Comparing Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 versus FFAD5033R1 Dehumidifier, What's the Difference?

The Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 and Frigidaire FFAD5033R1 are Energy Star Dehumidifiers with Effortless Humidity Control that remove excess moisture from your home to help protect it from mold and mildew.

Additionally, both the Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 and FFAD5033R1 dehumidifiers incorporate an Effortless Clean Filter (removable and washable) to help reduce airborne bacteria/allergens and odors to give you fresher more breathable indoor air for a healthier environment, making these units ideal for allergy sufferers.


The main difference between the Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 and Frigidaire FFAD5033R1 comes down to the dehumidification capacity of each dehumidifier, with the FFAD7033R1 allowing for up to 70 pints per day (40 liters per 24 hours) while the FFAD5033R1 allows for up to 50 pints per day (28 liters per 24 hours).

As you would expect, because of the difference in dehumidification capacity between these 2 dehumidifiers, the horsepower, wattage and amps also differ, with the Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 being the more powerful of the two.  Operating on cool, the Frigidaire FFAD7033R1 operates at 1.00 hp, 745 watts and 6.7 amps, while the Frigidaire FFAD5033R1 operates at 0.71 hp, 530 watts and 4.8 amps.
