Why it matters
The Frigidaire High Humidity 60 Pint Dehumidifier (FHDP6033W1) is a portable dehumidifier with a 21.1 pints bucket, rated for 1500 sq ft and removing up to 60.0 pints/day a day.
Aim for 40 to 60 percent relative humidity indoors: drier air irritates airways and skin, wetter air feeds dust mites and mold.
At its full rating of about 60 pints a day, a 21-pint bucket would fill in roughly 8 hours, so in a damp basement plan on a hose or pump rather than emptying it by hand.
At its stated 420 watts, running non-stop uses about 10.1 kWh a day; in practice the compressor cycles off once the room reaches the set humidity.
Its rated area of 1,500 square feet is below the middle of the range we cover: 22 of the 99 dehumidifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 110 square feet to 7,500 square feet.
Price-wise it sat in the dearest third of the 52 portable models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.

Limitations to weigh
- The Frigidaire High Humidity 60 Pint Dehumidifier (FHDP6033W1) listing states every figure we compare on; they are the seller's numbers, measured on the setting it chooses.
- Pints-per-day figures depend on the test conditions; since 2019 the US test uses cooler, drier air, so newer ratings look smaller than older ones for the same machine.
