Blows Cold! Easy Install. Relatively Quiet.
on May 20, 2017
Posted by: donkey
Will cool a 19x22 room.
The install was super easy, not sure why some people have trouble with it. It is VERY easy to attach the hot air exhaust hose. You just need to extend out the hose ends all the way and and turn the hose which "screws" it into mounting brackets. As for the exhaust panel installation in the window, I just closed the window on the plastic panel and sealed the tiny gaps with masking tape. I did not use any screws to semi-permanently mount this thing. I also did not use the second extension panel, because I would have had to cut it down to size. I just used a piece of cardboard to fill the small gap at the top.
The exhaust hose attaches securely and does not come loose from the panel mount in the window, nor does the exhaust hose come loose from the back of the unit. I mounted the exhaust hose panel vertically as my window opens sideways.
I also cut a mop handle to fit in the window to secure/lock it, so nobody could slide open the window from the outside.
You do not need to attach a garden hose to drain the water from the top drain outlet, unless you run the unit in dry(dehumidify) mode. The pan on the bottom may need draining (it will display a code on the LCD) if you live in a high humidity area. If you are in a dry area you might not need to drain water from the lower drain outlet.
This thing on high fan speed is half as loud as my window mounted unit in another bedroom. On low speed this thing is very quiet.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Will rain enter the AC unit vent hose during a storm? Will this cause any harm/damage? Should the vent hose be removed while it's raining? Should the unit NOT be used during the rain? How about when the unit is off and its raining? Thank you!

It's possible rain will enter the hose if rain blows through your window screen. It is very easy to remove the vent hose, just a slight turn and it comes out. If it was hot outside and raining, I personally would use mine, but it is your decision on what you feel comfortable with. I can't give you advice on how to use your unit.

How much does this weigh? Where can I find the specifications? This will be used on the 2nd floor. Does the shipping include bringing it to the 2nd floor?

It's probably around 50-60lbs. I carried it upstairs, but if you are old or not very strong, I would have someone assist you.

Can the exhaust be vented through an existing vent opening to the attic? Will I still need to drain the water? Can it be left on for about five hours during the day to cool the dogs room?

No. It needs to vent as short as possible through the Window. If you vent longer than the exhaust tubing that comes with it, the unit will over heat.
