Frigidaire 50 pint Dehumidifier FDB50R1 Review

I've had this unit for just 2 weeks so I can't comment on its reliability.  However, I like it a lot.  I bought it to replace my Kenmore 50 pint dehumidifier 54514 that stopped working exactly 1 month after the 5 year compressor warranty expired.

The Frigidaire works very well and is about 50% quieter (big difference!) than the Kenmore I replaced.  It's also has a nicer appearance, and has a floating red ball to indicate the water level collected in the bucket.  I just connected a garden hose to it so I don't have to empty the bucket anymore and it's working fine.  So far, I highly recommend it.

Note if you're using the bucket, it can be a little difficult to remove it but, it's really not too bad.  The Kenmore had a carrying handle on top of the bucket which made carrying it very easy.  But I would NOT trash the Frigidaire for not having a handle.  I was able to remove and carry it just fine.
