I initially installed this with a drain pipe and turned it on after waiting the stated 24 hours to allow the unit to acclimate after shipping. A few days later I decided to try a collection bucket to see how quickly it filled up. I'm glad I did as I found that it only holds about 4 pints a day which is 10% of the advertised capacity. It has a small reservoir and I figured I'd have to empty it often. This device is rated for 40 pints per day. I assume they are using an old humidifier rating based on the performance I received. so 70 pints in the old scoring). This competing device was slightly larger, cost $20 less, had more features, was also Energy Star qualified, included a 2-year warranty, and came with a very liberal return policy from the seller compared to the Revain (which was very restrictive and is much less). more liberal than it used to be, which doesn't make sense for such a lucrative business, except that you can never make enough. I think I'll want to shop elsewhere and give up Prime altogether because I don't want to get stuck on Chinese junk. ). A competing unit uses an average of 32 pints per day, which is 64% of advertised capacity, which is still inaccurate, but the entire dehumidification industry seems to exaggerate their performance numbers. There were so many advantages to keeping a larger unit, including $20 cheaper and a longer warranty and the ability to return up to 30 days on-site. This made the return decision easy for me as I didn't want to be stuck with Chinese junk at high dollar prices. Revain, I hope you have more success with product selection and pricing in the future. If all you can find is junk for sale, I'll shop elsewhere.
