Frigidaire dehumidifier after
Needed another dehumidifier after our previous one was recalled for a
fire hazard. After researching and reading the reviews, I went to order
the Frigidaire, and a newer model was available as indicated by Amazon's
website. So I ordered the newer model and currently have it in our
finished basement. So far, I'm very pleased with the unit. It's very
easy to setup and operate. Has a extremely sturdy handle on the top,
which can slide down and hide out of the way. The handle is great when
you need to lift it a little to roll it around on the wheels. I set the
humidity setting to 45% and have emptied the water holder a couple
times. The fan shuts off and a little white light on the front at the
top will flash to let you know it's full. Very easy to empty. Once
empty, pop the water holder back in, and it starts right back up. One
thing caught my attention; the fan seems to run all the time. This is
not really a big thing for me, just a little unexpected. I thought maybe
it would shut off when the right humidity level was obtained, but
that's ok. The air coming out the side is a little warm, and with it
being in the basement, it does seem to keep the chill off the rooms.
Guess that can be looked at as a bonus. Overall, if you're needing a
dehumidifier, you can't go wrong with this one..
UPDATE (4.16.15): I
have this unit
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013BKDO8/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_5)
in the basement monitoring the humidity. After a couple days, it
indicated the humidity was low. I adjusted the humidity setting upward
on the Frigidaire. Next time I went down to check on the unit, the fan
was NOT running and the water holder was NOT full. I stand corrected on
the fan never shutting off.
