Frigidaire FGAC5044W1 Dehumidifier vs Frigidaire 35 Pint Dehumidifier

Both are Frigidaire dehumidifiers with Wi-Fi, a humidistat and low-temperature operation, so the choice comes down to room size. The 50-pint FGAC5044W1 pulls more moisture per day and covers roughly 1,200 sq ft, which suits damp basements and open living areas. The 35-pint model covers about 800 sq ft and is easier to move on its wheels. Owners of the larger unit rate it well for quiet, efficient running but complain that the water tank drawer is stiff and spills when emptied. The 35-pint model scores slightly higher with owners, though it fills its bucket faster in very wet rooms.

• Choose the Frigidaire FGAC5044W1 if you are drying a large basement or a whole floor and want the most moisture removal per day with a washable filter and custom humidity control.
• Choose the Frigidaire 35 Pint Dehumidifier if you need to dry a smaller room or move the unit between rooms and want built-in wheels and a handle.
