Does this have to be set up to be able to drain? I would love to get one for my office and access to a drain would be a problem.

It has a drain opening, but you don't have to use it. Mine sits next to my bar sink for the convenience of having a ready source of water, not for the drain.

You will either have to use a hose extender if you can find the right connector or buy a longer hose for the drain. I had to set my sink in close proximity to where the water drain from a raised deck.

No "auto-drain". Open the drain and either put a bucket behind it (in which case unit will have to be elevated above the bucket), or run a hose from the drain out the window (in which case unit will need to be elevated above the end of the hose the goes out of the window).

Yes, you can hook up a drain hose (unit has to be placed higher than drain for water to evacuate). Don't know about power usage.

No, it does not need a drain but does require defrosting every month or so. Only had ours a mint now but have been very satisfied so far, quite running and maks ice fast .

There is no drain as it isn't required. In terms of cleaning its very easy you just have to wipe it out after using it just like you would do with a fridge. Now if you don't look after it that's another story.

I have the dehumidifier- hooked up hose to back threads and put in drain (but its above in sink) does this need to be drained in ground as it is not draining & is there something I need to turn on/ off to use continuous draining? TY in advance!

Yes. The drain is on the back bottom. When I drain it I set it on an incline and it pours out without any aid necessary.

You can pull out the storage compartment and it has a built in drain to make it .easy to clean, hop this helps

No, no drainer. But its easy enough to tip over & let the water out. There's only a spout for inflation.

Hello, no it is not you will need a drain hose if you intended to use it as a dehumidifier, it has a small tank on board for that purpose that has to be emptied frequently if you use the unit solely as a dehumidifier.

sorry it took so long to respond... I have not used a drain line! This AC unit is fantastic! It evaporates out the exhaust!

It has a place for a hose hookup. The machine shuts down when the tank is full. But just to set the unit over a drain wouldn't work. You would have to hook the hose up to it The machine works great..

I have had it for 2 months and never had to drain it. It reuses the water it collects to cool the room. Not that it NEVER needs draining. But if it did, the drain is right at the bottom. You would have to slide a tray under it and use that to drain it.

I'm sorry but it depends on the size of the room... I should tell you I have had my unit for 2 yrs and never had to drain it. With this type all the water is sent out the exhaust tube which is the second hose that goes out of your room. You will love this unit!

It isn't set up to be used that way. It could probably be adapted, but I suggest you look for something already powered for significant safety reasons. Powered units, in my experience (I used to own a rental company), won't open a drain any better, or faster, than a manual unit with a hand crank. Any binding and the powered units have a tendency to twist part of the auger off in the pipe.

unfortunately, theres no drain. if you have a lot of room, you could use a small pool. However it sure did make serving cold foods easier where you can't fit a kids pool.
