How much moisture does it remove?

It is rated at 50 pints per day under standard test conditions, which suits a wet basement. Real-world output drops in cooler air.

Can it drain continuously?

Yes. A hose connection lets it drain to a floor drain or sump, so you don't empty the tank. The drain hose is usually not included.

The rated maximum is 55 dB, roughly the level of a normal conversation. Expect to hear it from an adjacent room.

Not well. Like most compressor dehumidifiers, it loses efficiency below about 41°F and can frost up. A desiccant unit is better for cold spaces.

It is rated for up to about 4,500 square feet, though a damp, closed basement is the realistic use case rather than an open floor plan.

Yes, it resumes on its previous settings once power returns, which matters for unattended basement use.
