Will not be able to use the hose so must understand how easy [or not] it is to empty the bucket by hand. Thanks!

Before I got the hose hooked up, I used the bucket for a couple of months. I found it necessary to empty often (not as easy as the last one I had, but not terrible) since it doesn't hold much. The machine seems to work well. The hose now is connected to a basement toilet and never needs to be emptied!

Hello, The "bucket" is very easy to remove. The unit does a really good job...the capacity of the container is smaller than I would like it to be and you will have to empty daily...but it is a mioni-workhorse and has been totally reliable. I would buy again. Hope this helps

very easy to slide the "bucket" out the front, like taking out a drawer. The unit will also shut down when it is full. First week you use it check it every day. Then you can gage how many times a week you need to indpect/empty it.

Super easy! I am 63 years old and have arthritis in my hands and I am able to empty it with ease. We really love our dehumidifier. It keeps the house at the perfect level of humidity. We leave ours set at 60 which I believe is the default. Enjoy the comfort. :-)

No, not that I can figure out. There is no place to plug in the hose. As far as I can tell, this works only with the special bags.

I do not know the answer to that question as I have never used it without the hose. After looking at the gauge closely I still cannot make a determination as to the feasibility of removing the hose. You can purchase a tire pressure gauge without a hose on line...Sorry I couldn't be more help

I haven't actually done it, but I'm sure it would be a simple matter to remove the reel. But in doing so, you would probably be removing the hose connector as well. Also, the bottom is basically open with a molded-in bracket for the reel. Personally, if I didn't need a reel I would just look for a nice hose pot.

You can unsnap the top, but it's really also easy to hose it down without removing the top. It's very relatively lightweight so its easy move around.

I get a bucket and pour it in the bucket, then take it out way in the back yard, where no one goes (worried about dog) and dump it. I guess that you can throw it down the drain but we are on a septic tank, so I don't put strange stuff down it.

It not that's it's heavy but more flimsy so you couldn't just pick the entire thing up. What I do is use a shop vac and suck the water off it and then drain the shop vac. Much easier this way

You can use either. I started using the bucket only on mine, but it filled very quickly. It took &lt; 24 hrs to fill the bucket then it goes into kind of a standby mode waiting for the bucket to be emptied. I had to switch the the hose (by default it works with just the bucket, but you can attach the drain hose and water goes there instead).

i use a hose to spray it off. no way to attach a bag but it is easy to empty

its an odd size, not a garden hose. I found hose close enough and put a clamp on it to hold it in place. works fine, better than trying to empty the bucket.

You don't need a hose for this model. It drains into a container in the bottom of the unit which you pull out and empty. There is an indicator light which goes on to tell you the container is full.

It seems to be easy enough. I primarily use my pump and drain feature so I only used the bucket initially. It is not very big so you would have to empty it often if you don't drain or use the pump.

I don't do that, but you can unhook it if like while they are sitting there. It is difficult though. It is much easier to get to the bucket when the person is not on the chair.

Hi, In order to remove the bucket all you have to do is the lift the seat up and take the bucket out. Below is a link to the Product Manual that might be able to help. Link to Commode Manual: http://www.drivemedical.com/media/files/8/11125PSKD-1_hangtag.pdf

Yes, The hose pulls up out of the handle . There are other attachments you can purchase.

The instructions say to drain the hose and store it away from sunlight. It is very easy to do, only takes a minute or so and will increase the life of the product. I needed 100 ft. so bought two 50-ft hoses and joined them together. This is my second season using them, and I love that they are so much lighter and easier to handle than rubber hoses.

No, but you can hook a hose up to it for continuous drain and feed the hose into the drain and this will eliminate the emptying bucket.
