Question: How does this hook up? does it need window hoses?
Document: 200sq. ft bedroom nicely. I like the fact that it has a self evaporator in it so I don't have to empty water, but I live in a dry climate so not sure how it would do elsewhere. You must open the vent manually, my previous one opened automatically when turned on, but this is no big deal, I just leave it open. It comes with a kit to vent out the window, however my previous unit was vented out the wall using a dryer vent. It was easy to hook this up to it as well.
Just the fact that there is no need to lift this air conditioner into a window has made this a great purchase. It's making the current high-80s days bearable. Good solid purchase.
I bought this for a master bedroom and bath. It cools the area very nicely. It installed very easily. You will need foam tape to provide a seal around the window insert (not supplied).
This was a heaven sent. We don't have the biggest bedroom but it cools it down nicely. It was super easy to set up, however, even though it has all the parts you need to connect it to the window there was no instructions as to how to do it. Luckily my husband made a plan and had it up and running in a short few minutes.
Unit set up easily.cools small living and dining room.With two small bedrroom window units can cool entire first floor.This combinatiion is less expensive than Central Air if you only need it for July and August.
I like the remote, the fact that it does not need to be drained, it has movable louvers, and does the job well. Only con is that it's a bit noisy. I have it in my very small office at work, which has a west-facing window and 5 computers, so can get toasty. It's only about 2 feet away, so I usually grab the remote and turn it off when I'm on the phone. But I think if it were in a larger room, it would be ok.
I may need to get a small window unit for my kitchen once the summer heat is in full force but so far this unit seems to be working fine for my space. The volume is about that of a standard stand up/rotating fan and seems quieter than my upstairs unit. The built in dehumidifier has also made a very noticable difference in the air quality/comfort within my home. I would highly recommend this unit to family and friends.
I'm going to love this thing this summer! The hose is only about 5' long so I did have to buy another flexible hose to run it to the stairs going to the attic (I also bought that A/C foil tape and just taped the hoses together...the hose gets really hot and I hope to insulate the hose soon so that heat isn't coming back into the garage).
Even with the slight gaps there isn't any leakage of cool air that takes away from the cooling power.So, if you need a unit you can feel good about putting your money into this one. You can exchange it very easily with Amazon if you get a dud, and it comes with a 5-year limited warranty if something happens after the Amazon window. The casters make it easy to roll, but I had to sit it on top of a box to make the hose reach the window. With a little adjusting you can make it work great.
I order this unit from Amazon using the Prime shipping option. I am always amazed when you order something this large that they are able to get it to you that fast. It arrived on time and was very easy to unpack, set up and get running. Unpacking directions are on the outside of the box so it is hard to miss. I took about 10 minutes to get it out of the box and have it running. One thing I forgot to order was some phone tape. You will need it to cover the gaps when you install the venting system in the window.
Answer: It comes with a 4 inch diameter hose that connects to the back on the unit and out the window. The hose has an adapter that you place in the bottom of of the window sill. You close the window down to the adapter. Your window is only open approx 4 to 5 inches. This exhausts the warm air and humidity to the outside. It is very simple to install and requires no tools. I had my unit up and running in less than ten minutes. I am very satisfied. Also unless you are really looking for it it is not noticeable from the outside.
