We do have air conditioning in the house but found that the basement was in the 57 range of humidity which was a little too sticky for us. Bought the Frigidaire 50 pint dehumidifier and it works great making the basement more comfortable and less sticky. It extracted on average one full bucket of water a day and the humidity level has gone down to 47 range. Completely happy with the product. We did not hook up the dehumidifier to a hose as our basement is finished but emptying is not a big deal for us.

I bought this few months ago and I’m somewhat happy. Everything work well on it except the continuous drainage. I wasn’t successful in making it work. I followed all the instructions in connecting it at the back of the unit and I put the other end of the water hose in the sink but when the unit is full it doesn’t continue to flow the water through the hose into the sink but it simply stops and give you a notification that the tank is full. This is my issue keeping in mind that I bought the unit because of the continuous drainage feature. Hope I could have some help if this message reaches the right place.

Hi Bdalati, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that your Frigidaire Dehumidifier has been performing well overall. We're sorry to learn that you've been unable to get the continuous drain feature working as expected. We understand how disappointing that is, especially since it was one of the reasons you chose this model.
For continuous drainage to function properly, the drain hose should be securely connected, free of kinks or obstructions, and routed downward to a drain that is lower than the drain outlet on the dehumidifier. If the hose is level or routed upward at any point, the water may not drain correctly and the unit will continue to collect water in the bucket.
If you've confirmed these steps and the issue persists, please connect with us through live chat at Frigidaire.ca or call us at 1-800-265-8352, Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–8:00 PM ET. We'd be happy to help troubleshoot the issue further and ensure your dehumidifier is operating as intended. — Reed
I had to buy a new dehumidifier after my previous one died after 13 years. This new Frigidaire has been a real step up in performance than my older WP model. It is quicker at getting my finished basement to my desired humidity level and much quieter in keeping it there, too. Hopefully it will prove as durable but only time will tell. Totally satisfied with this dehumidifier so far.

It is doing what it was purchased for. Noisier than expected, and blows hot air, which works agains the air conditioner. We'll just have to learn how to manage that.

Hi debates, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're glad to hear that your Frigidaire 50 Pint Dehumidifier was easy to set up and is providing the strong performance you expected.
We appreciate you sharing your comments regarding the operating noise and the warm air output. Dehumidifiers naturally release heat as they remove moisture from the air, which can slightly increase the surrounding room temperature. Proper placement and ventilation can help optimize performance and comfort while the unit is running.
Thank you for choosing Frigidaire. If you ever have any questions or need assistance with your dehumidifier, please connect with us through live chat at Frigidaire.ca or call us at 1-800-265-8352, Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–8:00 PM ET. We're always happy to help. — Reed

I bought this unit to replace another one from a different source that worked less Thant one season. This time, I was very selective in my choice and decided to trust Frigidaire. So far, very happy with my choice.
