Honeywell vs Frigidaire: portable dehumidifiers compared

By Julien Fourel · How we compare

Updated Oct 16, 2026EPAEIA

The short answer

FRChoose Frigidaire if

  • you want the lowest running cost at 19–28 pints: the FHDD2233Y1 uses 276 kWh a year, against 291 for the thriftiest Honeywell.
  • you prefer a model with a few years behind it: the FHDD2234W1 since 2024, the FHDD3534Y1 since 2025, and the FHDD5034Y1 since 2025.

HOChoose Honeywell if

  • you need a 32-pint unit: the TPFIT32AWK has no certified Frigidaire match and uses 343 kWh a year.
  • you’d like a Wi-Fi app: 8 Honeywell models connect, no Frigidaire model does.

Questions

What people ask about these two brands

Each answer comes from the EPA list, with its date.

Ask us a question
Are Honeywell and Frigidaire the same company?

No. On the EPA list, Honeywell models are filed by JMA North America and Frigidaire models by Electrolux Consumer Products.

EPA list, Oct 15, 2026
Which one is more efficient?

Honeywell, by the highest rating: IEF 2.01 liters per kWh (TPFIT32AWK). Honeywell ranges 1.75 to 2.01, Frigidaire ranges 1.70 to 2.01. At the same size, a higher IEF means less power for the same water removed.

EPA list, Oct 15, 2026
Which one costs less to run?

Frigidaire, where the two differ by more than 2%. In the pairs above, at about 24 pints, the Frigidaire FHDD2234W1 uses 283 kWh a year, against 291. At 50 pints, it’s close, 516 kWh against 521. The reasons at the top compare each brand’s thriftiest model.
