The dehumidifier is working fine, but I was somewhat mislead by the information on the product box.  The information indicated the dehumidifier would pull 30 pints of water out of the air in a 24 hour period, so I expected the water bucket to be capable of holding 30 pints or some amount near the level.  The water bucket is really quite small and will require frequent attention.  I am not able to attach a drain hose in my situation.
