Friedrich D50BPA 50-Pint Dehumidifier Review
Friedrich D50BPA 50-Pint Dehumidifier will work easily in spaces up to 1000 square feet large. Friedrich D50BPA has many features such as internal condensate pump, full bucket indicator/Auto shut off, humidistat, electronic controls and more. This dehumidifier has three ways for draining accumulated moisture and it costs around $250-280. Fabulous value!
Design and Size
Friedrich D50BPA has a simple but elegant design. Moist air intake comes from the front but dry air is venting out through the top of the dehumidifier. D50BPA model has a cleanable air filter in front of it and 16.2 pints (7.6 liters) large water container below the filter. As you may already notice that’s way too small for 50-pint Dehumidifier so you have an option to use continuous drainage. At the back of the unit is continuous drainage outlet and drain pump outlet.
Friedrich D50BPA weight is 44 pounds 20 (kg) and you can move it with built-in handles or casters.
Dehumidifier Size:
Height: 23 inches / 58 cm
Width: 15 inches / 38 cm
Depth: 11 inches / 28 cm
Features
- Friedrich D50BPA 50-Pint Dehumidifier has really many features.
- Three ways for draining assembled moisture. With a bucket, constant drain way or with the built-in condensate pump.
- Electronic display. It has power on/off button, fan speed (low and high) button, timer button, humidity adjust buttons and temperature selector between Celsius and Fahrenheit. The display shows when the bucket is full, defrost lamp turns on when the unit is defrosting, current temperature and timer set information.
- Adjustable humidity between 30% – 90%. Relative humidity in increases of 5%
- 24-hour timer. Set time when you want dehumidifier to turn on or off.
Noise level
As I have read many customers have said that the unit is a bit loud at high speed. You may desire to reconsider running it on low when you’re home and shifting it to a higher speed (if required) when you going.
M aintenance and upkeep
Friedrich D50BPA doesn’t require much maintenance. Clean filter when needed, empty water bucket (if use this draining method) when full and that’s it.
From time to time clean all dehumidifier, check if there are no leaks, clean water reservoir.
Summary
Friedrich D50BPA is excellent dehumidifier for mid-range spaces. It has all you need – a lot of features, a couple of drainage options, easy transfer and reasonable price.
