5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!, January 30, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Frigidaire 50-Pint Dehumidifier, FAD504TDD (Kitchen)
I was a little hesitant buying this dehumidifier without any reviews on Amazon, but last year's model was highly-regarded so I figured there wasn't too much of a risk. All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Pros:
- Looks great... I know it's a dehumidifier, but it doesn't hurt that it actually isn't hideous
- Really sucks moisture out of the air
- Good energy efficiency
- Multitude of options on how to run (timer on/off, humidity level, continuous operation)
- Auto-restart after power failure

Cons:
- Not the quietest dehumidifier. I've noticed with mine that it tends to start off pretty noisy and level out after about 30 minutes
- No adjustment to the vent airflow is possible, it would be nice if you could direction it up/down/left/right, but this isn't a major issue

Overall impression:
Some reviewers of the last model had difficulty removing the bucket -- mine has posed no problems. I believe that they... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Unit but Terrible Bucket, May 17, 2010

I've recently replaced an 8-year old Frigidaire dehumidifier with this new model (FAD504TDB). I had excellent service from my old unit (which was still working but lost some of its punch) so I bought another Frigidaire. Here's my opinion of the new Frigidaire.
1. Packaging & ease of initial start-up was exceptional. It was up & running inside 5 minutes.
2. Noise Level. Not sure why some found the noise levels excessive. I'd say it's about 1/2 the noise level of older model so now I'll have to go down a few basement steps just to hear if it's running or not.
3. Comments after using unit. The unit has done a nice job in lowering my basement humidity level from 70%+ to the low 60%'s within a few days. However, I gotta say I hate the water bucket. It's made so cheaply (feels like a refrigerator vegetable bin). When full, you have to hold it with both hands from the bottom which makes it more difficult to carry up the stairs. The older unit had a much more... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Unit, but has some small problems, July 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Frigidaire 50-Pint Dehumidifier, FAD504TDD (Kitchen)
Original Review, July, 2010:

I bought this dehumidifier to replace a very old, non-working unit in my basement. Overall, it seems like a nicely made unit. I can live with its shortcomings because it does produce a lot of water, and that's what I care about. Also, the fan does produce a nice stream of air that reaches pretty far across my basement, which is good.

The cardboard box it comes in is a little unique - you cut the straps and then lift the box off of the unit, unless you don't read the instructions and lift the heavy unit out of the box, like I did.

To me, the unit seems a little bigger than it looks in the picture, so check the dimensions. As you would expect, it is somewhat heavy, but the handle is sturdy, and the unit rolls around on four casters.

Being in my basement, the noise level is not really important to me, but it is quieter than my old unit for two reasons. One reason is that it uses a squirrel-cage type blower fan,... Read more
