* Between the referenced model (TABYIK CS50-SR) and the listed specifications (35-pint capacity, internal pump), which should take precedence? – The minimum capacity required is 35 pint/hr. The internal pump is a strict requirement to allow the dehumidifier to automatically drain water through a hose and into an elevated sink (above ground level).

* Is the 21” height requirement strict, or would a unit around 23.25” be acceptable? – 23.25” is the max height requirement. Shorter is preferred.

* Are you specifically looking for a unit with an internal pump and a 10 ft drainage hose, or would a unit with continuous gravity drainage (hose connection) be acceptable? – An internal pump is a strict requirement. A drainage hose of at least 10’ is also a strict requirement.

* Is the 10 ft drainage hose requirement mandatory, or can a different length be provided if the unit otherwise meets performance requirements? - An included 10’ drainage is a strict requirement.

* Is ENERGY STAR certification required, or preferred? – ENERGY STAR certification is preferred.
