The Frigidaire FHDP5033Y1 50 Pint leads this guide because it combines a built-in pump, a 4500 square foot coverage listing and a compact 10 by 19 by 19 inch cabinet. That mix suits large damp spaces where a drain line must run upward or across a room. The Frigidaire FHDD5034Y1 50 Pint follows with the largest listed tank, 21.6 pints (2.7 gal), for longer unattended bucket runs.
Product data updated November 3, 2026
This guide ranks Frigidaire models using published specifications only: coverage, tank capacity, pump, Energy Star status, wattage, dimensions and listed features. Frigidaire does not state the pint rating basis for these models, so the guide does not rank by pints per day.
Specs are the figures each maker lists. "Not listed" means we have no published figure yet.

Best for large spaces with a pump
Frigidaire FHDP5033Y1 50 Pint
The Frigidaire FHDP5033Y1 50 Pint leads because it is the only pick that lists a built-in pump, and it pairs that with a 4500 square foot coverage listing, while its 10 by 19 by 19 inch cabinet stays compact. Compared with the Frigidaire FHDD5034Y1 50 Pint below, it trades a larger tank for pump-assisted drainage and a smaller footprint.

Verdict: The Frigidaire 22-Pint is a minimal Energy Star option with few published details.
We ranked these Frigidaire models using published specifications only: coverage area, tank capacity, built-in pump, Energy Star status, wattage, dimensions and listed features. No unit was handled or measured. When specs were missing, the model ranked lower because it gave buyers less to compare.
Because Frigidaire does not state the pint rating basis for these models, we did not rank by pints per day. Instead we prioritized a built-in pump, large coverage listings, larger tanks and Energy Star certification. For more on how capacity relates to room size, see how dehumidifier capacity relates to room size.
Pump or gravity drain
A built-in pump lets the unit push collected water upward or across a long hose to a sink or window. The Frigidaire FHDP5033Y1 50 Pint is the only model here that lists a pump. Without a pump, a unit relies on gravity, so the drain hose must slope downward to a floor drain. For more on choosing between these, see built-in pump or gravity drain.
Tank size and emptying frequency
A larger tank means fewer trips to empty the bucket. The Frigidaire FHDD5034Y1 50 Pint holds 21.6 pints (2.7 gal), the largest listed here. The Frigidaire FHDD2233Y1 22 Pint holds 6.8 pints (0.85 gal), so it needs more frequent emptying in a damp room. Continuous draining removes the need to empty the bucket at all.
Coverage area listings
Several models list a square footage coverage, such as 4500 square feet for the Frigidaire FHDP5033Y1 50 Pint and Frigidaire FFAD3533W1 35 Pint. These listings help match a unit to a room size, but actual performance depends on humidity and temperature. For guidance on matching capacity to room size, see dehumidifier capacity vs room size.
Energy Star and wattage
The Frigidaire FFAD3533W1 35 Pint and Frigidaire 22-Pint carry an Energy Star mark, which means they meet efficiency criteria set by the program. Wattage listings range from 250 watts on the Frigidaire FHDD2233Y1 22 Pint to 470 watts on the Frigidaire FHDD5034Y1 50 Pint. Lower wattage does not always mean lower total energy use, because runtime depends on room conditions.
Controls and features
Most models here list programmable settings and automatic moisture removal. The Frigidaire GHDD3535W1 35 Pint adds adjustable humidity control and a washable filter. The Frigidaire FFAD3533W1 35 Pint listing names manual controls and no other features.
