A small hose came with our dehumidifer. We did not want to use the continuous operation, which usually needs longer drain hose. So we went with the standard unit. If you want to make sure you get the longer hose for the continuous drain operation, you will have to specify a slightly different model number. It is the same basic machine, just a little different adapter and hose kit. You'll probably have to make sure you explain your question to your sales advisor before you buy . . . or get the correct model number from Honeywell before ordering online. As I understand it, the different models are the same price, just feature a different kit. Hope this helps.
