The Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 comes with three fan speeds: high, medium, and low, which come in handy when catering for rooms with different levels of moisture.

We found it is capable of removing 70 pints of moisture in a day from large spaces measuring up to 1300 sq ft, after running this unit in a large wet basement area with moisture level of 85% RH. We ran this dehumidifier for 120 hours and noticed in about 3.5 hours relative humidity was at optimal level of 55%.

This unit also comes with a very accurate humidistat that reads and works automatically to maintain the user’s desired humidity levels. The Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 features an automatic defrost system that runs the fan to eliminate build-up ice from the refrigerant coils, which allows the unit to work well in areas that experience extremely low temperatures.

The Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 comes with several notable features that makes it easily usable.

The apparent ease of using the Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 dehumidifier is also attributable to its three drainage methods:

1. Using the Bucket

The Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 dehumidifier features a large condensate bucket that can hold 13 pints of water. This tank has an anti-spill feature that prevents water from pouring out when the user is transporting it to a sink for emptying. It also comes with a handle that makes it easy to carry.

2. Continuous Drainage

The Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 dehumidifier comes with a drainage adapter that comes in handy when looking to connect a hose to the unit to facilitate continuous removal of condensate. This method relies on gravity to pull the water, which means that the drain system must be on a lower level than the unit.

3. Assisted Continuous Drainage

The Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 dehumidifier comes with an in-built condensate pump that enables it to push the collected water out with ease. This pump enables the unit to drain the condensate over greater distances as compared to the gravity method. It also allows users to pump the water to a drain located on a higher level than the dehumidifier, including a sink.

The Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 dehumidifier is averagely sized, measuring 11.6 x 15 x 24.4 inches. This unit weighs about 47 pounds, meaning that the user doesn’t need to be all muscled up to carry it from one room to the other, or even up the stairs.

Besides, it features a single retractable handle that renders lifting and moving it around a breeze. Also, this unit is fitted with four easy-gliding caster wheels that allow users to push it around with ease.

The Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 dehumidifier is among the easiest units to maintain. Users will only need to clean the filter after every two weeks of average use or when the clean filter light turns on. They may clean the filter using clean water and leave it to dry.

Also, users should use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the filter’s cabinet and a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust from the grille before reinstalling the filter. They may also clean the condensate bucket using a combination of warm water with soap or detergent to prevent mineral buildup.

Based on our tests in different environment, we can confirm that Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 can be used as a whole-house dehumidifier that can be used to eliminate moisture from large rooms measuring up to 1300 sq. ft.

• Thanks to its three fan speeds, this unit can be used to control humidity in rooms with specific requirements.

• Its ability to get rid of common indoor air pollutants combined with low noise operation makes this unit ideal for bedrooms and baby rooms.
• With the ability to remove 1.85 liters of water after drawing just one kilowatt of power in an hour, the Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 dehumidifier is the ideal weapon for combating excess moisture in vacation homes, leaky basements and crawl spaces.
• Thanks to its anti-defrost feature, this unit can be used in colder area where temperatures go as low as 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
• The auto-restart feature that saves pre-programmed settings makes the Frigidaire FFAP7033T1 dehumidifier ideal for crawl spaces, basements, and vacation homes, generally, areas that are less frequented by the user.
