Efficient little sucker!
Reviewed by Alex the Handyman (Homeowner) from NY on Aug 30, 2010
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This nice-looking unit does a great job sucking moisture out of the air. We use it in our finished basement and the laundry room. Takes about 3 to 4 hours to bring the humidity from 75% down to 50%. As with most A/C's (it's basically an A/C), don't expect it to be very energy efficient. However, it performs and performs really well. So, choose your priorities.

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I had an issue with removing the bucket but called Frigidaire and the customer rep. asked me to check the filter to see if it was possibly a little low and blocking the removal of the bucket, sure enough, that is what it was. Problem solved, it does also come on for a few seconds and stop, then does it again and she said that is normal and the units way of checking the moisture in the air. I have owned several dehumidifiers and this is the first one that has done that. I am extremely satisfied with the amount of water it pulls out of the air. I set it at 35% humidity and am happy with the results. The unit is noisy but they all are, for the price and efficiency I think this is a Great buy.

Delivers what it promises
Reviewed by John (Homeowner, Handyman) from Portage, IN on Oct 30, 2009
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
At three weeks, this dehumidifier has lived up to its generally stellar reviews across several online sources: it has done an excellent job of drying out our dank, unfinished 1200 square foot basement by reliably pumping out gallon after gallon of humidity around the clock. I hooked up a hose from the outset to make it maintenance free. When the hose became kinked, the water automatically filled the container and then the unit shut off before it overflowed - so these fail-safe features worked well too. The fan is pretty loud on high, as others have noted, but the ability to move so much moist air is also why it is so effective. With the fan on low, we cannot hear it upstairs but you certainly will if you are using it in a living space. We are using the continuous mode but switching to the humidistat setting would run the fan intermittently. Assuming the reliability is as good as the warranty and other reviews suggest, this is an excellent product for our purposes.

Great humidifier! Easy to operate and move around with the handle. Much better than an old 25 pint humidifier I was using that was the same size. The red indicator light that comes up when it's full is a great feature. The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts is because the tank is a little hard to remove. You have to jiggle it a bit to get it to pop out.

As previous reviews have stated, the unit is loud (even louder than I expected); however, I use it in my unfinished basement so this is not an issue. Also, as previous reviews have stated, it is awkward to remove the water pan. The pan is filled to the top before the full light comes on & you must be very careful removing it to avoid a spill. The dehumidifier does an excellent job removing water from the air. I only gave the unit 4 stars because I have only owned it for a month. If it lasts longer than my last dehumidifier (3 years) then I'd consider upping the rating.

I decided to buy this product by researching online and reading reviews about this product. It is highly recommended and the best seller for basement dehumidifiers. It is a little heavy to me, but I guess it is nothing to others. It is not a problem to me because I only use it in basement, and I don't need to move it. It works perfectly. It is quiet and efficient. What I like most is it is easy to throw out the water and it is timing functions. I usually one hour in the early morning and one hour at night. I put the air freshener nearby the fan. so after one hour the basements smells dry and good. I have used it for one month and I have been enjoying it. No complaints at all.

With all the rain in NY this spring/summer, our basement was DANK and had a musty smell. I was really concerend about mold growth with two small children, and a powerful dehumidfier seemed like the solution. It really was. Our basement now stays below 50% humidity and it feels and smells DRY. I haven't hooked up the hose yet, because I still need to buy a relative short garden hose, so I empty it twice a day. For the price, it's an awesome little work-horse that I wouldn't trade for the world, BUT (and this is a big BUT), it is loud. We have forced air heat, and vents come up from the basement. We keep them open now (again, to keep the air flowing and prevent mold)and the sound of the hummming dehumidifier can be heard in every room. On the first floor you can almost feel the vibrations from the basement below.

