My advice when buying any dehumidifier is to buy an extended warranty of three years or longer or buy it from a retailer such as Sam’s Club or Costco with a liberal return policy.Chris Carlson, owner of Appliance Care in Minneapolis, said that he’s not getting as many dehumidifier repair calls as he used to. I am happy to report that the unit is still functioning normally.Manufacturing quality has sunk pretty low when I find myself celebrating that an appliance has lasted two years. I also purchased a four-year extended warranty for $40. I replaced it under the extended warranty with another Frigidaire (model FAD504DWD) in June 2014. The Frigidaire model lasted almost two years, a step in the right direction. Frigidaire FFAD6022W1.I got so frustrated with replacing $200 dehumidifiers every year that I started buying them at Costco to take advantage of the unconditional return policy on most items.Costco held up its end of the bargain by allowing me to return two LG models and one Consumer Reports-recommended Danby model that all quit dehumidifying (the fan still worked) after a year or so.But none of the models that Costco was selling in 2012 was highly rated online, so I bought a Frigidaire at Best Buy along with an extended warranty.
I would have to disassemble the unit or spend $100 or more at a repair center.The manufacturer does not recommend taking off the cover to clean the coils, but several sites online show how it can be done. Unfortunately, the Frigidaire model doesn’t allow the consumer to do that easily. The Frigidaire has a “clean filter” light that alerts me to clean the filter about every seven days.He also suggests using compressed air to blow out the dust on the condenser coils.
Consumer Reports evaluates each model tested for noise.I also like the automatic shut-off when the humidity in the room falls below a certain level. But if yours is in a commonly used living area, you will want a quieter model. I have mine in the basement where I spend little time, so noise is not a factor. Before you buy a used dehumidifier, make sure it’s not on the recall list.I’ve had more than my share of dehumidifiers in the past seven years, so I’ll recommend a few features to look for when you are shopping around. For a list of models affected, go to Greedehumidifierrecall.com or call 1-86. More than 2 million units were recalled from manufacturers such as Danby, DeLonghi, Fedders, Fellini, Frigidaire, GE, Gree, Kenmore, Norpole, Premiere, Seabreeze, SoleusAir and SuperClima.
Amazon still sells the 50-pint model, and it gets good reviews. The 50-pint Frigidaire model that I bought at Best Buy is no longer sold there, although they do have the 70-pint model. I had one model in which I never cleaned the filter because I didn’t know it existed.Regardless of the model you choose, I recommend going against conventional wisdom and buying an extended warranty.Carlson doesn’t consider any one brand better than another. The “clean filter” alert is also a good reminder, especially because Frigidaire hid the filter above the water reservoir.
