just...WOW! We have an older 35-pint model Frigidaire. It's been a workhorse for years! After being flooded by hurricane IDA's remnants, I looked for a 2nd dehumidifier. Saw other popular models, but thought a Frigidaire would be best. Turns out the reviews agree. Some complained of leaks, mold, and grease. NOT my experience. It's perfect! There's a bit of water that drips to the bottom when you pull out the collector to empty. That's it. It's loud on the highest setting. But wow..powerful, or we have a ton of water to clean up that we can't easily see! Since receiving this almost two weeks ago, it's been running 24/7, and we've been emptying an average of 3 FULL bins every day, so what's that... 150 pints?! How can all that water be there? Well, much of it is in the air, so...that's what helps the mold grow.
Multiple settings... the air cleaner wanted me to reset it... based on use... it was pretty clean... so I just pushed the button and it was reset. Put it on the CO setting... highest... it blows very warm air around...heats up the basement. It's all fine because that's what we need. Probably using a lot of energy, but it's what we need to get the water out. The odor in the basement is almost gone... and we are forever thankful for this dehumidifier! Meanwhile, the 35-pint is chugging away in the garage. I may swap them around. ALSO... when we do laundry, if this thing is running, the clothes dry in less than 1/2 the time - hung clothes, that is. No mold..no mildew... perfect! So far, no mold..no leaks out the pipe hookup as some stated...but I'll be watching. Couldn't be more pleased with this!
NOTE: You can set this much lower than the highest setting...even reduce the fan multiple clicks. It's pretty easy to use...rolls easily - 4 mini-wheels - and has a strong handle, similar to the older 35-pint model we have. It's kinda heavy...but it's a monster of a unit, so that's expected. I'm a big guy - 240 pounds, almost 6 feet tall - and I had to lug it around a bit. But again..it rolls nicely on a smooth floor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dehumidifier!
Through Wayfair, it got here several days earlier than expected - been my experience every time...yay! So ...all good things!
Included some photos in this review. You'll see the handle, the air-cleaner/screen - easy to remove - and the water that accumulates when you pull out the bin to empty. And..I should read the manual.. Larry Seltzer. Fresh Meadows, NY. 2021-09-27 15:00:02
