Is this self evaporating? Is the collected water recycled into the air? Or do u have to empty a bucket?

You need to empty a bucket or run a small hose through the floor or out of the wall. I'm not sure you would want to recycle the water in the air again because part of the cooling process is reducing the relative humidity. I think all air conditioners do this---even central air.

There is a small pan at the bottom of the unit that catches the water and then the heat from the air coming off the unit, through the hoses, evaporates the water to the outside world. There is also a small drain that can be emptied to a floor drain or into a small flat pan and disposed of. I've only had it for one season and I had to drain it twice. The drain is low to the floor so a jelly roll pan of something like that works best. I use mine in a shop so it is intermittant use. For constant use the evaporation might work better??

No, there is no water produced. I still have no problems at all with this unit. (UPDATE: SorryI have used it only as an air conditioner to cool, and wasn't aware it had a drip tray. Our humidity is very low, seldom above 20% so I suppose not much or any water is produced.)

The shut off is supposed to be automatic. We see some evaporation but not a lot. I tested our water and it was 40 degrees. We also add clean water each day.

We've had our Koldfront for a few months now, there isn't any water. As the description states: The unit features an internal condensate removal system that will handle all but the most humid environments saving you the trouble of manually emptying a water bucket. This is very true, we've had no water issues. We didn't run our system 24/7, only as needed. I suppose it you use it 24/7 you might have water. What I'd also like to mention is this unit is GREAT! We have a 3 bedroom rambler and it cools the house very well.

Absolutely you don't want to empty this amount of water so frequently. I left mine full over the winter and took me 2 days to get it clean and ready for the season

It has an internal bucket that you empty via a drain tub on the bottom of the unit.

We hooked up a clear plastic hose (from Home Depot) to a bucket on the floor. We empty it about every 8 hours or so. That way you never have to drain it, until you store it for the winter.

I have no clue how someone could not figure out how to empty this. It's incredibly simple and described in the instruction booklet. You pull out the bottom tray. There is a black rubber stopper on the bottom part. You pull that out and dump water and insert black stopper back in and put tray back in. Not rocket science. I have mine in the sun room of my home. It removes about 8 oz of water per day during humid summer months. It's very quiet. I run it continuously. I would not use it in a room larger than about 10x10.

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, but it produces water like a window unit does, so be prepared to catch it with a bucket to remove it.

It is very easy to empty the water and it also comes with a hose to self drain. You do not need to add anything. Just empty, and one every couple of week, depending on how many times you used it, you need to vacuum the air filter which is also VERY easy. I would give this a very high rating. Hope that helps...I am not sure of the size...I think that looks correct. It is on wheels and has ample cord so it can be moved around and put away when not in use.

The unit has its own bucket to empty when full. The unit stops when the bucket is full and a red light illuminates to indicate it is time to empty.

I took it to the sink and filled it under the tap until you see the water at the top of the bucket at the fill line. After the water goes down a bit you can't see the water level anymore even though there is lots of water. The bucket is pretty big. Therefore I don't use it anymore.

Frank - the Dehumidification takes care of it. No excess water to dispose off. Loved it

I'm pretty sure the no bucket is supposed to mean there is no need to empty a bucket as where some portable air conditioners it is mandatory. I am very happy with our new air portable, it's a little loud but works well. I live in California and have never had to empty the condensation tray/bucket but if conditions are very humid it may be nessary to empty the tray.

Condensation goes out the hose. No need to empty a bucket with the condensation in it.
