Got one for myself last month and it's been a pretty good unit. No complaints so far.

I put together a 3/8" barb to 3/4" FHT adapter, 3/8" inner diameter braided tubing (doesn't have to be braided) and a tube clamp so I wouldn't need to screw a 3/4" garden hose directly to the drain connector on the back of the dehumidifier. See attached pic.

I just don't see a point in using these in hot humid summer. Better off turning on the AC. The problem with this(someone please tell me I am doing it wrong) is that it blows hot air right back into the space. It reduces humidity but makes the space hot. There's no way to redirect the hot air outside...
These are very effective in basements where there's moisture in the air, but its relatively cool. I've got a couple running downstairs where its consistently 65 degrees and they've been keeping it ~50% humidity this summer.

I tend to agree with this mostly. The exception, as I see it, is for basements as below ground humidity can cause mold growth, even if a whole house central AC is working.

Just curious, but why not just screw a standard garden hose directly onto the threaded drain nozzle?
With some hoses there's not a female connector that turns independently of the entire hose when connecting to the dehumidifier. It can also keep the drain nozzle from being stressed during the hose connection process or when the dehumidifier is moved. I recently found that the connector built into a leaking $1,300 Aprilaire dehumidifier of mine had cracked because of it. The whole unit has to be replaced. Fortunately Aprilaire is willing to do so at no cost but it's been informative for me.

Ok thanks, I see and good point. My Frigidaire where I directly attach my garden hose has a plastic drain nozzle. I can see where frequent hose removal/attachment or movement of the unit risks cracking the nozzle. Probably ok to directly attach if never needing to make any changes or not much movement of the unit.

I did something similar with this garden hose quick disconnect for $7. The base connector attaches to the dehumidifier nozzle one time, and then the garden hose can easily be disconnected at any time without damage risk.

I'm in FL here and central AC will keep the house around 50-60% humidity when it turns on a few times an hour during the day. At night when it's on less often I run a dehumidifier when I sleep so my wood floors wont cup.

A few months out of the year when it's cool and humid you'd need to run it more often.

The Danby is still on sale at Costco at least in my area. I just ordered one with free same day delivery from my warehouse for $180 - $35 "instant savings", so it's $145 + tax -- a little cheaper than this Insignia.

Got my Mom two of these last year. They are champs. Every time we talk she talks about how much water it pulls in. Great price for a good product.

Figure 582 watts = .582 kw.

I pay roughly $.17/kwh so then for one hour of using .582 kw, I'd pay about $.0989 or just under a dime per hour.

So for every 24 hours, it'd be around $2.40... times 30 days in a month and your looking at $72/mo in increased electric cost.

But that's only if it is rated correctly and runs full blast 24/7... Chances are that real world usage would be significantly less, but will obviously depend on weather, humidity, electric rates, run time per day, etc.
could be half of that. $30 is reasonable. and people are willing to pay that much just for that purpose? as you can see. they dont run one but two or more.

I've considered getting something like this (although I'm not sure of this one specifically) to use in case the central AC goes out. Obviously if the central AC goes out, this won't be able to cool (or dehumidify) the entire house, but maybe the bedroom? Or at least a room so that it's not so miserable while waiting for the central AC to get fixed.

I'd hate to spend a whole lot of money on something that frankly I'd hope I'd never need to use. But as a contingency plan, something like this could come in handy.

Dehumidifiers blow out warm air as they dehumidify, FYI. You might not get the cooling effect you're hoping for.

Saw this one on Amazon, 70 pints, $134. How are they compared?

Yea, that's kind of what I thought.

I've seen "Portable Air Conditioners" that's more of what I've (very lukewarmly) been looking at. Although what I've seen are considerably more expensive than this - but that's explained by different uses.

Mine drains to sump ok. The sump pump should automatically pump out excess water when it gets too high. No need for dehumidifier with extra pump here.
