Remove up to 50 pints of moisture per day from your home with this Frigidaire dehumidifier. It turns off automatically when it's almost full to prevent leaking, and the Ready-Select controls let you change options with the touch of a button. This Frigidaire dehumidifier has caster wheels, so you can move it from room to room.
Q: Will this work in 2100 square feet house or is it single room use?
A: Hello, This unit only works for 1000 sqft.
A: Yes there is a timer. Can set it in 1/2 hour increments up to 10 hours and then 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. Timer will let you either Delay Start or Delay Stop the unit.
A: The general guide for choosing the size of dehumidifier to use is: 30 pint capacity is for 1500 square feet or less 50 pint capacity is for 1500 to 2500 square feet 70 pint capacity is for more than 2500 square feet. Note that the capacity is how much water the unit is able to remove from the air IF the unit runs continuously for 24 hours. I use the 50 pint capacity unit in my 1200 square foot basement here in Michigan. I have it set to maintain 60% RH (relative humidity) and it cycles on and off throughout the day. On average during the summer, it removes about 15 pints per day (16 pints is 2 gallons). I do not have a sump pump in the basement and our laundry is not in the basement. I have never had wet or noticeably damp basement walls, but it did smell like a basement. Using the dehumidifier has removed the basement smell. Based on my experience, I believe the 30 pint capacity unit would have been capable of doing the job in my basement.
Q: Does this dehumifier have an automatic drain for a hose hookup?
A: It has a male garden hose connection on the side of the unit.
A: Yes. If you empty the bucket, there will still be some water behind the capped port.
Q: Can i get a hose for this dehumidifier?
A: I actually have 2 of these, for different houses. I hooked up a hose to both of them. One in an unused basement shower, another (my main house) hose running to floor drain. I never have to empty them. Note this unit does not have a pump. So drain needs to be lower than then dehumidifier.
Q: How do you get the filter out to clean it?
A: To remove the filter to clean it you must remove the bucket first. Once the bucket is out then the filter can be pulled down and out of the unit. It is a simple task to perform.
Q: How loud is it? and how much does it weigh?
A: the noise level reaches to 51dB and it weighs approximately 41pounds
