A: Hi there, thanks for reaching out. When using a dehumidifier, if not set in the Continuous Mode or Non-stop Mode, the compressor will turn off when it reaches the set relative humidity level. The fan should turn off about 3 minutes after the compressor cycles off. Hope this is helpful! If you have other questions or concerns, know that you're always free to reach out. Best wishes. -Michael@Haier

A: Hi there, and thanks for your interest in this dehumidifier! We know how important having the option to drain through a hose is, and are glad to advise. At this time the model does not have a specific hose attachment included or for separate purchase. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, but the model was designed to fit a standard garden hose. A garden hose can simply be threaded onto the nozzle, cut to length and lead to the floor drain. The unit drains by gravity, so we recommend cutting it as short as possible and laying it flat on the ground leading to a floor drain. Details of setting it up to drain are available in the Use and Care manual as well. We hope this information is helpful, and are glad to assist with any other inquiries or concerns you may have. We wish you all the best! -Sarah@Haier

A: Hello, and thanks for your interest in this 20 pint dehumidifier! We certainly understand your concern with the noise level if you'll be using it in a classroom.

A: Hi there, thanks for reaching out to us. Yes, the dehumidifier will shut off once the desired humidity is reached. To set the unit for continuous operation, press the pad until the “Nonstop” indicator light is illuminated. We hope that helps and we're wishing you the best. - Guy@GEA

A: Hi there, thank you for connecting with us and considering this fantastic dehumidifier for your home. That’s a great question and we are happy to answer this for you! This dehumidifier removes 20 pints of water from the air in 24 hours and is ideal for use in damp rooms up to 60% Relative Humidity. A space with a damp moisture level feels damp and has musty odor only in humid weather. The location of the unit is important in properly sizing a dehumidifier. Assuming a standard 8 ft. ceiling, the recommended area for this model would be a room up to approximately 400 square feet. ---- If your intended room is larger than this or has a damper moisture level, you may want to consider the similar QDHR50LZ 50 Pint Dehumidifier model which can service rooms up to 1000 square feet.