Great features and a cool Retro look
Reviewed by Uncle Pete (Homeowner, Professional) from Caldwell, NJ on Aug 31, 2009
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I have gone through 5-6 dehumidifiers in my basement, and they typically last about 3 years +/-. I chose this model based on reviews. I have only had it about three weeks, so I can't speak about its durability, but its design is by far the best I've seen. The hose connection is designed so that the water bucket is completely bypassed, solving two problems: 1) there is no inch or two of standing water (which becomes slimy) in the bottom of the bucket as there is in the typical unit where the hose is attached to a flimsy connection built into the bucket. 2)It also allows for the unit to be moved from the location near the sump pump where it drains, to an area where there is no place to drain (in which case the bucket can be used, since it has not been punctured for the hose connection). The water bucket has a convenient handle on top as well as a cover to prevent water from splashing out when moving. The unit has a convenient handle on top for one-handed moving as well as handles on the side. The wheels make it easier to move also. It is not as loud as I expected based on some reviews - it is actually quieter than the smaller units of other brands that I have had. I also like the retro look the unit has.
Pros: Easy to move, Great Hose Connection, Effective
Best Uses: Summer Humidity, Dank Basement

This is the best dehumidifier I have ever seen. I am a mechanical engineer and I get very finicky about how machines are engineered. Well, I give this appliance an A+. No kidding....a very good design and it's amazingly effective (70 pints per day is almost twice the norm). I actually use this unit instead of two older GE models. I'm certain I'm pulling out more basement moisture with less electricity. I could not be more pleased. (Anyone want to buy an old GE dehumidifier??)

Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
You can definitely feel the change in himidity in the basement. I just have to keep up with the bucket changing since I don't have an output (a sink)for the hose. Also, it is quite tedious when cleaning the bucket since the cover is screwed down. I would definitely recommend this for humidity control purposes and if you have condensation due to temp change. Also, I recommend buying the warranty if you plan to run it continuously with a hose. But if you have high water table content & capillaries going into your house,this will not solve your problem since that is a bigger issue. For that, you may need a sump pump & a french drain inside your house.

Does job effectively.....But it's Loud
Reviewed by John (Homeowner) from Washington, DC on Aug 20, 2009
Verified Buyer
While I've owned the unit only about three weeks, so far the Frigidaire dehumidifier works as advertised. After allowing the unit to run full time for a period of 4 days after first setting it up (per manual), I now have the unit set to cycle off when humidity drops to 55%. My basement is not huge, so unit runs less than half the time now. The only disappointment I have with the unit is that it is much louder than I anticipated, certainly much louder than the Sears Kenmore unit it replaced. Luckily, I spend little time in the basement so this is not a major deal for me, but could be to someone who plans to run the unit in a living area.

I have a very wet basement (about 25x30ft). This machine sucked the moisture out of my basement in under 3 days. Works great, but a little noisy for upstairs.

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I purchased this because of reviews I saw on another site. I usually go with the recommendations of Consumer Reports, but they didn't review this. However, another site had over 100 good reviews about this so I bought it and haven't regretted that decision. Aside from the fact that its a little loud, it has really taken the moisture out of our finished basement and made it a lot more comfortable. Luckily, I have a slop sink in the basement and I was able to mount this on a stand just above the height of the sink. The house adapter allowed me to run a small house into the sink. Considering how well this works, I was filling the bucket up twice a day on these hot summer days. The hose allows me to run it 24/7 without having to go down and empty the bucket.

Reviewed by GreenMachine (Avid Cook) from Rochester, NY on Jul 10, 2009
Verified Buyer
According to the Owner's Guide, "the filter reset light will illuminate after 250 hours of operation". Fine. The only problem is that the machine shuts off and will not run until you push the "Filter" button to reset. I was away for a week-and-a-half and noticed that I wasn't hearing the dehumidifier run. I noticed that the filter reset light was on. I checked the filter- there was hardly any dust on it. Only after pushing the filter reset button would the unit run. I cannot recommend this unit to anyone who might go away for extended periods of time.

We just moved into a two level apartment that includes a finished basement where the bedrooms are located. We noticed immediately that our clothes, sheets, and other materials felt moist. After purchasing this dehumidifier, it is a completely different feeling. It has dried out our basement area. Plus, it holds a ton of water so we don't have to change the bucket much.

I use this in a basement where I previously had humidity problems and I had a smaller capacity dehumidifier which was running constantly and not removing a lot of the humidity. With this humidifier, I have not had a problem, although the real test will be the very humid days of the middle of summer. One small complaint would be the bucket is a bit difficult to remove (it doesn't come out smoothly and has to be jiggled/worked out) which is a problem when the bucket is all the way full since you can spill water on the floor but not much since it does have a plastic cover that partially covers the top of the bucket.
