ONE, I placed an order @11AM on 9/19/11. I received my Friedrich dehumidifier on 9/20/11 @3PM. TWO, The instructions are very clear. THREE, the installation was very simple,and I had it running in a few minutes FOUR,the fan and the compressor are very quiet, along with the unit being very compact and easy to move around. FIVE, I have been using many Makes of Dehumidifiers for more than 40 years. I cannot recall any one of them giving me all of the above, and at a great price. Needless to say I AM HAPPY!! REN SR.

We live in South Texas on the Gulf coast where the outside humidity runs 70% or higher. So, we use dehumidifiers year round. This dehumidifier is quiet when used on low fan setting. It can be used in living areas and really not disturb people. It is much quiter than other brands we have used over the years. On high setting, it is pretty noisy, but it does move a lot of air.
This unit also seem to work faster than similiar
rated brands. It is efficient enough to keep our entire condo dehumidified.
The pump works well when connected. It can drain outside or into a sink. It is simple to set up and connect and disconnect. It automatically drains and requires no button to push. It does not leak. This is the main reason I chose to purchase this particular unit. I love not having to constantly empty a bucket. If you do choose to use the bucket, is it well sized and easy to empty.
There is a problem with this unit's humidity control. Once it gets the area to the proper humidity, it constantly cycles the compressor every 2-3 minutes. After the compressor shuts off, the humidity control rapidly creeps up causing the unit to turn on. Once room air circulates through the machine it again registers the correct humidity and turns itself off again. It is very annoying. I had to buy a timer and regulate the on/off with a timer rather than rely on the unit's humidity control. For this reason, I would probably not recommend this to a friend or buy another unit of this brand.

Comments about Friedrich D50BP Dehumidifier:
I just received my Friedrich dehumidifier model D50AP. No time at all to set up and have it running.What I liked most was the convience of having three options of removing water. Aside for the obvious two of water bucket or drain hose, this model also comes equipped with a Pump and included hose. This unit is running as I'm typing this review and I honestly can't hear it. The Friedrich is replacing a Kennmore dehumidifer, of the same 50 pint capicity, and the Kennmore only lasted less than a year. It was noisy when purchased and got progressivly louder while on it's last hurrah. All told that unit lasted only l0 months. The only contact I had with that unit was plugging it in, and emptying the water bucket. I do take maintenance schedules to heart, and always maintained any piece of equipment in my home. My best guess estimate of the Kennmore was the compressor was faulty. Which leads me to my decison of buying the Friedrich, as I was searching for a unit that was made in [*]. The quality of products manufactured in [*] leave a lot to be desired, in my opinion of course. I'm confiedent that the Friedrich will live up to my expections, and perform well for years to come. If not I will resubmit another review, and make note of any problems I may have had. In closing, I can honestly say with the unit running for an slightly more than an hour, I can feel the coolness gaining a foothold in my home.

Comments about Friedrich D50BP Dehumidifier:
We had a very wet and musty finished basement of roughly 1000 SF. The Friedrich 50AP Dehumidifier is working great. Noticed a big difference in the comfort the very first day. Digital controls are easy to read and monitor. During this hot and humid summer it has made our entire lower level very comfortable and enjoyable. It is quiet and efficient. Very good value for the results.

Comments about Friedrich D50BP Dehumidifier:
The product works very well. Only problem is I would like the machine to turn off once the desired humidity level is achieved. Fan runs continuously no matter what the humidity level is.
