“Can the dehumidifier function be used without venting to the outside? I am wondering if the unit can operate as a stand-alone dehumidifier. Typical dehumidifiers have a tray that collects water. This tray is then removed and the water emptied. It sounds as if this unit does not have a tray and can only dehumidify if the exhaust is connected to the outside.”

• Dehumidification requires use of a hose connected to the unit and run to a drain or capture container. It does not require venting to the outside to use this function.

• This unit doesn't have a tray. According to the manual, if you use it as a primary dehumidifier, you do not run the exhaust hose to the window and you let the warm air return to the room. The unit has a threaded drain connection on the back where you can hook up a hose (not included) and direct the water into a floor drain or bucket (also not included).

• yes but the tank is very small so you would have to empty a lot

• There is an interior tank that you can empty into a pan or use a hose. It also holds water when used as an AC, when the humidity builds up more water than can be exhausted. Again there is an internal tank. I have not used as de-humidifier only yet.
