Don’t buy
The dehumidifier stops working, not collecting water at all after two summers use. Bad quality, even worse official customer service experience, trouble shooting is a joke, only one year warranty for this machine, No extend warranty available for this product. The only option is throwing out $300 after two short period use. Super bad experience ever, do not buy anything from Frigidaire.

    Hi, David! We apologize to learn that this has been your experience with your dehumidifiers; this is certainly not the ownership experience we want you to have. Please know that it is Frigidaire’s goal to use some of the finest quality materials available and sophisticated assembly processes to assure manufacturing accuracy. Although we place a great deal of emphasis on quality control, there are many factors beyond the control of the manufacturer that may affect the performance or longevity of an appliance and its parts. It is virtually impossible for us to control what occurs after our appliances leave our facilities. However, we want you to know that you and your experience matter to us; rest assured, it will not go unnoticed. Should you have further concerns we may be able to help with, please let us know. You can contact us by live chat or by phone at 1-800-374-4432. Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST, and we will dive right in. -Rox

      Hello, Jennifer! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. A dehumidifier that's not collecting water can be due to a water tank that's full and needs to be emptied, parts that need to be cleaned, there's an issue with the coils on a refrigerant dehumidifier, the moisture level in the room is already too low or has been set too high. If the issue still persists, you can contact us via Live Chat at www.Frigidaire.com or give us a call at (800) 374-4432 Monday-Friday 8:30 am-8 pm EST, and we will be happy to assist so that we can resolve your concern. ~Sam Frigidaire

      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good, this was a replacement sent and it appears to be working good so far. Hoping this one does not end up with an error code like that last two.

        I am very happy with the dehumidifier so far. Haven't used the gravity drain yet, but the bucket and pump options both work well. The unit is very quiet and can hardly be heard from across the room. Now as long as it lasts at least through the 1 year warranty period...

        EC Code renders unit inoperable
        Unfortunately, feel compelled to leave a 1 star review due to the dreaded "EC" code. I can unplug and plug back in, but the EC code comes back and shuts the unit down in a few hours. The unit worked great for 2 years, but I feel like 2 years is not sufficient life-span for this type of appliance. Is there a way to repair this? I would really rather not have to bear the cost of a new appliance, nor the landfill impact of throwing out a faulty one.

                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dehumidifier is excellent! I haven't had an issue with it and it's working the way I expected it to since it's a Frigidaire.

                  Works great and I love the design for drainage
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an old Frigidaire Dehumidifier that worked great for many years but recently quit so I ordered this one. It also works great but the redesign on the hose drainage and the addition of a pump to remove water from the tank is a great advancement. Great job!

                    So far, so good!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product was installed, started up and so far continues to do the job it is required to perform. Can't ask for more.
