[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's a design flaw in these that the coils and bucket that fills with water gets mold in them and there's no way to access either to clean It out. We bought it to put in a well air conditioned home in our bathroom and it wasn't 8 months and we couldn't stand the smell anymore. The main reason we bought it was to make sure we didn't get any mold in our master bath and that thing produced it's own mold problems. In defense of Frigidaire, we contacted them, they were very nice, promptly replaced our unit with a new one which we were very appreciative but they need to go back to the drawing board with this design because needs an access for a human hand to be able to get in and clean out mold. We suspect the new one will do what the old one did and we will have to stop using it.

I like the humidifier. It does an excellent job. I like the design. My old humidifier was of antique design but did work for 15 years. I thought that in new humidifier the place to hang the filter can be better. It will be nice to see the place in which you are inserting the washed filter!

We bought this to replace one that didn't seem to be doing the job. Our spring and summer has been nothing but wet! With water seeping through basement floor. This model has been running almost continuous, and the basement is beginning to look like it should--plus we have buckets of water every day to water plants and flowers with!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very satisfied with this model! I like how I can set the humidistat at any level I want. It's keeping my basement nice and dry! It is working a lot better than my last model from another company.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using the unit for over a month. It keeps the humidity between 40 and 45%, otherwise it is over 60%. The water collection bucket could be a little heavier duty. We use hose so should not be an issue. I've clean the filter but the light still comes to say clean filter, not sure what that's about. Haven't been able to figure out how many amps this unit draws when hi vs low fan.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the Frigidaire brand...never had any problems with my old model..worked well..Only reason I replaced was to give old one to a family member therefore I bought a new. The reviews are excellent for this brand. My old one is 10 yrs old and still going strong!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this over a month ago for use in a basement. I was getting the basement musty smell especially after a rain. I was surprised at how much moisture was in the air. I now have it set to keep a comfortable and healthy humidity level. And it is also much quieter than I anticipated.

We bought this unit to keep our Richmond, VA basement dry. It replaced another brand that quit working after 18 months. We iimediately noticed how quiet this unit is. It took a few days for us to see how well it works since there had been no dehumidifcation for week. It now mainttained a constant 50% humidty that the old unit never could do. Good job, Frigidaire!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had this model in the basement for 7 years and when it finally quit a couple of months ago, I bought the same model as a replacement.Now I see it's discontinued, hope its successor is just as good. Definitely does the job, keeps the area comfortably dehumidified. Hope I won't need another for awhile but will shop for the replacement model when I do.

This is the second Frigidaire dehumidifier I have bought. In 2008, I bought an FDL50S1. I took care of it and kept it clean, inside and out. For some reason, perhaps due to low coolant, this year, 2015, it was not dehumidifying. Our old one worked well through six Summers. I decided to stick with Frigidaire and found the FAD504DWD for a very good price online. We received it at the end of June 2015, and after following the setup instructions, have been running it since (almost two months). So far, it has run well with no issues at well. Both the past dehumidifier and this one are in our unfinished basement. The first did well during its lifetime. This one is also doing well. On this model, it was easy to hook up a hose in the back to run directly to a drain, and so have not needed to empty the bucket. Once in a while I have to check to see if the filter needs to be cleaned. At this point, I cannot review its longevity, having only owned this model for about two months.
