No, there is a drain spout on the back. It rarely needs draining though, it has a built-in feature that evaporates it. If it does start filling up with water, I use a water bottle and lean the unit back a tad to drain it. I have only had to drain it two times, when I first started running it I had to drain it, but I have not had to do so since. Even when it did have water in it, it wasn't much. I would say it wouldn't even fill a bathroom cup, you know the tiny cups people use in their bathrooms when brushing their teeth.
