Our Verdict
Frigidaire FFAP5034W1
LG PuriCare Sonoran
The Frigidaire FFAP5034W1 and LG PuriCare Sonoran suit slightly different uses. The Frigidaire has a larger internal water tank that won't need to be emptied as often, and features an integrated pump for continuous drainage over the walls of a tub or a sink, making it a better option for use in basements or bathrooms. That said, the LG holds a slight advantage in dehumidification capacity and runs significantly quieter, making it the more suitable option for spaces like TV rooms or bedrooms.
