Comment: Great product

This review is from: EQ83I am very impressed with this dehumidifier. I am using for my basement, where I didn’t know how much I needed it until I found mold. I purchased this Fridgidaire because of all reviews I read. I couldn’t be happier with the results; within one day there was a very noticeable difference in my basement, the musty smell was gone, the carpeting felt dry, the way it only feels in the winter time. I’ve removed countless buckets, and I think I’m going to purchase the drain hose, I thought it was going to be cool to see how much moisture it takes out of the air, but it got old after the first three times… But as I said I could not have been happier with a another product.

This review is from: Dianne J MasseyThis dehumidifier has made *much* difference in the comfort of my old house….wish I hadn’t waited so long to get one.
The big unknown at this time: I haven’t gotten the first power bill since plugging it in. I’m not too worried, however, as I’ve had my A/C thermostat set 4-6 degrees higher than before, and it hasn’t run as much.
If you live in a humid area, and have been thinking of getting one of these – please do try it….

Comment: Decent Unit but Terrible Bucket
Rated:
This review is from: J. D. KeoughI’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.

Comment: WOW – this little baby works great!

This review is from: Donna DillonThis is my 2nd dehumidifier so I felt I had something to compare it with. The first one died after about 2 years and since I live in a very humid area and have hardwood floors a dehumidifier was a MUST! I was told without one I risked cupping and/or buckling of the floors. It’s summer and the A/C unit is continually running so you’d think that it would be pulling a lot of moisture out of the air but I find that I am emptying the dehumidifier every day. My old one would get full over a two day period. This one fills up every day and it makes me think that it is more efficient than the old LG one I previously had. I find the bucket easy to remove and I like the fact that it has a filter I can take out the wash, a feature the old one didn’t have. So, all in all, I feel that this baby does a much better job of removing the moisture from my home and would recommend it to anyone considedring it. I only gave it 4 stars because I’ve only had it for a little over 3 weeks and can’t really assess it’s durability.
