Frigidaire 50 Pint with Pump and Wi-Fi

Three numbers, and only one is for your bill

This is the useful lesson of this particular machine. A nameplate is a maximum with everything energized at once - compressor, fan and pump - and makers are neither consistent nor careful about how they print it. The certified average comes from a defined test procedure and a public record anyone can check. When the two disagree, the one with a test procedure behind it wins.

Frigidaire 50 Pint Dehumidifier with Pump and Wi-Fi

Best for: Seeing why a nameplate is not a running cost

Frigidaire's own documents give two different wattages for this machine and the certified record gives a third - which makes it the clearest case on the site for trusting the computed average over any printed figure.

Average draw

490 W

Computed from the ENERGY STAR certified entry for Frigidaire FHDP5033Y1 - the same model number as this listing: 49.95 pt/day at IEF 2.01 L/kWh. Frigidaire's own figures do not agree with each other: its US specification sheet states 115 V, 5.5 A and 620 W, while its Canadian product page states 115 V, 8.8 A and 470 W. Those are nameplate figures, not averages, and they do not reconcile - use 490 W for running cost.

What is good

• +The retail model number is exactly the certified one, so the 490 W figure is a direct match rather than a family estimate
• +Pump discharges upward into a sink or out of a window, with bucket and continuous-drain modes as well
• +Stated to keep working down to 41F, which matters in an unheated basement in shoulder season
• +Wi-Fi with the Frigidaire app, plus Alexa and Google Home

What is not

• -Frigidaire's two published wattages disagree - 620 W and 470 W - and neither is the running-cost figure
• -No pump lift or hose run is stated on the listing or on either Frigidaire page we checked
• -The Amazon listing itself is sparse; the useful detail lives on Frigidaire's own pages

Who it is for

Someone who wants a pump and Wi-Fi from a maker with a certified exact-model record, and who will size the circuit from the higher of the maker's figures.

Skip it if

Skip it if your pump route is long or tall. Frigidaire states no lift, where GE and Quilo state 15 feet in writing.

Frigidaire

Frigidaire 50 Pint Dehumidifier with Wi-Fi

Best for: A Frigidaire with a drain below it

Frigidaire's current no-pump 50-pint: certified by exact model number, Wi-Fi equipped, and a 2.7 gallon bucket that is among the largest of any 50-pint unit we track.

Average draw

488 W

Computed from the ENERGY STAR certified entry for Frigidaire FHDD5034Y1 - the same model number as this listing: 49.71 pt/day at IEF 2.01 L/kWh. Frigidaire's Canadian product page states 115 V, 8.8 A and 470 W; those figures do not reconcile with each other and are nameplate rather than average values, so 488 W is the running-cost figure.

What is good

• +Exact certified model match, so the 488 W figure describes this machine rather than a sibling
• +2.7 gallon bucket - roughly ten hours of condensate at full rated capacity if you ever run it without a hose
• +Continuous drain, three fan speeds and operation down to 41F
• +Wi-Fi and the Frigidaire app for scheduling and remote control

What is not

• -Gravity only. The drain must be below the machine
• -The Wi-Fi depends on Frigidaire's app remaining supported
• -Frigidaire's own published wattage and amperage do not agree with each other

Who it is for

Someone with a floor drain who wants a certified, well-documented 50-pint unit and has a use for scheduling.

Skip it if

Skip it if the only drain is above the machine. That is the one job a gravity unit cannot do, whatever else it has.

The model number, which now matches exactly

This page used to carry a caveat: the retail listing was the W1 suffix and the certified list carried Y1, so the wattage mapping was by revision family rather than exact. The live listing is now the FHDP5033Y1 itself, so that caveat no longer applies - the 490 W figure describes the machine the buy button points at.

The rest of it

• Down to 41F. Frigidaire states low-temperature operation to 41F, which matters in an unheated basement in spring and autumn.
• Three drainage modes. Bucket, continuous drain, or the pump discharging upward into a sink or out of a window.
• 1.9 gallon bucket. On a pump model that is the fallback if the pump ever stops - about seven hours of condensate at full rated capacity.
• No published pump reach. Neither the Amazon listing nor either Frigidaire page we checked states a lift or a hose run. GE and Quilo both state 15 feet on their pump models. Pump lift and distance.
• Wi-Fi, the Frigidaire app, Alexa and Google Home. Useful for scheduling and alerts, and dependent on the app remaining supported.

Who should buy something else

Anyone whose pump route is long or tall, because Frigidaire commits to no figure for it - GE's pump model states 15 vertical feet and a 16 foot hose. And anyone who does not need the pump at all: Frigidaire's no-pump 50-pint is certified at 488 W and carries a larger 2.7 gallon bucket. The Frigidaire without a pump.
