Frigidaire Dehumidifier
Reviews and Ratings


  • The Frigidaire Dehumidifier is one of the most popular models in the USA.
  • Whether we talk about the 70 pint, 50 pint or 30 pint models these are among the strongest contenders for the title of "Best in Class" on the US market.
  • Although not outstanding in any one area these units are good performers across the whole range of measures we use when writing reviews of these appliances.
  • The Frigidaire Dehumidifier is not specifically designed for use in a basement but all three models are popular as basement dehumidifiers.
  • Many hundreds of reviews have been written about the effectiveness of the Frigidaire Dehumidifier in controlling basement dampness and eliminating those unwelcome musty smells.
  • All the models in the Frigidaire range are Energy Star® qualified and are widely available from major stores and home improvement centres for in-store purchase or web shopping.





The Frigidaire Dehumidifier range includes the following models:


Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 70 Pint Dehumidifier

  • The Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 is the latest 70 pint model from Frigidaire.
  • It is one of the best of its type for use in wet basements and is included among the selection of portable models we recommend
  • An increasing number of favorable reviews of the FFAD7033R1  suggest that this model will be very popular.

  • The Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 is an Energy Star® compliant 70 pint unit with the capacity to control humidity in a typically sized basement with a normal temperature of 65°F or higher.
  • The features of the FFAD7033R1 are similar to those of rival dehumidifier models but include auto-restart (after a power outage) which is absent from one or two other popular brands.

The Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 70 Pint Dehumidifier with Pump

  • The Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 70 Pint Dehumidifier with Pump is identical to the FFAD7033R1 except for the addition of an integral condensate pump.
  • This feature allows continuous drainage to an outlet at a far greater horizontal distance from the appliance than a gravity feed could cope with, or to an outlet on the floor above that on which the dehumidifier is located.
  • This is a first for Frigidaire and reflects the popularity of this feature which has been absent from Frigidaire models up until now.
  • If an integral pump is a must for you, and you are prepared to pay the additional cost, this is the model for you.

Company Background



Frigidaire is a household name but for those who would like to know a little more about the company that markets these appliances here is some background information.


The Frigidaire Dehumidifier is a well known and respected product but the company that that created the brand was originally founded as the Guardian Refrigerator Company, famous for developing the first self contained refrigerator.


There is a strand of continuity between the company's origins and its association with, among many other products, the dehumidifier. Refrigerant models, the most common type used in the home, incorporate a good deal of the technology first developed for the refrigerator.


The name "Frigidaire" was adopted in 1919 when the company was acquired by General Motors who owned it for sixty years. After a brief spell as part of White Consolidated Industries the company was bought by Electrolux, its current parent.


For many years the company was best known for washing machines but among its achievements was the introduction of the first room air conditioner, another link with the Frigidaire Dehumidifier.
