This Frigidaire is very quiet, efficient, easy to move around and good looking too. We expect a lot from this dehumidifier since it's replacing a Whirlpool that has lasted 13 years! It's disappointing there isn't an auto turn off and on, rather it has a timer you can set to turn it off. You are then required to turn it back on OR you can run it continuously. Check back in 5 or so years and we'll update this review....

Purchached the unit two weeks ago and it is working perfectly. Low noise is a pluss. It's being used in my 900sqft. basement and has been running 80% of the time. But the hummity has been higher that previous summers. A larger unit may have worked faster but not better. I had a bad moisture issue when I started the unit. All surfaces were damp to the touch. After running the unit on contious operation for three days the orders and moisture were under control. I drained the unit to my air-conditioner drain pump and it works as advisitered. Great unit for my application.

We needed to purchase a replacement dehumidifier when our original one was recalled. We had difficulty finding one because many were off the market due to the recall, and other people in our position were also out purchasing replacements. We were happy to find this one for the price point we were hoping for and pleased that it arrived in only three days. It works quietly (a bonus) and efficiently. We have it connected to a hose and draining directly into the floor drain, so we plugged it in and basically forgot it was there.

I am a first time buyer of a dehumidifier, and have owned this product for 10 days, and so far- it works well! It's pretty quiet for a unit this size. It's more quiet than my in-the-wall air conditioner. It came securely packaged, but I had a little difficulty getting it out of the box. I am petite and live alone. The instructions on the outside of the box states that it takes two people to remove it from the box. Unit has to be pulled up and out, and not lay box on its side. During the first few days, I emptied the bucket twice daily while operating it in the continuous mode for the first 5-6 days. I can't comment on the timer because I empty bucket a little before it reaches that point. To empty, I carefully remove bucket, slowly pour water in bathroom sink, pop canister back in, and unit starts working again. I refrain from using the handle to carry bucket because of some reviews about it breaking, and every 2-3 days I add a few drops of bleach to bucket after emptying for sanitation purposes. I'm so happy - now that the carpeting in my apartment feels dry again, not to mention the air smells fresher. What a relief - I'm not feeling that dampness under my bare feet and smelling musty odor. I could not believe the amount of moisture this unit draws out - but seeing is believing! It gets the job done for my entire (small) one bedroom apartment. Nonetheless, I won't throw out the box just yet . . . but in the meantime, I highly recommend this product! Thank you.

Well made, compact and fairly quiet. I live in a deciduous wetland between a river and a creek so the humidity is quite high on 'normal' days. This dehumidifier is a work horse and has turned an unbearable humid house into a nice place to be! I have yet to see the impact on my electric bill but comfort does have it's price. The fan when set on high is a bit noisy but nothing compared to the A/C fan. The bucket is easy to remove, empty and replace as is the air filter. I would definitely recommend this product. I should have bought 2!

I've had the Frigidaire 50-pint dehumidifier for a few weeks now. I have it in my unfinished basement so there are no walls to block the air flow. It replaced an 8 year old Kenmore 48 pint unit. The Frigidaire collects a lot more water and it's compact design takes up a lot less space than my old Kenmore. During these rather humid DC area summer days I collect about one pan of water (50 pints) a day. So far it's working beautifully.

Purchased this dehumidifier approximately two weeks ago. Very simple to set up, was up and running in less than 3 minutes. So far, very satisfied with the product with no complaints. Before buying, my basement was a little musty smelling but after running the dehumidifier constantly for a couple days the dampness and odor was gone. I would definitely purchase this product again.

Purchased this dehumidifier to replace one that had been recalled. (different brand) Compared to other dehumidifiers I have owned, this one is much quieter, and is very easy to operate and to adjust settings. The collection bucket is easy to remove and replace. It is taller than most units, but also slimmer. Since it is rated Energy Star, I expect that it will save money, too.

The unit works great and looks good. I love the roller wheels on it so you can wheel it to where it is required. I would have liked to be able to set a time for it to turn on at a later stage without the fan running all the time when the unit has power. It seems like the unit does not use a lot of electricity and in the DC area it will fill the bucket of water in one hot summer night.

This was shipped directly to our home, sooner than estimated. The instructions were easy. Withing 2-3 days our damp basement was much better. We should have ordered the short hose at the same time. The 50 pint capacity was the right choice in terms of being able to lift the bucket and empty it, much larger and I think it would have been too heavy. The wheels make the unit easy to position.
