This is a big heavy unit so be aware of that if you will be moving it around a lot. It rolls great on most floors though including concrete, berber carpeting and wood floors without leaving scratches. The carry handle works great and retracts out of sight when not in use. This is probably the best looking dehumidifier I have ever seen and everyone who sees it mentions the looks of the thing before they even know what it is. It does exactly what it is supposed to do and collects water from the air - nice and clean. It is extremly loud on high fan setting so not a great bedroom unit, but it should be fine elsewhere.
It is a bit hard to empty, the "bucket" is actually the front panel (where you see that vertical line near the bottom). That is a water level indicator and when this thing is full it shuts off and a red light indicates its time to empty the water. The bucket does not come out of the machine very easily - it kind of sticks a bit and then gives all of a sudden. Pouring the water out of it is a tad tricky as the entire top is covered in clear plastic with these odd corner openings and the water just kind of gushes out when you tilt it. There is a door like rocker panel that I think was designed to be the exit port, but it does not work all that great.
You do have to leave it upright for an hour before running it for the first time and if it was delivered in a cold region - it needs to reach room temperature or it will not work properly. The digital controls are excellent and the power cord is a decent length, the designers made an attempt at storing the cord on the unit when not in use which works for the most part. Overall, I highly recommend this model even given the slight annoyances at emptying the bucket as it is a great value for a great appliance.

I've been using this dehumidifier for about 2 weeks now. I guess it is a brand new model for this year and that is why I am the first review. I figured that last years model had good reviews so this years model can't be too bad. Plus I've had great luck with our 16 year old Frigidaire refrigerator so they must know compressors well.
Unit was boxed very well and packaged acceptally from Amazon. You cut the plastic straps off and lift off the box exterior from the base. You can then pick up the unit from the handle on top. It is a plastic handle but doesn't feel fragile when you lift it. It is pretty heavy, but wasn't a problem for me to carry downstairs to my garage.
Setup was easy if I remember correctly. Just pull off some tape in a couple of places and plug in the cord. I had it run on continuous for several days but have now dropped it down to keeping it at 35 or 40 percent. It has digital pushbutton controls which I haven't really explored too much. There is a 2 digit numeric display which I think shows the set value and after a moment the current humidity that it is seeing. I'd have to check the manual on that for sure though. That is the way it acted.
I current have it in a garage that is not very warm. It has been into the upper 30's and 40's there the past couple of weeks. I needed this dehumidifier out there to keep a bunch of woodworking tools from rusting. I drive the car into the garage and all of the snow drips off of it and onto the concrete. I was worried about the humidity level in there even in the winter. The equipment I have out there is worth too much to have it rust!
It is really sucking the moisture out of the air though. After about 5 days of running, I had a full bucket. It holds a lot of water. The bucket is easy to remove from the unit. It has a handle to carry it with. There isn't really a good spout on the bucket to pour it out of though - at least I haven't found a corner that works well yet. I poured the water down the floor drain and it kind of splashes a bit.
There is a way to hook a threaded garden hose up to the unit so you can just dump the water into a floor drain or wherever.
That is probably my biggest gripe is that they should of included a small 2-4 foot hose for that already. I don't want to go buy some 25 foot garden hose and cut it off to what I need. I'm going to see if I can buy a threaded end and basically make my own out of some tubing or something. I don't want to have to dump the bucket every few days and since I have a floor drain right there, that is the way I would operate it. Of course if you are using this in your house without access to an easy drain, you'll have to remove the bucket and maybe dump it in a bathtub or something.
I would imagine that as soon as the humidity gets here this summer, this unit will really be working hard. Of course opening the garage doors a couple times of day will really let the humidity back in but it will just have to pull it back out.
One more thing - I could NOT find this specific unit listed on any Frigidaire websites which kind of worried me that it is some off-model unit or something. I think Amazon just probably has access to selling it and have it listed before Frigidaire actually has it listed up on their website.
