Amazon.com Product Description

How It Works

When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coil. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air and air flows through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier.

• 70 pints of moisture per day dehumidification.

• Effortless humidity control allows you to control the exact percentage of humidity in your room.

• Continuous operation is possible when unit is located near a suitable drain.

• Protects your home from mold and mildew caused by excess moisture and Helps eliminate bacteria in the air that can make breathing difficult.

• Anti-microbial mesh filter.

• AHAM certified and Energy Star compliant.

Effortless Clean Filter
The antibacterial mesh filter reduces bacteria, room odors and other airborne particles for a cool, comfortable environment. The washable filter keeps your air smelling fresh. Cleaning the filter is a breeze. Located in the bottom of the unit, the filter slides out for easy access. The CLEAN FILTER light will illuminate after 250 hours, about every 2 weeks, of operation. At this time, remove the bucket and pull the filter downwards. Then, wash the filter with clean water and let dry completely. Once the filter has been cleaned and replaced, simply press the FILTER button to extinguish the light and the unit is ready to get back to work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't last, warranty practically useless, April 28, 2011

I bought mine at the local big-box home improvement store. It is used in my heated basement, which I want extra-dry as my firearms and other sensitive items are stored there.

After six months it started making a lot of noise. I checked it and found that the cooling coils were completely iced up, totally blocking the air flow. I let it defrost completely and tried again, with the same icing resulting after a few hours. I checked the manual. which gave "room temperature is too low" as the cause. Doubtful, I thought, but it is winter and only about 60 degrees in here. So I waited to spring and tried again. Now there is no cooling effect at all, and no water output. Obviously the icing was from the cooling fluid leaking, and finally it all leaked out resulting in the total lack of operation.

This is my second Frigidaire dehumidifier. The first had a fan motor failure after six months.

Obviously Frigidaire is no longer synonymous with quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars This dehumidifier does the trick, July 26, 2011

Customer Video Review Length:: 3:27 Mins

I freely admit that this review is inspired as much by the opportunity to experiment with posting a video as by a desire to provide something useful. Still, you may find some help here.

Two things will be obvious: first, I'm clearly no videographer; second, this is a pretty good product.

In the space of about 3-1/2 min. this video will

1. walk you through a typical use case in a basement,
2. show you how to use the dehumidifier, and
3. offer a simple (and in many cases, cost-free) way of connecting the dehumidifier to a floor drain.

I hope you find this useful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works like a sponge--but needs a modification for hose drainage, June 22, 2011

This review is from: Frigidaire FAD704DUD 70 Pt. Dehumidifier (Misc.)
This unit sucks water from the air by the gallons. I set it up in my finished basement and right out of the box it worked great. So well, in fact, I needed to empty the large capacity tank too often. So I opened up the back hose valve, connected a short garden hose and pointed it to the floor drain. The unit kept filling up the tank and did not drain out the hose :-(. It appears that the hose drain in the back just works on gravity--there's no pump. So if the floor is not level and/or if the hose is a little narrower than the male connector on the back of the unit (as most are) the water will not drain through the hose the valve. The fault is poor product design. To remedy, I bought a right-angle PVC adapter, barb adapter and clear tubing (to visually see whether it was working) from Flex PVC.com. Parts: "508-007 FGH by .75 FPT (female NPT) 90degree", "PPN46 3/4 mpt x 1/2 barb adapter", and "1/2 x 5/8 Clear Tubing BTF". The right angle adapter is large and maintains the 3/4"... Read more
