Does it need a drain hose, or is there a water collection bin? Does it shut off when the collection bin is full? Thanks.

It won't run when it is full. I have to take it to the door and let it drain. You can attach a small hose.

The condensation evaporates through the exhaust hose. It does have a water collection bin for excess water that does not evaporate, however that bin has never even been remotely wet at all on my unit. I think it will shut off should the bin get full.

It has a humidity sensor that shuts if off when it reaches a level you set. I don't think it cuts off if out of water but it has a huge capacity probably a couple gallons. That should give you time to remember to fill it. I've had it go three days. I've never run it THAT low so I don't know about the shut off part or if it would mess it up.

It is not built with a hose attachment. I empty mine every three days. It does have a auto shutoff when it is full.

The only shut off is the switch on the pump. It does not respond to whether or not the hose is off. It pumps a lot of water at a fast rate. I think it would empty a rain barrel in short order.

There is a drain stop inside of it. You just pull the stopper out and it drains.

The drain is on the back and does attach to a garden hose. I used the hose initially and now just use the built in bucket. Either way this thing works great!

I don't have my setup to empty into a drain but the unit I have does shut off completely when the desired humidity level is reached. I have been unhappy about this since the unit is not supposed to shut off completely (unless the water tank is full). I returned one unit after confirming with the manufacturer that indeed the fan should continue running even when the compressor stops (once humidity level is reached). The second unit they sent me is doing the same thing as the first - shutting off and then clicking back on....which wakes me up at night.

There aren't any drains. It just overflows or the kids spill a bunch out when they're playing. It would probably take about 3 hours to fill to the point of overflowing. When you turn it off, the water just dumps out that way. To get it dry to store is kind of a huge pain. Basically you let all of the water drain and then blow it back up for a while.

You have to leave the nozzle open to let it drain out, it will shrink back if it drains, maybe not as much as it look on the ad. I you have high water pressure it may burst the hose one of mine did in the front of my house (higher pressure there). Also keep it out of the sun when not using. I love the convenience but was disappointed when one hose popped.

It shuts off automatically, but not based on collection jug level. It has a float switch inside that turns it off when inside water level gets low. If jug is emptied before each run, it works great. If jug was partially full before a run it would overflow.

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!

You need to have both power cords plugged into each other for the automatic shut off. If you are only going to use one plug it has to be the one with the metal thing on the top. I you are referring to low water output you may need a fatter hose.

It doesn't need to drain,but its reservoir can fill up and you would have to empty it. However it does a good job evaporating the condensate so it doesn't fill up often.

It has a tank so you don't have to drain it with the hose, but when we're going to be away for several days and can't empty it, I always put it on the kitchen counter and let the hose drain into the sink. The gravity gives me some peace of mind.

It comes with hose threads to attach to whatever has the mating threads. When I purchased mine, it came without a shutoff. I prefer the Dramm shutoff, because they are plastic, but they are hard to find and will degrade in the sunlight. I still think it is worth it.

The unit has a single out hose. It's designed to pull air in from the space and dump the hot air out via the hose. It also takes moisture out of the air very well, so you need to make sure the drain is setup for the drainage of the moisture trap or it will overflow.

It does have a drain hose, but it is rather short. During the summer I ran it continually and my electric was about 15-20 dollars more a month. It really was worth it. I live in the South and its very humid. I suffer from lymphadema and this really did the job. A lot quieter than most I've heard.
