How much water does it remove per day?

Argendon rates it at 80 pints per day at AHAM conditions and up to 170 pints at saturation. Real output depends on room temperature and humidity, and it drops in cool spaces like any refrigerant unit.

Do I need a floor drain?

No. The built-in condensate pump moves water up to 19.6 feet vertically or horizontally, so it can drain to a sink, window or utility tub. A 6.5 ft. gravity hose is also included.

What size space can it handle?

Argendon rates it for spaces up to 2,100 sq. ft. That fits large basements, crawlspaces and restoration jobs. In very damp or open spaces, expect it to run continuously.

How is it different from a standard home dehumidifier?

It uses SLGR refrigerant and a microchannel condenser for higher moisture capture, and it has a pump, sheet-metal housing and larger wheels. Home units are lighter and quieter but drain less flexibly.

Does it work in cold basements?

It has auto-defrost, which helps in cool spaces, but refrigerant dehumidifiers lose capacity as temperatures fall. For unheated areas near freezing, a desiccant unit performs better.

The unit, a 6.5 ft. gravity drain hose and the built-in pump setup. Check the listing for the exact accessory list, since hose and cord storage are integrated into the body.
