I just called Sears to ask whether their Kenmore dehumidifiers are any
better. They said that the hose attaches above the bucket and uses an
"adapter", which makes me suspect that it has many of the same problems
as the LG dehumidifier. *sigh*

The current Sears models are also made by LG. Check the reviews. Some
people have reported excellent results, others aren't happy.
