[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dehumidifier does a good job of drying things out (being used in a small basement area). Wish the receptacle were a bit larger as you do have to pour out the condensate about every 6 hours when it is more humid

Hi Whydoyouwantit, thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad your Frigidaire 22-pint dehumidifier is doing a good job keeping your basement area dry. We understand that having to empty the water bucket every six hours during humid conditions can be inconvenient, and we appreciate your suggestion for a larger capacity. To reduce interruptions, you may also consider using a compatible continuous-drain setup if your installation allows it. Thank you for choosing Frigidaire! If you need assistance, please visit Frigidaire.com via live chat or call 1-800-374-4432, Monday–Friday, 8:30am–8pm ET. — Reed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought two of the 22 pint units for separate very small insulated rooms, 140 sq. feet and 200 sq. feet. The a/c units were 8k and 10k btu and cooled so quickly that humidity remained when the unit shut off. The dehumidifiers quickly dropped the humidity into mid 50% range. I was somewhat surprised that the units created significant amounts of warm air, and were a little louder than I expected from reading the advertising literature. The only disappointment is a minor, but aggravating, issue. The maker warns against allowing kinks in the clear plastic drain hose, since it can stop drainage and result in the unit shutting off. But the hose is packaged so tightly I found it almost impossible to open the packaging kinks, even after softening them in hot water.

Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your Frigidaire dehumidifiers. We're pleased to hear that both units are performing well in your insulated rooms and were able to quickly reduce the humidity levels to a comfortable range. It's great to know they complemented your air conditioning units by addressing the remaining moisture and helping create a more comfortable environment.
We also appreciate your honest observations regarding the warm air output and noise levels. Dehumidifiers naturally generate some heat as part of the moisture removal process, but we understand that the amount of warm air and sound produced may have been more noticeable than you expected.
We apologize for the frustration you experienced with the drain hose packaging. We understand how aggravating it can be when the hose retains kinks from being tightly packaged, especially when proper drainage is important for optimal performance. Your feedback is valuable and will help us better understand areas where we can improve the overall customer experience.
Thank you for choosing Frigidaire. We're glad the units are doing the job and helping maintain the humidity levels you were aiming for.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is NOT easy to remove bucket to empty. Actually, it can be rather difficult.

Hi jimbo81!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that removing and emptying the bucket of your Frigidaire dehumidifier has been more difficult than expected. We understand how important ease of use is and appreciate you bringing this concern to our attention.
Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with our team as we continue looking for ways to improve our products.

Works as designed for now, unfortunately very small tank, buying that was an error on my part. Fortunately attaching a hose & draining into my sump pump is the only reason this got 4*. This is the second Frigidaire I bought, the first one lasted over 8 years & had a 2 gallon tank. It was easy to operate & clean filter but for years it threw an error code we had to override by unplugging. Error codes on Frigidaire units are a problem. I have to buy another unit for my family room, I will not buy a Frigidaire.

Hi Gmom56, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that your Frigidaire dehumidifier is working as designed and that the continuous drain option has been helpful. We’re sorry, however, that the smaller water tank has not met your needs and that you previously experienced an error code with your older Frigidaire unit. We understand how frustrating this can be.
As a basic troubleshooting step, please make sure the water bucket is fully seated and the drain hose is securely connected if you’re using continuous drainage. Also, keep the air filter clean and ensure the unit has adequate clearance for proper airflow. If an error code appears, refer to the owner’s manual for the specific code and recommended steps rather than repeatedly unplugging the unit.
For further assistance with your dehumidifier or any error-code concerns, please visit Frigidaire.com to connect with our live chat team or call 1-800-374-4432, Monday–Friday, 8:30am–8pm ET. Our team can provide further troubleshooting and guidance on the appropriate next steps.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dehumidifiers work really well. Each one pulls about a gallon of water out of the air every 24 hours with the setting on automatic. The reservoir is easily emptied and replaced. We live in a very rainy humid area, so this helps to keep moisture levels down in our house. Would recommend this product and would buy again.

I feel like I bought a different model, given all the 5-star reviews. Here's my observation: The unit turns on and off haphazardly. For example, I set the humidity to 55, the machine shuts off at 58; other times 56 or 55. It then displays rapidly increasing humidity, then turns back on at 66. I have another humidity sensor in the room; the humidity doesn't go up and down as fast as this unit displays. I'm considering returning it, something I don't like to do.

Hello JoeMB, we're sorry to hear that your experience with the unit hasn’t matched what you expected, especially after seeing so many 5-star reviews. I completely understand how frustrating it can be when the unit appears to be cycling on and off unpredictably and displaying humidity levels that don’t seem to match your other sensor.
We appreciate you taking the time to share these observations with us. We understand that you’d prefer not to return the unit, and we’d certainly like the opportunity to help address your concerns before you make that decision.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bucket on my new dehumidifier is smaller than the one on my previous model so now I have to empty the bucket twice a day instead of once.
