[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great, but I wish it would give a current digital read out of the room's humidity, like my old Frigidaire dehumidifier did.

Hi ncgeechiegal, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that your Frigidaire dehumidifier is doing an excellent job removing moisture and improving the comfort of your home. We also appreciate you sharing your concerns regarding the operating noise, warm air discharge, and the app functionality.
Warm air being discharged is a normal part of the dehumidification process, as the unit removes moisture while releasing slightly warmer, drier air back into the room. If you're experiencing issues with the app, we recommend confirming that the unit is connected to a stable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, ensuring the Frigidaire app is up to date, and attempting to remove and re-add the appliance within the app.
If the app continues to malfunction or you need additional assistance, please connect with us through live chat at Frigidaire.com or call us at 1-800-374-4432, Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–8:00 PM ET. We'd be happy to help. — Reed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has helped to lower the humidity in my small house. I bought it to use in the basement but since it didn't come with a drain hose, I have been using it upstairs.

Hi Mich7788, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're glad to hear that your Frigidaire 50 Pint Dehumidifier has helped reduce the humidity in your home and is making a positive difference.
We appreciate you mentioning that it did not include a drain hose. Depending on the installation, a standard garden hose can typically be used for continuous drainage if you plan to operate the unit in a basement with a floor drain or suitable drain location.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with this appliance so far. This was purchased and put into service only two weeks ago and no problems so far. This is my second Frigidaire dehumidifier and replaces a previous Frigidaire because the last one outlasted any other dehumidifier we have ever had. I had reviewed other brands and found some highly rated ones, but they all had smaller buckets which means more emptying trips. The only downside I have discovered is the humidity readout only show the current setting, not humidity level in the room.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the highest rated dehumidifiers out there, from a trusted brand, especially amongst 50-pint units. The unit seems to work quite well, however I'm not thrilled about the necessity of an app to operate it! It shouldn't have Wi-Fi control at the expense of limited control on the machine itself! I've got enough crap taking up my limited bandwidth as it is! It can barely keep up with the dozen Blink cameras I have scattered around the home, let alone all the streaming devices! As an added option, sure, as a necessity foisted upon you, I think not! Just because the new technology is out there doesn't mean everything that's manufactured has to include it! It's just something else to go wrong. The descriptive copy mentioned that it was EnergyStar rated, however it does not come with the familiar yellow sticker showing annual cost and a deeper dive indicated that Frigidaire opted to leave them off, without explanation!? Kind of makes you wonder why? Had it been available at the time, I would have just got another HomeLabs 1003, also a well rated 50-pint unit, which served me well for the 6 years of its life, which from my understanding is a pretty good run for this type of equipment. Only time will tell with the Frigidaire??
