With a dehumidifier, you can forget how uncomfortable you are.


Manufacturer Description

A dehumidifier is a simple means of preventing the growth of mold, mildew, and dust mites in your home, as well as maintaining a cool, comfortable atmosphere.  This is key for those who suffer from allergies or asthma, but important for others, as well; keeping humidity levels down can avert insect infestations, and can prevent rotting and structural damage in household walls.  Dehumidifiers are most often needed in basements, or in new construction, which generally makes use of wallboard and is more likely to produce mold.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

I bought this because my basement was so humid and mold was forming from it. I read soooo many reviews for different humidifiers and this one seemed to be the best and it is, I LOVE it!! I noticed a huge difference in a few days. And it's not really loud like others claim... I put it in my basement and hear nothing. If you were to use it in living space of course you would have to turn your t.v. up, but not as loud as other reviews said. The water pan is a little hard to pull out. Make sure you pull both sides at the same time, pulling one side doesn't do it. Other than that I totally recommend this if you want to get rid of humidity. Good luck!!

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

We bought this dehumidifier specifically for our basement. We liked that it was made for lower temperatures. As other reviews have said, it is on the noisy side, but because it is in our basement, that isn't an issue for us. My husband was able to hook up some PVC pipe to the unit so it drains directly into my laundry room sink, rather than having to empty the water out of it every day or so. I hesitated to buy this unit sight unseen, but am glad that I did.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

This is a great Dehumidifier. We use it in our very humid/damp basement and it has effectively removed moisture and helped to eliminate dank odor. It is not small and not quiet however...no problem in out large basement, but I would not want this thing in my bedroom. I like that it is energy star rated and that it can have a hose attached to drain continuously to a sump pump, although we haven't use that feature yet. The bucket is easy to remove and reinstall, the controls are easy to use and understand.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

I purchased this recently to replace a decent one I had used for 4 years. I really was very impressed with the way this unit worked right off the bat. Very easy to set up and its pumping out water by the gallon. Just terrific. Within less than 2 days, this room of the basement was bone dry. I've only had it for several weeks, so time will really tell but if the first few weeks are any indication, I'm more than happy. Rainbow Appliances was wonderful, as well... in both price [...]... Great Outfit and Thank You. Michael

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

We use this item to take our fully furnished basement (TV Room, Play Room and Bed Room with Bath and landry room) to reduce the 50% humidity to 35% humidity.

Keep in mind, the bulk of the noise is the power of the internal fan, so this unit has the ability to hand the 900 square basement, however the fan is LOUD. So find a place the unit doesn't disturb the other sections of the basement.

We bought a garden hose and cut it to length, to drain into the floor drain 20 feet away. So the unit is working 24/7. When you buy a garden hose, just remember to use a basic connector hose, in order to fit through the side of the unit and connect it to the male connector inside the unit.

Besides it being loud, I wish the unit had a timer that you could set to power up and down at certain times...the current timer allows you to set a length of time as a count down timer.

seems to be working well...have had it only a little over 3 weeks, but the basement does seem significantly drier. Hoping the mildew will be kept at bay.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

I have a very moist basement with a serious mold problem. I bought this to reduce the moisture. This dehumidifier does just that. Before I bought this dehumidifier the relative humidity was always around 75%. Within 24 hours of using this dehumidifier the humidifity had dropped to around 35%. The bucket fills itself about every 24 hours, but I have attached a hose so that it just empties into a drain (great feature). Now it is kinda noisy and turns on and off, but for me I will never notice because it is in the basement!

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

Attaching a hose to circumvent the need to take out the water pan--difficult at best--took some Googling to accomplish. So here are tricks that worked: Buy and install an extra washer in the female end of the hose. Get gravity to help things out by placing the unit on a table. That said, I am very pleased with this model; we'll see how it holds up over time.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

There is some misinformation out there on this product and as a potential buyer at the time I had a little trouble sorting it out. I will do my best to give you all the info you need.

"Is it quiet?" You have to understand what you think is quiet, may not be for someone else! I feel this dehumidifier sits right in the middle. I have it in my living room, and if I want to watch TV, then I will turn it off. Otherwise I leave it on. Most people will have it in the basement so it's not a problem. It's best described as a loud fan and could be annoying to some if it's right in a common area. You have to understand that what this machine is doing for you is probably much more important than white noise.

"Which model should you get?" This is the common mistake people are making. For some reason people are thinking the difference between the two models is how much it can hold. I read someone's review about the "Glad I got the 70 pint container" THIS IS FALSE! There is a 50pint, and 70pint version. BOTH have a 17 PINT container. It's the same size container for both models! The difference is one can remove more per day than the other. I have to say if you are removing more than 50 pints per day you have some problems! If you had the 70 pint version and were actually drawing 70 pints per day, you would be dumping 4.2 full buckets per day. I feel the 50 pint is more than sufficient in 99% of cases, and is much easier to find (best buy, lowes, etc...) I was considering ordering it online, but I needed it asap so went with a local vendor at a higher price.

