doing its job

By satisfied for now from NJ on 08/26/2009.

Pros:	Bucket is always full, Effective, Quiet
Cons:	Bucket is hard to clean, Cover is screwed down
Best Uses:	Dank Basement
Describe Yourself:	Homeowner
Primary use:	Personal

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.

Describe Yourself:	Homeowner
Primary use:	Personal

The Frigidaire 70 Pint Dehumidifier is fantastic!! It is totally doing the job! The smell in our basement has disappeared. My husband and I are very happy that we've made the right choice in buying this product. I've done my research and Frigidaire has been rated #1 in the consumer report. We have been emptying the bucket twice a day and our basement now feels nice and dry. [...]

I run it continuously in the basement throughout the summer season. Pulls humidity quickly and effectively. Hose attachment for automatic drain works great.

Works best if you connect drain hose for continuous drain operation. Water pan a little difficult to remove when empty or full.

Does job effectively.....But it's Loud

By John from Washington, DC on 08/20/2009.

Best Uses:	Dank Basement, Summer Humidity
Pros:	Effective, Energy Efficient
Describe Yourself:	Homeowner
Cons:	Loud
Primary use:	Personal

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.

Good performer

By Chicago Multi from Chicago, IL on 08/19/2009.

Pros:	Effective
Describe Yourself:	Homeowner
Primary use:	Personal
Best Uses:	Summer Humidity

This dehumidifier is used in a multi-unit residential building. It is very effective. It does throw off exhaust heat as a by-product of operation but it is effective and not too loud for a common area space.[...]

Frigidaire 70 Pint Dehumidifier

By Jim the scientist from The Fingerlakes, New York on 08/19/2009.

Best Uses:	Dank Basement, Summer Humidity
Pros:	Effective, Energy Efficient
Describe Yourself:	Homeowner, Handyman
Primary use:	Personal

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. The ability to run an out-drain line (same fitting as on the back of a washing machine)is great, but you must buy the hose separately. All in all...4 out of 5 stars.

Came back from vacation to a basement with 90% humidity. This unit got it down to 60% in two days! Getting ready to plumb it into our AC sump pump to avoid emptying the water tray, but the machine switches off when its full. Great unit, thrilled with it so far!

Great dehumidifer for the price

By Brad from NJ on 08/17/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Homeowner
Pros:	Lightweight, Effective
Cons:	Loud when running
Primary use:	Personal
Best Uses:	Summer Humidity, Dank Basement

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.

Solid Performer

By Andy from Evanston, IL on 08/17/2009.

Pros:	Effective
Describe Yourself:	Homeowner
Primary use:	Personal

So far so good. Doing a great job of keeping our 110 year old basement dry. After using this device I realize how dank and musty our basement used to be (even with an older dehumidifier)

Use in the basement. Very efficient. Really pulls the moisture out of a damp basement. Runs quietly. Easy to empty. Reminder when to clean filter a plus.

Fantastic Product

By Ash from NJ on 07/8/2009.

Pros:

Quality Construction, Easy To Use, Attractive Design, Compact, Convenient

Excellent. Works like a horse, drains gallons and gallons. I bought a fancy delonghi first and returned it - this works 5 times better.

Superb Performance

By Susan from Madison, WI on 07/8/2009.

Pros:	Attractive Design, Convenient
Best Uses:	Basements
Cons:	Bulky
Describe Yourself:	Rarely Cook

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. The only downfall is it can be a little loud when it switches on during the night, but you get used to it.

Frigidaire 70 Pint Dehumidifier

By rocketman from East Lansing, Michigan on 07/8/2009.

Best Uses:	Damp basements
Pros:	Quality Construction, Attractive Design, Compact

I'm using this de-humidifier in my basement which gets a musty smell in the summertime. I have had several de-humidifers over the past several years mainly Kenmore's. None of them have lasted more than 2 years. This unit seems better built than my previous models and much more quiet. We shall see about staying power. All and all this unit is doing a very good job at the present time.

Excellent De-Humidifier

By kag624 from Lenoxville, PA on 07/7/2009.

Pros:

Convenient, Compact, Quality Construction, Easy To Use, Attractive Design

Very pleased with the unit

I would buy this dehumidifer again.

By Bob F from 07960 on 07/3/2009.

Pros:	Convenient, Easy To Use, Quality Construction, Attractive Design
Cons:	None

This is the best dehumidifier I have owned. I had a Royal Sovereign for only three weeks which was JUNK and I replaced it with this. I have owned other brands in the past many years also. Fridgidaire was not high on my list, but I really like this model a lot as it is so simple to use and no leaks.

