Not sure about this item it was really good price, but it’s supposed to run continuously and the hose that came with. It was a really narrow one and I have to go downstairs and empty it which makes it very inconvenient being as I’m disabled so I’m not sure if it is working properly it isdehumidifying the basement but it’s supposed to run continuous so you don’t have to go up and down the stairs to empty it so I’m sort on the fence. I’ve had two different men look at it and I’ve read the manual front to back so kind of iffy.
