Only one whitelisted tester, Tom's Guide, hands-on reviewed this Frigidaire 50-pint dehumidifier. It praised fast, powerful moisture removal and simple push-button controls, but measured it loud (~63 dB on high vs 51 dB advertised) and flagged no app and heavy 41-pound bulk.

Tested by Tom's Guide

Consistently praised

  • Fast, powerful moisture removal (90%-35% RH in 40 min)
  • Simple no-frills push-button controls, easy to use
  • Well-suited to large, damp spaces; easy to move on casters + stow-away handle

Commonly flagged

  • Loud on high setting (measured ~63 dB vs 51 dB claimed)
  • No app / remote control at this price
  • Large and heavy (41 lbs)

Where reviewers disagree Single whitelisted source, so no cross-tester comparison is possible. Caveat: Tom's Guide titles the unit generically as the 'Frigidaire 50-Pint Dehumidifier' and never prints the FFAD5033W1 suffix in the article body, but the review's spec box (coverage up to 4,500 sq ft, Energy Star, operation down to 41F, 41 lbs, 1.7-gal bucket, no app, no pump, $279) matches this exact model, whose official product name is 'Frigidaire High Humidity 50-Pint Dehumidifier.'

Tom's Guide lab-tested ·

Humidity drop, basement bathroom (~100 sq ft): 90% to 35% RH in 40 min · Humidity drop, ~1,000 sq ft basement: 50% to 35% RH in 20 min · Power draw, high fan: ~350 W · Power draw, idle (plugged in, not running): ~40 W · Noise, high fan (decibel meter): ~63 dB (vs 51 dB advertised)

So the Frigidaire 50-Pint Dehumidifier works exceptionally quickly, especially on the highest fan setting.
While Frigidaire advertises the average sound rating at 51 decibels on high, my decibel meter measured an average of about 63 decibels.
The only other real drawback is the lack of an app to control it remotely.