"I read it's turning on and off constantly" I have noticed that mine will do this. Not as bad as some have said, but I think the problem is the exhaust (dry) air that has been processed is being circulated back into the intake. By placing the machine on the left hand side of a wall with an unobstructed flow of dry air, you will decrease this issue. If this bothers you too much, use it every other day.

"I read the bucket is hard to empty." It's actually easy to remove. Just push the sides in as you unhook the bucket. Not sure why people think it's hard. What could be improved is creating a spout to dump the water as it's a little unclear which side you are supposed to dump from (although the instructions show you) Overall this IS a little awkward because of handle position and weight distribution. It doesn't sit square on the floor. A great improvement would be wheels on the bucket to roll out of the machine. It's a non issue for me though.

"Does it blow hot air?" Some say it does, but mine does not. I would almost say it's cool air, but I think it's just because it's a fan blowing, and I do run it constantly.

Hope this helps you out. I've had this machine for about a month now and it's great. I live near the ocean, and I collect firearms and lots of vintage items, and after a small mold issue I had enough and bought this locally (50 pint version). I am amazed at how much water I am removing from the air. Your house will feel cooler in the summer due to lower humidity, but should also feel warmer in the winter.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

We recently had quite a lot of rain here in GA and our old dehumidifier just could not keep up. All of the local stores were sold out due to the wide spread flooding, but we were able to order this Frigidaire and it arrived very quickly. We have been very pleased with it's performance. The basement was very damp and there was condensation on everything. Within 2 days the whole basement was dry. We used the continuous setting and connected a hose so we would not have to empty it constantly. Now we leave it on 45%. It keeps our full basement very dry and does just fine on the low fan setting. We love that it stops itself when the filter needs cleaning!

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

When our old dehumidifer finally stopped working, I did a lot of research into which model to buy. Overall, the reviews were discouraging, as it appears that dehumidifiers can often be unreliable/undependable.

After much reading, it appeared that Frigidaire Model FDF70S1 was the most reliable, as well as being reasonably-priced for a large-capacity dehumidifier. We purchased one about 3 months ago, and a second one a week or two ago. (Our large basement has two sections - one finished, and one unfinished, but we had been running just one older unit, from our previous, smaller home.)

We noticed a definite difference in the temperature and smell of our basement rec room within a couple of days of running the unit on "Continuous" (see below.) The room was so chilly, that it was actually unpleasant to spend time in, but now, it's quite pleasant, what with the drier air feeling warmer. The unit also pumps out some warm air (which is a benefit, in our case.)

Compared to our older, more modest unit, (as well as compared to other current models), this model has tons of great features! First of all, many current units require the owner to drill a hole in a plastic spout in order to attach a hose. Once drilled, there's no going back if the hose doesn't work out. This unit allows the user to run a hose from a special port, with no drilling required. Better yet, if there is a bad connection, the hose will drain right into the collection bucket (stopping the unit when it is full), rather than dripping out onto the floor.

The water bucket pops right out, even when the machine is "on" (not running, but powered-on.) Our old unit required the user to turn the unit off before removing the bucket, and then have to turn the unit back on.

The unit has multiple settings, including High and Low fan speeds, as well as a continuous setting that will keep the unit running, regardless of how the humidity in the room compares to the humidity setting. The instructions recommended running the unit on Continuous the first couple of days, which worked well for us.

Another great feature is an electronic filter reminder that blinks on after a certain number of hours of use. This is a really, really convenient way to remember this very important bit of maintenance! (We just had to remember to do it on our old unit, and as a result, we rarely did it.)

The unit also shows a current humidity reading, which is a nice feature. I also understand that it will operate under colder conditions than we have, as well. (Apparently, other units can stop working when they get very cold.) There is also a Timer function, as well (which we don't use.) Another nice feature is that the unit is EnergyStar rated, so we feel more confident that it isn't an "energy hog."

The only negatives that I can think of are as follows: the bucket has a convenient handle, but it is open on part of the top, so it can spill-over while being removed from the unit and/or transported to the sink. Some owners have also reported that it is noisy. This isn't an issue for us, since it is not in an area of our home where we are living non-stop.

A family member who spends more time in the room also reports that it can sometimes cycle on and off somewhat frequently. But, if it is an annoyance, it can always be turned onto the Continuous setting, temporarily turned off, or have its settings changed up or down. (Perhaps this is what the Timer setting is for.)

Anyway, I have taken the time to write this lengthy review because I feel very strongly that this is a great product, and I appreciated other people's reviews to make my decision. I have already recommended the unit to a friend!

