an issue not related to the product: we had a very long hose connected to it to drain it out and it worked great.
i've only just installed this dehumidifier but wanted to correct a previous review in one small way: once you punch out the plastic disk to insert a hose for external drainage, you needn't drain it
the only hassle is that it does not come with a hose for continuous drainage and the size needed seems a bit difficult - 15 mm inside diameter.
i may set it up so it drains automatically, but emptying once a day isn't much of a problem.
i haven't hooked it up to drain directly so i manually empty it twice per day.
weaknesses: will have small amount of water in bucket even when connected to a drain hose
we are using the drain hose and after looking at the directions and looking at the materials we figured out how to connect it.
hose drain connect has a cap that can be replaced.
3) the drip bucket is very easy to remove and drain.
pros: good looking and easily portable; continuous drain hole can be recapped; high moisture removal capacity for the price.
this product drains water like you would not believe.
i have a damp basement, and before i attached the drain hose, i had to empty the tank 3-4 times a day.
took only 2 minutes to set up drain hose out of the box and works quietly and efficiently.
product took 2 minutes to set up drain hose and works quietly and efficiently.
i have hooked the hose up to a floor drain so it continuously drains without having to empty the bucket.
like the hose put right into drain.
using in the basement with continuous drain.
getting the included drain hose through the bottom of the unit takes some doing but otherwise no complaints there either.
the item appeared to be previously used and the drainage hose wasn't included in the box.
the one thing i did not like was that the setup for continuous draining is at the top of the water container.
i have mine gravity drained to a basement sump pump.
i am assuming that the humidistat sensor is too close to the water container and i cannot use a drain option in my home which would keep the water always running away.
the outlet to a drain is about a foot off the floor, unlike other units that drain from the bottom of the bucket, very close to the floor.
the catch basin has a drainage hose in the event your basement/cellar has a central drain, or a swivel handle on the inside for easy removal and dumping.
box says 3' water hose, but hose length less than 2' out of back of unit - too short to reach my drain.