FDF70S1 Dehumidifier

By SM from Crossville, TN on 07/3/2009.

Pros:	Attractive Design
Cons:	Caster wheels

Caster wheels are not removable which makes it somewhat difficult to balance the unit in a crawl space that is not level. It is quiet as we do not hear it running while we are upstairs. We made this purchase a few weeks ago and are very pleased with the unit.

So far So good

By ljt from Atlanta on 07/2/2009.

Pros:

Attractive Design, Convenient, Quality Construction, Compact, Easy To Use

So far, this has worked great. We have about 2000 sq feet, unfinished. We were having to empty twice daily, we recently did a direct hook-up, no more basket to empty! We now gladly use the basement on a daily basis.

i would buy this product again

Solid build, Solid Perfomance

By red barron from stl mo on 06/23/2009.

Best Uses:	Damp basements
Pros:	Quality Construction, Attractive Design, Easy To Use, Compact

Great product - plug and play!

Very pleased so far!

By Green Machine from Rochester, NY on 06/18/2009.

Pros:

Easy To Use, Quality Construction, Attractive Design

While we normally use a drain hose instead of the dehumidifier accumulation tank, we initially used the tank to guage the unit's ability to remove moisture from the air. Very impressive. The hose hookup was the easiest of any unit we've owned so far. Unit noise was acceptable, esp. considering what a good job it was perfoming removing moisture from our basement. We hope this unit lasts, as last two units(Whirlpool) failed relatively early in life.

works great - except

By areyounutstoo from chicago on 06/12/2009.

Pros:

Attractive Design, Compact, Quality Construction

We bought this unit after our 3 year old Kenmore stopped working. The Frigidaire is a good looking dehumidifier and works great with one exception. The water collection bucket is difficult to remove without binding up or spilling some water onto the floor. Before our last unit which also had a hard to remove bucket, we had an ugly one with the bucket in the rear that didn't have all the bells and whistles, but had a bucket that removed easily

Keeps my basement dry

By Moses Mom from Victor, NY on 06/8/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Pros:	Easy To Use, Quality Construction, Convenient, Attractive Design

Great product, keeps my basement nice and dry. It was easy to set up and connect the drainage hose.

Works as intended

By Dry basement buddy from Boston, MA on 06/8/2009.

Pros:	Attractive Design, Easy To Use
Cons:	Bulky

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.

I would buy again

By Mike from Milwaukee on 06/2/2009.

Pros:	Convenient, Easy To Use, Attractive Design, Guiet, Quality Construction, Compact
Best Uses:	In basement

Very quiet! Very good packaging, EZ out box, unpacked and running in minutes. The controls are EZ to use and simple to understand. The basement humidity under control in two days, very good unit. The Frigidaire 70 Pint Dehumidifier also looks good.

Really Happy with this Product

By Don from Kansas City on 05/29/2009.

Pros:

Easy To Use, Attractive Design, Performs as expected, Convenient

[...] Use in garage, so ability to attach hose to drain is a real plus. Good design. Quiet for amount of water it pulls from the air.

Solid dehumidier - 70 pint rating?

By obiwandog from Chicago, il on 05/29/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Best Uses:	Basements
Cons:	Bulky
Pros:	Convenient, Easy To Use

Solid product working well and continuously since purchase. Water receptacle tends to get stuck in place, but it easily remedied witha few wiggles and tugs. I believe the 70 pint rating may be a bit of an exageration - but I think they all suffer from a similar rating system. I'd recommend this for basement similar to mine.

great product

By Jon from Holland, PA on 05/25/2009.

Pros:

Easy To Use, Attractive Design

This is perhaps the quietest dehumidifier I have owned. I have a rather large basement and the Frigadere 70 pint is quiet and highly efficient at keeping the basement comfortable. Keeping the basement around 55% relative humidity is snap with this product. For the money you can not beat it!

works effectively

By polevaulter from shohola , PA. on 05/25/2009.

Pros:	Compact, Attractive Design
Cons:	Cycles continuously may

dehumidifier cycles continuously from preset humidity level; may be a problem with thermostat[...]

a quantum leap over prior generation dhf

By Bert vos Bevis from Hilton Head Island, SC on 05/22/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Pros:	Easy To Use, Quality Construction

Air pulls from front, discharges out to side. Digital display and control of humidity - Easy to empty drain or hook up to drain into external drain. SO MUCH BETTER THAN MODELS OF 5 YEARS AGO.
