Does it need a drain hose?

No. It collects water in its own tank, and you can attach a hose for continuous drainage if you have a floor drain.

Will it work in a cold basement?

It uses a compressor, so it works best in warm rooms. Below roughly 60°F it removes much less moisture.

Yes. It stops automatically when the tank fills, so it won't overflow.

Some versions have a humidistat and some only a timer. Check the controls on the version you pick.

No. It suits small rooms, closets and crawl spaces. For a large, damp basement, a higher-capacity unit is a better fit.
