It works very well controlling my basement humidity, connected for continous drain.
Note! My first danby dehumidifier lost it's refrigerant within 3 months and was replaced under waranty--the replacement lasted for 5 years--had E3 error code, I had bought another one that is still running and this one is to replace the warranty replacement one. Before switching to Danby for the 2 year warranty I was going through one dehumidifier every year. I keep the new one in our basement and the older one is in our garage to reduce rusting of our vehicle disc brakes. I am very pleased with Danby dehumidifiers longevity.
