High Humidity 50-Pint Capacity Dehumidifier with Built-in Pump

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dehumidifier with pump is doing a great job of keeping my basement nice and dry. I like that the cord is longer than the last dehumidifier I bought, but it can barely reach the outlet which is near the ceiling. I have the unit propped up on some boards to raise it high enough since you cannot use an extension cord with these. As these are used often in basements and they often have outlets only high up, it would be nice if the cords were all at least 8’.

Great dehumidifier. Have a large 2,000 Sq ft walkout basement that is finished. Was starting to get musty and air felt wet. Bought the dehumidifier, turned it on high and in two days the basement felt great. Now I run it on low fan set at 55 and it keeps the basement dry and comfortable. The pump works great. I only pump it about ten feet to a sink as a backup when I don't have time to empty the built in bucket.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife inherited her fathers house last summer. Sad at the loss, we had a fun time moving into a beautiful property (our first) with a lake off our backyard, an acre of land and a decent structure of a house. Or so we thought. We didn't not know but over 40 years the house had developed water issues and had slowly started sinking into a sink hole. The walls and the roof had developed cracks and we were unaware. The storms started this past fall and the house was slowly getting soaked. We noticed at first a ceiling stain, then rapidly other signs. Very quickly, we started getting sick, developing mold and wood rot. It advanced to a point where we watched 200 cracks develop in our foundation, walls bowing and ceilings falling in... over three days. Though we clearly needed a construction crew and did hire one, I started with one Frigidaire WiFi 70 pint (50 pint equivalent) dehumidifier. First, it registered the humidity so we knew where we stood. Our master bedroom was 85% humidity. Almost swimmable. I attached a hose out the door and ran it for two days. It dried all the wood, the clothes, the carpet the bedding etc... Gallons and gallons of water everyday. I was so thoroughly impressed, I bought a second 50 pint unit from another company. To my surprise, even though it was rated well online, it only pulled 1/10th what the Frigidaire pulled. I returned it immediately and bought the model for this review, the 50 pint dehumidifier with pump. Well, excellent. It performed just as well as the WiFi unit. The automatic pump adds a nice set-it-and-forget-it feature. We love them. We have blown every penny we had trying to save the house (cuz it's a free house) and the best money spent was clearly these two Frigidaire Dehumidifiers. Frigidaire, thank you so much for the wonderful over-achieving products! You don't even realize from your side, as a company wanting to profit and provide, how you touch other people's lives. I literally accredit you for saving the house before it collapsed. It couldn't absorb any more water and though there are many repairs left to do, these two products may have kept our house standing on their own. The air is so nice in here. Finally.

Brand new unit, pump has never once worked. When pump turned on and hose connected it won’t shut off and water just overflows the inner bucket, all over the floor. I am beyond furious that I wasted $300 on this garbage product.

This is one of best dehumidifiers i have owned because it is extremely quiet and efficient at the same time. It has a built in pump if you want convenience to empty the water or just use the internal tank. Easy to use and set up. Highly recommend it.

This unit worked extremely well for the first week and of course I tossed the packing box etc. It then started leaking from the bottom of the unit when the bucket was only 1/4 filled. It did an excellent job removing the humidity but it leaked all over my floor. I couldn’t find where the leak was coming from bypassing the bucket. Frigidaire service was terrible. They hung up on me during my call and sent me a survey before they even addressed the issue. Returning today!!!

For the money I paid for this dehumidifier I would’ve expected to last more than one year. I should’ve listened to all the reviews.

Dehumidifier worked great for about 3 months. Then the coils kept icing. Tried adding a small portable fan to keep the room temperature even. Icing problem stopped, but dehumidifier repeatedly displays code EC and shuts off. Now junk. Just out of warranty and the retailer (not HD, bought elsewhere) will not refund me. I had to replace it AND pay to have it recycled. If you buy this thing, get the extended warranty for the inevitable failure.
