5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!, January 30, 2010

This review is from: Frigidaire FAD504TDD 50-Pint Dehumidifier, White (Kitchen)

I was a little hesitant buying this dehumidifier without any reviews on Amazon, but last year's model was highly-regarded so I figured there wasn't too much of a risk. All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Pros:
- Looks great... I know it's a dehumidifier, but it doesn't hurt that it actually isn't hideous
- Really sucks moisture out of the air
- Good energy efficiency
- Multitude of options on how to run (timer on/off, humidity level, continuous operation)
- Auto-restart after power failure

Cons:
- Not the quietest dehumidifier. I've noticed with mine that it tends to start off pretty noisy and level out after about 30 minutes
- No adjustment to the vent airflow is possible, it would be nice if you could direction it up/down/left/right, but this isn't a major issue

Overall impression:
Some reviewers of the last model had difficulty removing the bucket -- mine has posed no problems. I believe that they didn't read the instructions, which clearly say to squeeze in the sides of the bucket gently in order to remove. For those who, like me, have to deal with ridiculously high electricity costs you'll be happy to know that it's a quite efficient model for its size. This dehumidifier reads out around 530 watts on my Kill-a-Watt (measured after it's had time to settle for about 15 minutes. I've noticed it tends to spike when you turn it on, then decrease rapidly, then slowly rise up to about the measured amount).

I cannot comment on its durability, but will provide an update in the future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Unit but Terrible Bucket, May 17, 2010

By	J. D. Keough (North Wales, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Frigidaire FAD504TDD 50-Pint Dehumidifier, White (Kitchen)

I've recently replaced an 8-year old Frigidaire dehumidifier with this new model (FAD504TDB). I had excellent service from my old unit (which was still working but lost some of its punch) so I bought another Frigidaire. Here's my opinion of the new Frigidaire.
1. Packaging & ease of initial start-up was exceptional. It was up & running inside 5 minutes.
2. Noise Level. Not sure why some found the noise levels excessive. I'd say it's about 1/2 the noise level of older model so now I'll have to go down a few basement steps just to hear if it's running or not.
3. Comments after using unit. The unit has done a nice job in lowering my basement humidity level from 70%+ to the low 60%'s within a few days. However, I gotta say I hate the water bucket. It's made so cheaply (feels like a refrigerator vegetable bin). When full, you have to hold it with both hands from the bottom which makes it more difficult to carry up the stairs. The older unit had a much more sturdy bucket with the handle centered on the top (not on the edge). I'll now have to buy a 2 gal rubbermaid bucket just to use to carry the water upstairs. The bucket removal process also stinks. The bucket fits way too tight and requires a real pull to extract it from the unit. My wife (who used to empty the old unit half the times) cannot get the bucket out of this unit. I also learned after day one that the bucket fills to the very brim so when you pull to yank it out you end up with water spilled onto the floor (which is really retarded considering this is a dehumidifier). It's just one of those product designs that leaves you scratching your head wondering how it got thru even basic product user testings. I would've giving this unit 5-stars if it weren't for that stinking bucket.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT - Buy It! >>> No brainer., March 16, 2010

By	Honest Consumer (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frigidaire FAD504TDD 50-Pint Dehumidifier, White (Kitchen)

It's large - like the size of a large portable refrigerator but hey, it's so nice. It's actually not white, it's creamy/ivory white but that's the same color as my walls - I'm in an apartment and I love it. On low fan it's VERY quiet and on medium fan is MODERATELY loud but not in an unpleasant way - much quieter than my old one (that one sounded like an airplane landing). The air draws in from the front and comes out the side... which I love because I can put an air purifier to the side it exits so - TADA - not only DRY air, but dry CLEAN air...great. The out vent is on the right side by the way...when you're facing the front. My apartment is 1000 sq ft and when it rains I need this to dry out the apartment (it's on a slab). It works well, bucket after bucket of water pours from it. So I'm happy with it. It works well, right out of the box ... easy - turn on - works - no problems. I think this model came out as an improvement on all the others...and it is. In a basement or in a living room it's acceptable looking and reasonably quiet. The price is right and with "one click" I had it practically overnight. No brainer. Love it. Frigidaire < Good brand name. Very easy to register it after the purchase / I've a feeling the company will stand by the product...this is a responsible company. Feel good about the purchase. Minus 1 star just because the exit vent for the dry air is pretty small > about 8" inches by 3 inches... I was surprised by that, but it doesn't effect the function. I hope this helped you decide.
