We have a dehumidifier that can connect to WiFi. I think that's one of more strange wifi of things. Like how hard is it to set a humidity and then just empty the bucket a couple times a day. Maybe I just don't realize that it's a necessary feature but I've been emptying buckets for 18 years now and it's not a big deal. And now my husband hooked a hose to it so now I don't even need to empty a bucket, it just does it's job

Our attention spans are so low that we need reminders to dump the bucket on our phone because that's the only thing we pay attention to.

Unrelated, but I appreciate your comment because I actually need to empty mine now. I'd forgotten about it. We are averaging about five gallons a day produced in our bedroom right now!

How is the water quality? 😂 Could you drink it if you wanted to?

Honestly, since it condensates from a coil, bacteria growth should actually be a huge concern. Would be great if you had a limited water supply and you boiled it, though. Could keep the family alive for a while, anyway.
