The picture is after installing the exhaust hose, be mindful that the ac should have an 18 inch clearance all around. The unit cools my bedroom quickly. Assembly was quick and easy. I have not had to empty the water tank yet, this is day 3 of use. I would say I’ve had it running about 12 hours a day. The window insert was too short for my window so had to do some DIY fixing at the top. I didn’t think about the fact that I wouldn’t be able to close my blinds so keep that in mind.
