Yes, you need to drain the water removed by the humidification process. There is a drain plug on the back that you open to let the water out. I put my air conditioner on a small stand to make it easier to drain the water into a plastic tray. I would drain it a couple of times each day when the humidity is high. I think it has an automatic shut-off if the water level in the internal tank gets too high.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. Its a hassle. And the AC is mildly cool, and the fan is weak. Stay away.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to the manual, no. You only drain the unit when using it in Dry Mode, which is an AC mode with no moisture in the cool air--for this they say you need to hook up a hose to the unit for continual drainage--or when you unplug the unit and first put it into storage for the Winter in planned non-use--for this, you just pull out a little stop at the bottom of the unit and let the condensate drip out into a little tray until its done. Normal AC operation, which they label as "Cool" mode, will use the condensation normally generated in the process to put a little moisture in the air, which is preferable if you live in a normally dry climate.
