Question: How long are the hoses and what type?
Document: The ones I've had previously just had a standard hose bib style plug on them, so I just used a standard cut off end of a hose for it. And those kind of hoses aren't very flexible, so I always had to position the unit near the drain in the basement, and angled so the stiff hose would be right by the drain. This drain hose for gravity draining is smaller than a garden hose, and is a flexible type of plastic, like the corrugated ridges on a bendable drinking straw. But unlike a straw, it doesn't &#34;ratchet&#34; to the shape you bend it an hold that position, so it's not perfect, but it IS much better than the garden hose ends I've become accustomed to.The pump option actually fires off another motor, so that would use a little more electricity.
It seems to have strong legs if you want to take the wheels of for this type of installation. Nothing specifically says you can do this without damaging the unit, but it does mention height without wheels. And my guess is that the legs distribute the weight safely.I would have thought you could put this beside the furnace/AC in the basement and use this pump for both, but you can't, because the reservoir for the pump is actually enclosed and the pump does not work out of the bucket. That's okay.
I also have a humidistat in the basement that I use to monitor the basement, and the reading down there is within one to two points of that device as well.It comes with two hoses, a longer 16.5 foot small diameter hose for the water pump outlet (think of the small, clear drain hose on your furnace if you have central air), and the larger diameter 3 foot hose for the standard gravity drain. The last two dehumidifiers I've used had a gravity drain option, which is a requirement for me for my basement use, since I don't want to have to run down there randomly to empty a bucket.
For people who want to run a long distance to a drain though, or even run it up and out of the house somehow, this is an option. Plugging in the hose bypasses the continuous drain outlet and activates the pump's motor. Using this would also allow you to position the dehumidifier near a stationary tub in the basement and let the hose pump the water UP into that. Definitely an option no other dehumidifier I've ever used had.The control panel is as simple as they all are. There are six buttons, all labeled.
This unit actually comes with tubing and connections for both, which is very welcome. The Frigidaires both need a hose or a hose-to-barb connector plus tubing to drain continuously. This can take a hose, but comes with a nice adapter and tubing (note that the tubing that comes with the unit for continuous drain is only three feet long; the pump tubing is much longer).If you want to use this method, I like placing it on a shelf beside the washer, and let it drain into the washer's open drain (most have an open drain).
There is no internal clock. If you use this feature, once the unit turns off, it will not turn on automatically)--Auto-restartEven though the RDP-702WP has several features,  I wish it had a cycle feature/timer so we could choose how long it would run at a time...yet it would come back on. For example: if we set the unit to run 4 hours a day, we would like to be able to set it for 4 hours & forget it rather than manually turning it back on every day.We haven't had any problems with this dehumidifier.
The fan is designed to run 100% of the time to, as stated in the manual, to make it more energy efficient. How a constant fan running is more efficient than one that runs only when needed doesn&#8217;t make sense to me. But regardless, the sound of the fan running is there 100% of the time.I could live with a little bit of extra noise if it was intermittent. The constant noise of a fan &#8211; and a loud fan at that &#8211; is a deal killer for me.Still, this does have some features the Frigidaire does not, such as a built-in pump so you can have the water go into a sink or drain that&#8217;s at a distance (the included hose line is about 16 feet long).
I ordered this with one day shipping after my unfinished  basement flooded with a few inches of water. Even with expedited shipping it cost the same as lower rated and lower capacity dehumidifiers available immediately at Home Depot or Lowe's. As others have stated it runs constantly which is why I gave 4 and not 5 stars. I cannot speak yet to how long it lasts since I have had it less than a week. However, I am impressed with the job it does. It was easy to set up which I appreciate being a non-mechanical single baby boomer female who was exhausted from cleaning out a wet basement.
The pump being included is incredibly useful for those poor souls who can't find a method for continuous drain; emptying a bucket is totally annoying.That all said, I would NOT recommend this model IF you do not plan to use the continuous drain or the pump because the bucket is smaller (to make room for the pump), which will have you emptying it more often and/or it won't work as well because it'll be paused due to being full. Also, just like the Frigidaires, it's not easy to pour - I don't know why these companies can't incorporate an easy-to-pour spout into these things.A note on energy:  The real specification you want to look at is liters/kw-h.  Who cares how long it runs or how much energy it takes while it's running as long as both figures are not high?
I guess that would depend on how often in the environment it would cycle on/off once it reaches the target RH setting. If it's so sensitive that just a 1% difference would fire it up again, then this may be a sensible choice for them to have made. But I would have preferred it as an OPTION, not a default, non changeable setting.The bucket is easy to slide in and out, and there's a folding handle inside to make it easy to carry when it's full. It uses a standard floating stop to turn the unit off when the water level gets too high if you're using the bucket rather than one of the hoses for discharge.The air filter is easy to pull out as well, you just pull it straight down when the bucket is not in place.It's done a great job of holding my basement at about 40% RH for the last few weeks though, and while the fan is barely noticeable upstairs, the compressor has never been heard, so it's a much better unit than the others I've used previously.
