The Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 70-Pint dehumidifier is loaded with easy-to-use features for effortless operation. Its quietness, efficient use of energy and portable design make it a great choice for home or basement use. The Frigidaire highlights low temperature operation, an adjustable humidistat with digital humidity read-out, auto restart, 2 fan speeds, a continuous drainage option and front-loading bucket. The Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 dehumidifier is energy star rated and equipped with eco-friendly R410a refrigerant for maximum dehumidification and energy cost savings. This dehumidifier is a great value, providing exceptional performance, convenience and style. The FFAD7033R1 is the newest 70-pint dehumidifier from Frigidaire and is a direct replacement for the older Frigidaire FAD704DWD model. The FFAD7033R1 70-pint dehumidifier offers significantly more durable construction and is far more quiet than the older FAD704DWD model. While the old FAD704DWD is still available through some retailers, the FFAD7033R1 is clearly the better buy of the two dehumidifiers.

The fan does not run continuously on this unit. The fan is designed to shut off 5 minutes after the compressor cycles off. When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier. The "Compressor" circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.
