[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this dehumidifier during a sale and decided to go a step up to this model to try to keep my basement dry over the summer. It works pretty effectively and filled the entire collection bucket pretty quick and has a way to attach a tube to continually drain I will look into.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My previous Frigidaire 50 Pint Dehumidifier lasted almost 10 years in a coastal environment. I immediately replaced it with the latest model and it's working great. Much quieter than the previous model and reduces the humidity quicker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only been using this dehumidifier for a several weeks, but as far as I can tell it works great. The only thing I feel is missing the display of the current humidity level on LCD screen. It only shows the target humidity. However the current humidity, as well as temperature is displayed in the app, so it's not a deal breaker.

Hi there. Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear your dehumidifier has been working great and that you're enjoying the app features. We appreciate your comments about the LCD display — we understand how having the current humidity level visible directly on the unit would be helpful. We're happy the app provides both the current humidity and temperature readings, and we’ll be sure to share your suggestion with our product team for future improvements.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using this dehumidifier for a little over a month, I can say it’s very effective, as well as quiet. We have it in the basement, and it has dried up the wet areas, cycling on and off very quietly. Very happy with it’s effectiveness.. As per the instructions, I have done the maintenance cleaning at two week intervals. My only concern is that I’m somewhat nervous about the necessary pressure required to exert on certain plastic pieces in order to disassemble and reassemble the parts for cleaning. I’m being very careful, but realize that repeated stress on this type of plastic will eventually result in the plastic tabs and pieces snapping off. I was glad to find the video on your website about removing the filter from the casing for cleaning,and although that works, it is no way as easily done as the video portrays. Much more stress on the plastic occurs on one side than is apparent in your video. In order to clean the water chamber, it’s necessary to remove the carrying handle, and that effort is another stress point on the plastic. Once the handle is off, the lid can be lifted off, but this is somewhat awkward . The construction of the inner part of the water chamber is so compartmentalized that actually cleaning it would be nearly impossible, so this regular maintenance cleaning, I feel, is really important, because if it ever gets dirty, it would be nearly impossible to clean. Reassembly of the water chamber requires putting the handle back on, which requires probably the most stress on the plastic of all— picture yourself forcing a movement while in clear expectation of the sound of plastic snapping off. So, in summary the effectiveness of the dehumidifier is great so far, but my confidence in the longevity of the plastic fasteners is low, and I foresee duct tape in the future, as well as carrying the water chamber across the basement somehow without the aid of a handle. If the plastic proves stronger and more resilient than I expect, I will update this review.

Received this unit as a direct replacement from Frigidaire as the prior model failed within the 1-year manufacturer's warrantee period. This new unit has only been in service for about one week as of this writing. So far, it's working fine but time will tell. i must say however how truly impressed I am with Frigidaire's response to quickly replace the failed unit. No nonsense. Quick and easy with minimal overhead to customer. Nice job! Very impressed.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing an EC error code with your appliance, Model FHDD5034Y1, after only two years of use. We understand how frustrating and disappointing this situation must be.
For basic troubleshooting, we recommend unplugging the unit for several minutes to allow it to reset, then reconnecting power and checking if the error returns. Please also ensure the air filter and coils are clean and that the unit has proper airflow around it, as restricted airflow can sometimes affect operation. If the EC code persists, service may be required.
We appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention.
