Does this unit drain?

No it doesn't - you'll have to wipe dry any utensils you wash and want to put back in it. I didn't think I'd use the spoon rest, but have ended up using it a lot because it is so easy to pull it off this utensil holder (i.e. i don't have to open a drawer and dig through stuff to get a spoon rest).

No, it does not. There are tiny open slats along the sides, at the base where the house lies on. I suppose you could use a power setting on your hose, direct it through the circular opening in the front, add some soap or bleach or whatever you use, cover the hole and shake furiously around for awhile and then rinse thouroughly. It would then drain through the bottom slats.

No. Upper drain is for De-humidifier mode. Lower drain is for Air Conditioning mode.

Yes, it shuts off when the "hopper" is full. I haven't bothered to install the drain hose, so I find I need to empty the unit about once a day for a basement under a modest-sized house in the humid mid-South. So far, I'm very pleased with the unit.

No It should drain automatically. I have 2. One drains fine and the other has a mind of its own. Last year Haier suggested elevating the front by maybe a quarter inch . I have both set that way. One works and the other doesn't.

Hi Lakiesha, It drains because there is a drain slot on the side. That hole needs to stay over the edge of the sink otherwise the water runs out on the counter. The inside needs to be cleaned out occasionally but that's easy. Of many, many drainers I've tried this is the best!

What do you mean? I dump mine into a nearby sink. If you mean continuous drain, you'd attach a hose to the back of the unit, and that could go into a drain.

Yes, it drains all of the water, we have never had an issue with this. It was installed a year ago and I am as pleased today as I was last year.

Hi Marla, No, unfortunately this unit consumes the space of the whole outlet if plugged in to the bottom pluglet...however...this was a great buy for me as it detected a very small gas leak already. I strongly recommend this product.

It mostly drains by itself. The base is tilted so that the water drains away from the highest point (silverware tray). However, at the base the opening is only in the middle and so a tiny bit of water can accumulate on either side of the drainage opening. I tip it a bit from left to right if I see water sitting there. To me it's not a big deal.

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.

Yes, though it is a little short. We ended up attaching the hose they provided and then inserting the end of it in to a length of garden hose to create a longer drain line. I have to say, I love this unit. Does much better at keeping the humidity low compared to other units of various brands I have bought in the same size range. Also, quiet, less heat than many, and exhausts straight up so I don't have to worry about pointing it away from things and having adequate clearance.

No it does not, I just use very hot water to rinse and put on a towel to drain. Hope this helps.

Yes, kicks on once you drain a bit but refills quickly. Very happy with this unit.

This is a self evaporative unit. Water is expelled through the exhaust hose. You will only need to drain the unit if you live in a very humid climate. I'm in California, and I haven't needed to ever drain mine (used since 2010).

No it does not have a drain. Sorry we bought it. Our old one had one and assumed this one did.

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.
