Good day, Mary! The Frigidaire FHPW122AC1 Portable Air Conditioner does not have a built-in condensation reservoir that requires daily emptying. Instead, it utilizes a continuous drainage system to manage the condensate. When operating in Dry mode, the unit collects moisture from the air, which must be drained to prevent overflow. To facilitate this, the air conditioner is equipped with a continuous drain outlet. Users can connect a garden hose (sold separately) to this outlet, directing the condensate to a suitable drain located lower than the unit to ensure proper drainage. In Cool or Auto mode, the unit is designed to evaporate the condensate internally. This process utilizes the heat extracted from the room to evaporate the moisture, which is then expelled through the exhaust hose along with the hot air. This design eliminates the need for manual drainage during these modes. During winter storage or when the unit is not in use for extended periods, it's advisable to remove any residual condensate. This can be done by placing a drip tray under the continuous drain outlet, unscrewing the drain cap, and allowing any remaining moisture to flow out. To ensure all condensate is removed, gently tilt the unit forward until no more water exits. In summary, the Frigidaire FHPW122AC1 Portable Air Conditioner efficiently manages condensate through evaporation in cooling modes and provides a continuous drainage option in dry mode, minimizing the need for daily maintenance. - Maico
