Our read
Who it suits
Rated 22 pints a day, the FHDD2233Y1 is sized for a damp space under 2,000 sq ft. For a very damp or wet one, the table asks for more. Its yearly energy use sits near the median, so weigh drainage, noise, and price.
Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.
Running cost
Running cost won’t decide it
The DOE puts a portable’s average life at 11 years. Over that time, this model costs $16 less to run in the United States than the median 19–28 pint model. The thriftiest 19–28 pint model, the Knka PD30MA-20, would save $93 over those years.
No source we use gives a dB(A) figure for the FHDD2233Y1. For a bedroom or an office, ask the seller for one, and for the distance it was measured from.
At 276 kWh a year, it sits 8 kWh below the middle of its class.
Its refrigerant is R-32, flagged as lower GWP.Global warming potential 675.

Among the 155 certified 19–28 pint portables, 23 use less energy.
The federal floor for its class is 1.30 liters per kWh. It reaches 1.70, or 31% more.That floor covers portables rated 25 pints a day or less, for units made since June 13, 2019.
The smallest portable certified under the Frigidaire name. Next up is the FHDD2234W1, at 23 pints.That one uses 7 kWh a year more.
On the market since August 2025, newer than 16% of the 19–28 pint models on the list.
Not on the EPA’s Most Efficient list, which names 31 of the 19–28 pint models.
The Midea MAD22S1AWWT is the closest size from another brand, rated 22 pints and 276 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States
In 24 hours at full output, the FHDD2233Y1 pulls about 2.8 gallons of water from the air and uses about 6.2 kWh. That day costs $1.13 in the United States.
About 45 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 276 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $1.13.
Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the FHDD2233Y1 pulls out less than 22.27 pints a day.
Those 2.8 gallons need a way out: a hose to a drain, a pump, or a bucket you empty. Our sources don’t say which ones the FHDD2233Y1 has.
