Owning a early 4in1 AC, bought this 3in1 as companion model in preparing for the summer hot months. Initial powering shows it is functioning. Will update again after acutal use. Noise level is measured at 53 dB 2 feet away from outlet.
Some models has a polyurethane drain hose (tube) included as accessories, but not for this AC. For that I have to visit the store and as inconvenience for me, this earns 1-Star less in feedback. The finishings or the QCs are not that great, I see rows of condenser fins are bent.
Update: During use on the first humid day of the year found out that the self-evaporative feature is essentially useless, just as well I had connected an external water holding tank and it filled up fast. Maybe I am wrong, that is works better without the ext. tank connected but so far not having to drain the internal "tank". Will drain when the "Ft" error shows up and update of the water volume accumulated. I also insulated the duct to cut down the heat generated during the exhaust phase. The price of this AC doubled in price in less than 3 months.
Conclusion: In cooling mode only, based on the answers I received, for efficiency and to reach maximum performance do not use the continuous drain (recommend to disable it ) of adding an external water container at the middle port outlet, leave the drain hole cap screwed in. Just let the self-evaporator feature of the AC do its job of expelling the condensate in the form of warm humid air via the exhaust duct. This saves me the hassle of emptying the external tank of 2.5gallos water every day. For curiosity, I removed the botton rubber plug to find only a couple of table spoons water flowed out. So effectively, I was wrong and the self-evaporator is working as designed. I placed a rubber drip tray as added measure to prevent any leaks damaging my floor. I upgraded my review from 3 stars now to 4. Would recommend.
