Frigidaire 50 Pint with Wi-Fi (FHDD5034Y1)

Model FHDD5034Y1

SCORE6.4 / 10

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.

Before you buy

  • 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.