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

I set this dehumidifier up in my basement. It is quieter than the previous unit I had, even on the high fan setting, and it seems to remove quite a bit of water.
I had read some reviews that said it was too noisy for a sleeping area. This may be true, but it's probably a lot less noisy than most units. I also read a complaint about it cycling on and off too frequently. I find that it is very reasonable in this regard. Another review claimed that the fan keeps running, even when the compressor turns off. This almost kept me from buying the unit, for fear of the fan burning out. However, the fan does turn off along with the compressor when the desired humidity level is achieved, so no problem there.
I have it connected to a drain hose, which I consider a "must", because the bucket fills very quickly, even though it is quite large. Since I don't have a floor drain available, I purchased a small water pump separately. The hose drains to the pump which, when full, pumps the water to a nearby sink. I never need to empty the bucket. I've only had the unit for about three weeks, but it is doing an excellent job so far!

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

We had mold issues in our basement and within a couple of days of setting up the dehumidifier, before we even had a chance to clean up the existing mold, the smell improved dramatically. It is a huge relief to have a dry basement. We should have done this two years ago when we bought the house, but we were rookies. I can't speak to the longevity of this machine because we've only had it a few weeks, but so far I'm very satisfied. I don't notice the sound and we attached a hose to drain it into the sink for continuous operation.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

I use this dehumidifier mainly for the bathroom. It absorbs around 20-25% humidity per hour (based on my observation), and so I think it's quite effective and efficient. However, it's a little bit noisy, and that's why I give it four stars.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

There were some reviews that indicated the water pan is awkward and difficult to empty. I did not find this at all. Water pan pops right out and is easy to empty. Unit is a little noisy but since I am using it in my basement the noise does not bother me.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

Has worked very well to clear basement humidity and odor. The drain hose doesn't seem to be working so I'm still emptying the pan often, but the hose I'm using is most likely the problem. After getting a different drain hose I hope the drain to work as I expected...

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

Compared to others I have owned, this unit is relatively quiet. It is used in an unfinished basement and works well, if a little slow. The water pan is a bit awkward to handle. Since I don't have a place to allow it to drain into, I need to empty the bucket daily, and it fills a bit too much to make for easy handling without a little splash here and there. This is a bit of a nuisance but it's not terrible once you get the hang of it. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

The unit performs great so far. I live near the Ocean where the humidity is always high (90%), so the unit operates a lot. I have only had it a week so, I am not sure how it performs in the long run. It is too noisey to run at night in an open area; however, I have been using it mostlyin the basement where it work perfectly. The difference in the room is night and day. No more musty smell!

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

Many entries have been made about the water pan being difficult to remove. I have not had an issue with it. You simply squeeze the sides of the pan, it clicks free, and you pull it out. Replacing is a matter of sliding it into place until it clicks into position. The only noise the unit makes is the usual fan noise, which is expected. That being said, it is very quiet as you do not hear the compressor cycling at all.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

The unit works very well at removing humidity. It is by no means a quiet unit, and should not be used in the general living area. When it reaches the set humidity level it then runs/stop cycles every 20 seconds or so to sense the air which is annoying. My unit when set at 50% is about 2% off the actual humidity which I feel is good enough. Others have complained about the units gauge being way off. [...] Overall I am happy with the product. [...]

This unit seems much better designed than the smaller no-name brand it replaced. Better coils, quieter operating. Seems to be working very well, the musty smell in my basement was gone in 2 days. I have a garden-hose style drain tube attached to the built-in external drain connector.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

I did a lot of research online and read a lot of reviews on this dehumidifier. The price, including shipping, was cheaper through rainbow appliance than anywhere else so I placed the order. I was replacing a goldstar 50 pint dehumidified that died after two years, which was good because it sounded like I had a construction crew working in my basement. I have had the frigidaire dehumidifier for about three weeks now and I am impressed. It is very quite, easy to empty, and easy to operate. I have it in my finished basement and I am impressed with the amount of water it absorbs. So far it is much better than my previous unit. I usually do not write reviews in lenght but other peoples good reviews are what led me to this product, therefore, I will do the same for the next potential buyer. Save yourself some time and purchase this dehumidifier. The price is right and it will show up at your home in a few days.

Our damp smelling basement has been completely transformed, the air is fresh and dry. Have used both the reservoir and hose approach and both work great. Highly recommend.

Comments about Frigidaire Low Temp Basement Dehumidifier:

Our unfinished Georgia basement has been slightly damp and humid since we moved into our home. I had considered getting a dehumidifier for some time. After much research (I tend to over-analyze), I decided this was THE model to get, and Rainbow Appliance was THE place to get it. I have not been disappointed. I wish I had purchased it long ago. The air is so much better now.

This unit is smartly designed including the packaging. It was very easy to unpack and set-up. The manual is easy to follow. I do wish it included information about recommended humidity levels. The unit is also super easy to empty although it fills very often -- initially 1-2 times per day, so I wish it had a larger tank and would constantly alarm when full to better attract my attention. (Maybe I should have bought the 70 pt.) I solved that problem by running a short hose from it to the air conditioner condensation pump so I no longer have to empty it at all! The unit is attractive and easy to move around.
