Any dehumidifier that can perform its task at low and ambient temperatures is referred to as a quiet temperature dehumidifier. Our Frigidaire 50 pint dehumidifier is one of the best low-temperature units. It can impressively function at temperatures below 41-degree Fahrenheit, which gives it longevity in terms of working and helps decrease mold formation on garments and other furnishings.

Thus less moisture is efficiently removed from the air at low temperatures. It helps eliminate any obnoxious odors from our room, thus making our house ambient lively while maintaining energy-efficiency.

At low fan speed, the noise level is 47dB. At high and medium fan speed, noise levels are 51dB and 49dB.
