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 an internal condensate pump, full bucket indicator/Auto shut off, humidistat, electronic controls, and more. This dehumidifier has three ways of draining accumulated moisture, and it costs around $250-280. Fabulous value!
Pros
Cons
Friedrich D50BPA Design and Size
Friedrich D50BPA has a simple but elegant design. The moist air intake comes from the front, but dry air is venting out through the dehumidifier’s top. 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 a 50-pint Dehumidifier, so you have an option to use continuous drainage. At the back of the unit is a 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
Friedrich D50BPA 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 a 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; the 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 a time when you want the dehumidifier to turn on or off.
Friedrich D50BPA Noise level
Many customers have said that the unit is a bit loud at high speed, as I have read. You may desire to reconsider running it on low when you’re home and shifting it to a higher speed (if required) when you are going.
Friedrich D50BPA Maintenance 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 dehumidifiers and check if there are no leaks, and clean water reservoirs.
Summary
Friedrich D50BPA is an excellent dehumidifier for mid-range spaces. It has all you need – a lot of features, a couple of drainage options, easy transfer, and a reasonable price.
