Is 80 pints enough for a full basement?

For a typical basement up to about 4,500 square feet, yes. Damp or very wet spaces may need the unit to run continuously, and below 60°F a compressor model like this loses efficiency.

Does it run continuously with the drain hose?

Yes. Connect the included hose and route it to a floor drain or sump, and the unit drains by gravity without you emptying the bucket. The outlet must sit lower than the drain port.

Compressor dehumidifiers of this capacity are generally louder than small peltier units, so expect noticeable fan and compressor noise. It is usually fine in a basement but not ideal in a bedroom.

The unit and a drain hose. Check the listing for any additional accessories before ordering.

Dehumidifier prices tend to dip in late summer and during holiday sales, and rise in spring and early summer when demand peaks. Watch the price history before buying.
