*The rating is expressed in pints per 24 hour period at 80� F and 60% humidity. Dehumidifiers are tested using the ANSI/AHAM DH-1 standard.
**Energy Factor: The energy efficiency of dehumidifiers is measured by its energy factor, in liters of water removed per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy consumed or L/kWh. In general, a higher energy factor
means a more efficient dehumidifier.

Friedrich D50BP 50 Pint Dehumidifier with BUILT-IN DRAIN PUMP, front bucket and continuous drain Review

I don't know what the people who design dehumidifiers are thinking. This unit is replacing a Frigidaire that stopped working properly after 5 years. The two units have had the same design issue as far as short cycling. By short cycling I mean the unit will cycle between being on for a few seconds up to a minute and off again for less than a minute without really doing much of anything. You won't notice this behavior until the unit has gotten the humidity in the room down to whatever level you have the unit set to and it is just trying to maintain equilibrium.

The problem is where they are locating the temperature and humidity sensors, which is right on the condenser in the path of the incoming air. A dehumidifier works very much like an air conditioner in that it passes air over a condenser. So in use the condenser is cold and dripping wet with the moisture that is being removed from the air, like a cold can of soda on a warm day. The humidity sensor is a quarter of an inch away from this. So when it isn't running it thinks the humidity is much higher than it actually is. When it turns off you'll see the humidity display rapidly start to go back up. Then it turns back on again and with the room air being drawn in past the sensor it rapidly goes back down again and the unit turns off. Repeat forever. It's even worse if you have the drain pump hooked up because it runs the pump after every time it shuts off. So there is just a constant assortment of noises.

The good news is there is an easy fix. The bad news is you're going to void the warranty doing it. You need to relocate the sensor outside of the unit if you want it to work better and you're going to have to put a hole in the cover to do it. The sensor is located in the upper right of the intake area as you face the unit. First remove the air filter and water bucket. You can then remove the right side panel. There are 3 screws on the back, 2 on the front, and one on the side at the bottom. You can then pop the panel off, there's a catch in the middle at the front. You'll now have access to the sensor which is held in by a plastic clip. I also cut one of the zip ties keeping the sensor cable tied to the other cables running up the side of the unit to create more slack. Then I drilled a half inch hole in the side panel in the least obtrusive spot I could find, which was inside of the handle area. Detach the cable from the sensors itself, again there is a little plastic clip holding it. Feed the cable through the hole and reattach the sensor. Now you can reattach the side panel. I just taped the cable to the outside of the unit. You don't want the sensor to be in the airflow of either the intake or the exhaust. Before I did this the readings when the unit was off were 62 degrees and 69% humidity. Once I relocated the sensor they changed to 67 degrees and 58% humidity. Compare this to the readings of a separate thermometer/hygrometer in the room that said 66 degrees and 54% humidity.

So it's difficult to give a star rating. On the one hand I should give it 1 star for requiring me to modify it out of the box just to get it to work properly. On the other hand every other unit on the market seems to be designed the same way. Once you do the modification it works well and the pump feature is great. It's 2013, they could put the sensors in a wireless remote that you could put a few feet away from the unit to get even better readings. I can't speak about the longevity of the unit yet.
