How does the water drain?

Rea, this unit has a drain hose that is designed to be hooked onto or placed in a sink or laundry tub for draining. Maytag does recommend that the sink be able to drain at least 7gpm.

No, it does not. There are tiny open slats along the sides, at the base where the house lies on. I suppose you could use a power setting on your hose, direct it through the circular opening in the front, add some soap or bleach or whatever you use, cover the hole and shake furiously around for awhile and then rinse thouroughly. It would then drain through the bottom slats.

Their is 1 drainage hole at the bottom, drains pretty well just have to tilt a little to drain it all.

There is a drainer. The only problem is that it is easy to get a hole in it but OK product. All of them have this issue though.

The drain is located on the right side. It allows you to have items such as a large pot sitting in the sink and still have water reach the drain.

There is a drain stop inside of it. You just pull the stopper out and it drains.

As Jim says below, the drain hose only works on gravity; there is no pump, so if the drain hose is kinked, going up hill, or is otherwise inhibiiting the ability of the water to just drain on its own the water will go back to the tank and fill it up.

It mostly drains by itself. The base is tilted so that the water drains away from the highest point (silverware tray). However, at the base the opening is only in the middle and so a tiny bit of water can accumulate on either side of the drainage opening. I tip it a bit from left to right if I see water sitting there. To me it's not a big deal.

It doesn't have a drain. It's kind of open though, like smaller at the base and the top opening is bigger, so it gets some air. I haven't found it too bad with the mold and such. it's nice, and easy to clean.

Keep a little water in it all the time. The only time I totally drain mine is to clean it.

I find it drains very well. Easy to clean. Once in a awhile I put it into the sink to wash it. Easy.

Yes, there is a drain hole in the center of the bottom shelf. Also there are places for water to drain off in the corners of the top shelf.

It comes with a drain. I had bought one separately because that detail was left out.

It seems to me that it drains like most sinks. I usually use my sprayer to easily wash down the sink. I too am very careful with water as we use a cistern for our water.

There's also a drain plug almost at the bottom. You can unscrew the cap to drain it or screw a hose onto it.

No, it does not. Also the sink has a flat bottom so draining is not like a normal sink.

On the back wall, about an inch off the bottom of it, there's the host attachment. This is a threaded connection in which it comes with an adapter that screws into that and gives you the laguna quick click/fit connection.To drain it you could pop the hose off and let it drain but that will leave an inch of water in there. Also once the pump is turned off that feeds that hose the water drains down back into the pond, or so mine does (don't see why everyone else's wouldn't either).
