| Our take | A real current-test 50 with published noise figures and a 2.7-gallon bucket, equal to the Midea Cube 50 on pints and efficiency. Buy it when it's priced at or below the Cube; the one-year warranty is thin. | Our default for a damp basement that stays above 41°F with a drain nearby: it ties the best 50-pint portables on certified pints and efficiency and usually costs less. Check its humidity reading against a hygrometer in the first week, and don't count on the one-year warranty past year one. |

| Watch out for | It ships in Auto mode, which won't take a humidity setting; switch to Dry to set a target. One year parts and labor with no sealed-system term; owner reports on older Frigidaire dehumidifiers repeat coil icing and failures inside three or four years. Frigidaire's spec sheet prints 50 pints with no test condition; the 65°F rating comes from ENERGY STAR. Listings titled Frigidaire 50-Pint without a Y1 model number are older units, such as the FFAD5034W1. | Check the built-in humidity reading against a separate hygrometer in week one; a stuck-near-30% or ~20-points-low reading on a new unit is a known return-window fault. Amazon sells Midea 50-pint units with near-identical titles that aren't Cubes (MAD50P1AWS-A, MAD50C1AWS-A). A Cube 50 model number starts MAD50S1 (no pump) or MAD50PS1 (pump). You lift the heavy top section off the bucket to empty it; run it on a hose if you can. |
