operates at a low noise level, with the fan cycling on and off. I am happy with my choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dehumidifier has an easy to use drain system that connects directly to the unit itself. You unscrew the cap and directly attach the continuous drain hose to it. I've used other dehumidifiers in the past that had straws or other sketchy attachment methods, but the Frigidaire eliminates that fiddling. It's quiet on operation and effective at its job. I would have liked to see a read out of the current humidity next to the currently set humidity, but that was something I accepted as a limitation when I bought this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few months ago and it did a great job helping my flooded basment carpet dry up. Though I couldn't save the carpet, this along with some other dehumidifiers did help stop the wetness from spreading. I now have it running solo in my basement and empty it every few days, which I feel is cutting down the mositure in the air.
