I don't see a drain showing in the pic. Is there one and is it low enough so that one does not have to tip the cooler for it to drain?

There is a drain. It's in the back between the wheels. It is a push pull plug. I prefer a threaded plug.

I would recommend you get a filter cooler, and stay away from the RO models. it will be much easier with no ned for a drain line ect...

From the reviews it sounds like the 40 qt version does not have a drain, but that the 50 qt version does. (Go to 'see all reviews' and search for the word "drain" within the reviews)

I'm not a technical person for Frigidaire or experienced in air conditioning, but I installed the unit myself and it appears to be designed to have a slight tilt to allow water to drain away from the window. I judged that from the angle of the side expander tracks welded on each side of the unit. The tilt is about 5 degrees down, so water will drain away from the window and not in toward the window.

you would need a bucket or something underneath as it has to have a place to drain. or you would just need to keep your stopper in place and scoop out the water/ice when needed

Yes there is a bottom drain plug, in one of the sides. Low enough. I bought this coolers for marine application and they did not hold well. The hinges got rusted immediately and broke too soon. Maybe good for some dryer place.

I own two of the coolers. They work well. The hot knobs on mine need to be pushed in before being pulled down to dispense water.

Mine doesn't have a drain hole. Yes you could drill one easy. The lid seals pretty good, I've never gotten any water in it. WAIT! I can't believe I never thought of this, you want to use it as a cooler? Nice. Won't stay cold very long without any insulation and in the beating sun. But I like the way you think!

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

I have never had this problem with this Drain. I would suggest making sure it is tightened down enough so that it is flush with the bottom of the bowl

The tray is shallow and flat with grooves to drain. The problem is that the end farthest from the sink is not raised so, being flat, it does not drain well. I would think a raised sink would make it drain away from the sink and would accumulate the water in the tray until it overflows ... but which way?!?!?

From what I have seen with previous reviews, you sometimes have to place something under the front wheels to till the unit back toward the drain. This is a minor inconvenience but seemed to work for others in the past.

I agree this is an issue. Sorry, I don't have the answer. Mine does drain but is much slower than when the disposer is running. It hasn't been enough to be an problem for me.

there is a drain plug on the bottom that works well. you may have to help by propping up the opposite corners when the water level gets low

No drain plug but it is small enough to just pick up and drain. Great little cooler.

No drain problem at all! We own two of them! One for each of my boy's rooms and because of the dual air flow there is no need for the drain! (We use it exclusively for an air conditioner only, but it has other features)

There is a grommet (ruber cap with slit) on the drain line that is designed to let water flow out but seal when not in defrost mode. Original design was sized incorrectly and it will clog and freeze cold not allowing water to drain in defrost and run onto bottom of freezer. Cheap part but big headache.
