Frigidaire FAD704TDD 70-Pint Dehumidifier, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this dehumidifier for about 2 weeks now.I guess it is a brand new model for this year and that is why I am the first review.I figured that last years model had good reviews so this years model can't be too bad.Plus I've had great luck with our 16 year old Frigidaire refrigerator so they must know compressors well.

Unit was boxed very well and packaged acceptally from Amazon.You cut the plastic straps off and lift off the box exterior from the base.You can then pick up the unit from the handle on top.It is a plastic handle but doesn't feel fragile when you lift it.It is pretty heavy, but wasn't a problem for me to carry downstairs to my garage.

Setup was easy if I remember correctly.Just pull off some tape in a couple of places and plug in the cord.I had it run on continuous for several days but have now dropped it down to keeping it at 35 or 40 percent.It has digital pushbutton controls which I haven't really explored too much.There is a 2 digit numeric display which I think shows the set value and after a moment the current humidity that it is seeing.I'd have to check the manual on that for sure though.That is the way it acted.

I current have it in a garage that is not very warm.It has been into the upper 30's and 40's there the past couple of weeks.I needed this dehumidifier out there to keep a bunch of woodworking tools from rusting.I drive the car into the garage and all of the snow drips off of it and onto the concrete.I was worried about the humidity level in there even in the winter.The equipment I have out there is worth too much to have it rust!

It is really sucking the moisture out of the air though.After about 5 days of running, I had a full bucket.It holds a lot of water.The bucket is easy to remove from the unit.It has a handle to carry it with.There isn't really a good spout on the bucket to pour it out of though - at least I haven't found a corner that works well yet.I poured the water down the floor drain and it kind of splashes a bit.

There is a way to hook a threaded garden hose up to the unit so you can just dump the water into a floor drain or wherever.

That is probably my biggest gripe is that they should of included a small 2-4 foot hose for that already.I don't want to go buy some 25 foot garden hose and cut it off to what I need.I'm going to see if I can buy a threaded end and basically make my own out of some tubing or something. I don't want to have to dump the bucket every few days and since I have a floor drain right there, that is the way I would operate it.Of course if you are using this in your house without access to an easy drain, you'll have to remove the bucket and maybe dump it in a bathtub or something.

I would imagine that as soon as the humidity gets here this summer, this unit will really be working hard.Of course opening the garage doors a couple times of day will really let the humidity back in but it will just have to pull it back out.

One more thing - I could NOT find this specific unit listed on any Frigidaire websites which kind of worried me that it is some off-model unit or something.I think Amazon just probably has access to selling it and have it listed before Frigidaire actually has it listed up on their website.

Soleus Air DP1-70-03, 70 Pint Portable Energy Star Dehumidifier, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My basement runs about 80% humidity all year round and stays about a constant 62 as well.I have had this unit running for a month and it has done everything I have asked of it.The basement is 1200 square foot and this dehumidifier has lowered the humidity to 55% which is where I have it set.I have it hosed to a drain and it is fairly loud on the high setting.The only negative I would note is the bucket seems a little flimsy if you are opting not to hose it to a drain.Actually it is the handle of the bucket that is suspect.Overall very happy with this product.

Product Description:
Effortlessly remove excess moisture from the air with this energy-efficient portable dehumidifier. Great for damp basements or any musty room of the house, the unit not only helps allergy sufferers breathe easier, it also helps prevent problems often caused by excess humidity--peeling paint, damaged wood, and mold growth. Durable rolling casters make it easy to move the lightweight dehumidifier from room to room, wherever it's needed most. The dehumidifier quietly removes up to 70 pints of water from the air every 24 hours. When the water bucket has filled to capacity, the unit will automatically shut off and the "bucket full" indicator will light up. Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a standard garden hose (not included) to the continuous drainage port on the side of the dehumidifier. This will allow the unit to run continuously without having to empty the water bucket. The dehumidifier also provides a push-button electronic control panel for selecting one of three fan speeds, increasing or decreasing the room-humidity level, or setting the two- to four-hour timer, which turns the unit off automatically after the after the elapsed time. Other highlights include an "on" indicator light, an automatic defrost function, low-temperature operation down to 40 degrees F, loss of power protection with auto restart, and a permanent washable filter. The unit not only provides exceptional performance and convenient features, it has also earned an Energy Star rating, which means it meets strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and U.S. Department of Energy. Energy Star products can help save up to a third on energy bills, as well as on greenhouse gas emissions. All of which means more comfortable indoor air without excess costs or impact on the environment. The 850-watt dehumidifier measures 11 by 15-1/3 by 23-5/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Soleus Air CFM-40 E 40-Pint Dehumidifier with Humidistat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I installed this unit in my basement about 8 months ago, and it has been working flawlessly ever since.

Things I noticed:

If the power goes out, the unit will NOT turn back on automatically (as some other units do.)

If you want to use the continuous drainage (which I highly recommend) via a hose, you have to punch out a plastic disc on the side of the unit.I would have designed a screw-type plug that was replacable, but they didn't think of that.Anyway, once you punch the quarter-size disc out it's out forever.

If you choose to use the continuous drainage feature, you will need to pick up a hose with an inner diameter of 15mm (.59" or just over half an inch.)I went to the local DIY center and found some clear tubing that has worked well.

The unit can operate down to 2-degrees C (36-degrees F), which will be great for continuous operation in the garage to keep the tools from rusting.

Has three fan settings: med, high and quiet."Quiet" really is quiet, and could probably work just fine in a bedroom.Though, it does warm the room it's in.How much it warms it depends on the humidity setting.

Four settings: The humidty level (humidstat) can be set to "continuous dehumidification" (which is the default setting), 50%, 60% and 70%.The fan will continue to run but the dehumidification processor will turn off when it reaches the selected humidity level.Cool.I mean, that's when the fan will just blow room-temp air.

A full drainage tank will stop the unit and illuminate a "tank full" indicator light.

The unit is not that heavy -- maybe for some, but not nearly as heavy as some people make it sound.It's 30.8 pounds.

According to the instructions: You will need at least 21 cm (about 8 inches) of clearance in front, behind and side to side.Air blows out of the top of the unit, so you'll need to make sure it's clear as well.

There are movable louvers on the top to direct the air straight up, 45-degrees or almost straight ahead.

Power consumption: CFM-25E is 220W//CFM-40E is 330W

I highly recommend this model dehumidifier.

***15-month UPDATE:It is still working like a champ!We haven't had one single problem with it, and I don't foresee ever really having one in the near future.I've been running this thing nonstop and it has only required me to clean the filter on the back (which takes 5 minutes.)It has remained as quiet as the day I bought it.It's awesome!
