50 Pint Dehumidifier With Pump De500p

50 Pint Dehumidifier With Pump De500p

The Frigidaire FAD504DUD 50-pint Dehumidifier is an Energy Star Compliant 50-pint per day dehumidifier capable of ceaseless operation when the unit is located near a suitable drain. It features full-function electronic controls, an without apparent effort accessible collection container with level indicator, and a washable filter that removes both moisture and airborne particules. The integrated casters concede you to move the unit effortlessly to wherever it’s needed.

The Frigidaire FAD704TDP 70 Pint Dehumidifier is one of the best dehumidifiers for basements amongst the numerous portable dehumidifiers on the market today. While no dehumidifier is flawless, the Frigidaire 70 Pint Dehumidifier is one of the best all round performers, is competitively priced and very well thought of by the a good deal of buyers who have written dehumidifier reviews of the FAD704TDP.

The most mutual reason for buying a portable dehumidifier in the USA is for use in a basement. For this reason the majority of portable dehumidifier purchases are of more spectacular capacity units, in the 50 to 70 pint range. Smaller dehumidifiers are less popular and their use is confined principally to little areas of the home, with an apart humidity problem, and areas outside the home, such as garages, workshops, vehicles (particularly RV’s) and boats.

A huge capacity portable dehumidifier is a utterly good choice for use in a basement provided two important conditions are met. First, the basement ought to be little sufficient for the dehumidifier to control the humidity without having to run continuously; second, and even more important, the air temperature in the basement ought to stay at a minimum of 60F degrees (15-16C) at all, or almost all, times.

Let us take these two conditions in turn. If the area of your basement is too big for a 70 pint dehumidifier it will run all the time and struggle to maintain relative humidity at 50% or less, the level necessary to prevent mold and mildew and to restrict the dust mite population. The dehumidifier will be highpriced to run, will wear out within a year or two and will neither protect your property adequately nor control allergens to the level necessitated to safeguard those who are sensitive.

If you consider buying two portable dehumidifiers for a more prominent basement my counsel to you is don’t. A purpose-built basement dehumidifier will always be less costly in the longer term in spite of having a much higher ticket price.

If your basement temperature falls under 60F degrees and stays there for weeks and months at a time a portable dehumidifier is a very poor investment. Although portable dehumidifiers have an “auto-defrost” function this does not make them suitable for operation in low temperatures, it merely protects the appliance from damage. Once again you will get far better service and value for cash from a basement dehumidifier which is designed and built to be effective at cooler temperatures.

So, if you have a somewhat warm basement that is not too huge why must you consider a Frigidaire FAD704TDP 70 Pint Dehumidifier? It has all the features you would suppose it to have; Energy Star certification, an adaptable humidistat, continuous drainage capability, 24 hour timer, easy to use electronic controls, an anti-microbial filter, a digital humidity read-out and, of course, auto-defrost. The only thing missing is auto-restart, so if the power fails you will have to restart it manually.

None of these features is particular in a room dehumidifier but all are necessary or desirable. The FAD704TDP is likewise reasonably quiet, more authenti than most and an satisfactory weight. All in all it is a well balanced appliance and is available from a heap of merchants who sells goods at retail at under $200. This represents splendid value for cash which is the essential reason why I commend this dehumidifier.

If you wish to consider substitute brands I would commend the Danby DDR7009REE 70 Pint Dehumidifier, regarding which I could make much the same remarks. It is available at a similar price and does include auto-restart. Of the alien imports my favored is the Winix 70 Pint Dehumidifier. This unit is in a similar class to the two US made models but is rather more expensive. It justifies it is higher price by the inclusion of an integral condensate pump with a 15 foot vertical lift capacity so if you do not have a convenient, floor level drain you may wish to consider this dehumidifier; in my opinion amidst the best dehumidifier imports on the market.

The other substitute is to go for the less powerful Frigidaire FAD504TDD 50 Pint Dehumidifier. Unless you have a reasonably little basement I would advise caution here. While the 50 pint model is as sound as it is “big brother” the modest saving on the ticket price is likely to be wiped out by higher energy costs.

Smaller dehumidifiers use less energy per hour but are less energy effective than larger units. This is true disregarding of the manufacturer. The Energy element of the Frigidaire 50 Pint Dehumidifier is 1.6 litres (of water) per kilowatt hour. The 70 pint model has an energy element of 1.8L/kw hr (figures from Energy Star). This means that the 70 pint unit extracts 12.5% more water per kw hr than the 50 pint model. In any basement the 50 pint dehumidifier will run for more hours per day than the 70 pint unit. Unless your basement is comfortably within the size range with which a 50 pint dehumidifier may deal effortlessly it will be more effective, and cheaper, to buy the FAD704TDP.

Works great, unless you want to use neverending draining
By J. Douglas
I use this in my finished basement, and it does an magnificent occupation of keeping it dry. I used it when it was 98 and humid and it did it is job. I had to empty it out with regards to two times a day. When the temperature dropped to the 70s and humidity dropped, I emptied it out in regards to once a day. I may be away from my house a couple days at a time, so I hooked up a hose. Initially, it did not drain out of the hose, but rather continued to drain into the bucket. I took off the rear two wheels so it tips back a bit, now it drains through the hose.

If you are giving careful consideration to purchasing this, I would look elsewhere to a product that was designed correctly rather of calling for to make an adjustment. If you already purchased this, want to use continuous draining, but do not want to return it, either put galore cardboard at the front of the dehumdifier, or take off the rear wheels so it will drain from the hose rather of into the bucket. Hopefully there are no other design errors with this product, since it keeps my basement dry.

Register Your Product At Frigidaire.com
By M. Hines
[...]

I received this unit free of charge because my old unit failed AND because I registered that buy online at the Frigidaire website.

I in the first place purchased the Frigidaire 50-pint humidifier (Model FDF50S1) in June of 2009 [i.e. the 2009 version of this product] through Amazon.com. The unit worked perfectly for two years then stopped dehumidifying. The unit would power on, one could change the fan speed, but the unit would not dehumidify even though the unit was set to Continuous (CO) and a hyrgrometer showed the basement room to be at 49% humidity.

After contacting a local Frigidaire authorized repairer, I learned these units are considered “throwaway” meaning there are no serviceable elements (except the filter). The units are less pricey to replace than repair, so the manufacturer does not trade any substitute constituents (except the filter). My 2009 scheme had a one year full warranty (long past) and a Years 2-5 “Sealed System” warranty (the sealed refrigeration system).

I called Frigidaire (eventually directed to Electrolux Home Appliances, the actual manufacturers of Frigidaire dehumidifiers), and was expecting to have to recompense galore cost to get my unit replaced. The rep told me that since the dehumidifier system failed (within the five year warranty) the unit would be substituted with a new 50-pint unit FREE OF CHARGE. Frigidaire arranged for me to pick up a new unit (this unit) at Lowe’s at no cost to me.

Since my unit was REGISTERED ONLINE AT FRIGIDAIRE.COM at the time of purchase, I did not have to submit any receipts nor send the old unit back.

Therefore, I have two summary points:
1. These dehumidifiers only last a few years
2. Make sure you register your Frigidaire dehumidifier buy on-line after you buy. It will make the alternate procedure alot easier.
