Question: The exhaust hose expends up to 48 inches. Has anyone bought a second hose and duct taped the two together to get a longer length?
Document: I bought this about 2 years ago and it still runs good. You will have to empty the drain every 3-5 days to avoid it draining on your floor. It is a little heavy to tip and drain so I recommend elevating it on something about a few inches off the floor to allow for easy draining. Temp goes down to 62 degrees, but it doesn't get as cold as some window units, but does the job.
I am unhappy with my purchase and should have researched more before purchasing this one-hose model. With only one air exhaust hose and no second air intake hose, the unit virtually pulls in as much air from your room to exhaust as it puts out. All this does is create a vacuum condition in your house's ambient air, and it ends up pulling in hot air from outside through cracks, etc. in the house. Yes, the air has to come from somewhere to be exhausted.
works well, even in 100 degree weather. instead of feeling the heat it feels comfortable. just wish the external hose was longer.
This thing is doing exactly what it's supposed to. I have a 1bd apartment (800 sq feet) and only a window air conditioner in the bedroom that's dumber than a rock. I bought this to be smart about cooling the apartment for my cat when I'm work, so I'm not running the AC all day. It has a 5 degree F tolerance, so I can set it to 70 degrees and it won't let it get and hotter than 75.
Like my husband said it very well could have been cracked in packing so I would not count that as damage. This is the second one we bought this year and have not tried this one yet, but once we do I will come back and update the performance. I just wanted to say how pleased we were with the packing of the product. Ours was sold by AMAZON LLC, so I don't know it is because of Amazon or the manufacturer Whynter, but it was well packaged.
This machine is way too noisy. I installed it in my Bed room, but when it is on, the noise is so much, I can not watch TV, or can not sleep. Second thing, the worst part is, it is a big mistake to buy a Portable AC, which pulls outside hot and damp air in your house, and throw the nearby cooler air out through the exhaust, to cool its condenser.
Effective unit - works well. You will need a drainage hose leading to a drain or to the outside and that hose cannot rise more than 1.5 inches above the floor or the gravity fed drainage will back up and the unit will automatically shut off. This summer was humid in Montana and the unit produced about 1 gallon of condensed water per hour.
Our other unit he drilled a hole through the laminate in the bedroom floor and out the basement to get the downward flow. On this one we did not have to use the clamps shown in my pictures the hose just slid over the drain hole on the unit, we did buy 10 feet of 5/8 by 1/2 inch drain hose from Home Depot for this purpose.
Got this when a bad heatwave started. Did the job. Kept the room cool and relatively dry. Only wish the exhaust hose came out the side instead of the back for an even narrower fit under my work table, but I've never seen one do that so it is what it is. I don't sleep in this room so can't speak for the noise. It doesn't bother me.
This unit is half the size of our old one, and it's the same BTU rating (10,000 output). The 'green' electronic features to save energy are great. Only time will tell how it handles the condensation without a drain hose being used.. this is an evaporative unit so it can vent the h20 byproduct out of the exhaust (if you follow the exhaust hose constraints set in the manual!)...
Answer: My fellow ARC10WB owner,You can buy 6" Semi Rigid Aluminum Duct (which is just like this Hose), at Home Depot, an 8 Ft long piece costs $14, which has 6"(+/-) ID.  You can insert ARC10WB supplied hose, which is 5.75"OD, into this duct. Try to wrap some 1/4" foam material around hose before inserting.  Then you can carefully DUCT TAPE both together.  Joint will not be perfect or strong, but it will work.  I had to pass thru the floor.  I used a 6" sheet metal Duct connector, about 8" long, with Collar (Flange). Nailed flange to my floor, inserted hose deep into it, and inserted the other end of connector (which falls in my Basement), into the Aluminum Duct.  I secured it with a 6"Dia. Worm Screw Clamp, (you can also use those Strong Plastic Ties, if you are handi, connecting 2 or 3 together!)Good Luck,Jaysukh Ranparia
