PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mount a hose for continuous drainage with simple work without removing a drain valve opening and closing a drain port provided for preventing water drop from a drain pan of a dehumidifier. SOLUTION: As the pressing force acting on an arm 24 does not exist when a drain tank is drawn out to empty the drain tank 13 of full water and not inserted in position, a lever 22 acts to press a close valve 23 to the drain port by restoring force of a spring 25, which prevents the dropping of the drain water onto a floor face. When the drain tank 13 is inserted, the closing valve 23 closing the drain port 12 is separated from the drain port 12, and the water is dropped in the drain tank 13 to bring a drainage reserving mode. When the drain tank 13 is removed and the hose for continuous drainage is attached to the drain port 12, the closing valve 23 is rotated downward to the lever 22 to allow the closing valve 23 to be kept away from an insertion passage of the exhaust hose 17, and then the exhaust hose 17 is connected to the drain port 12.
