In both cases the leaks were NOT coming from the water outlet port on the bottom (dehumidify water outlet)- it was bone dry. That's why I was left with the impression that this type of unit was unreliable, and why I wanted to inquire before buying a 3rd unit.

All air conditioners will produce condensate water from the cooling coil. But, some units are designed to cause the water to evaporate, so a drain pipe is not needed. That is the way refrigerators handle the condensate water. In the dehumidify mode, the A/C unit will produce more condensate water, so it would need a drain connection.
