just received my unit and the instructions in the booklet were not very clear. This video was super helpful and i got everything set up within 10-15 minutes!
Easy to install and doesn’t take up a whole lot of space. Keeps my apartment ice cold in the summer.Also cuts the power bill in half compared to running the in house unit.
Thank you for this detailed video. I was having the hardest time just to connect the hose. I have to connect mine to my back sliding screen door. Wish it was easier like yours!
@@daviannareece102 this is really only for a room of about 300 ft.². It will not cool the whole house just one little room. Good luck thanks for watching.
Wow... what a great instructional video, I love the hippie vibe, cool and calm demeanor, the soft voice and a great cadence with simple and exact instructions. Well Done!
You have to attach the flex hose to the collar on the machine and to a collar on a window sleeve vent the hot air has to go out of the room through the window. Good luck thanks for watching. Stay cool.
Do i put water in it ? I bought mine used. It didnt have a book. Worked good the first 2 days then stopped putting out cool air ,why is there anything i can do ?
No, you do not put water in it as a matter fact you have to drain water out of it because you get condensation from the coils and it also pulls water out of the air and the heat exchange so you have to check the two valves in the back of the machine, every once in a while if it fills up, it will turn off. Good luck thanks for watching. Stay cool this summer.
Thank you so much for the detailed installation guide! I’m looking to buy one and want to ask if you think it’s too much of a hassle to install and remove the window kit on daily basis? My home office has massive windows and it’s a bit hotter than rest of the house some days so I want to use it for those days. But for safety reasons I would like to remove it once I’m done for the day. Based on your video it looks like it should not take too long to just put the window kit back up to the window but would like your opinion. Thank you!
If only there was a way to find out where in the video he starts installing the machine?? 🤔 Perhaps even clearly labeled to distinguish between the product information and assembly portions of the video. If only 😢
So I ordered this from Amazon, but I’m not sure if it’s gonna come with the window stuff and the hose, do you guys know if I gotta buy that separately or it should come with all that?
I just bought one of portable AC units why does it shut off I don’t know if it’s the timer or what it is I usually keep it pretty cold like 65 or 66 degrees and throughout the night it will just shut off and not stay on
It may turn off when it gets to a certain temperature and then when the temperature comes back up, it should kick back in or it’s freezing up on you because you got it so low. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
Can i sit my portable on a wooden table? It's impossible to drain without making a mess and im disabled so i can't do much. Draining is ruining my carpet.
I have watched several videos read the whole manual, drained the water out and tried resetting it using the switch. I only got mine a week ago and haven’t even used it for a whole week and already mine is stuck on 32 cooling and it doesn’t even cool the room down. Idk what to do now and yes I also did leave it to sit upright for almost 2 days when I first received it. Please help😂
I would send it back and get a new one. Sounds like yours is defective. If it’s not blowing cold, cold air it could’ve been injured in transit. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
You will have to cut it you could use a jigsaw or a miter saw just mark it and make sure it’s nice and straight at a 90° angle. Good luck thanks for watching.
Sir have u ever thought of doing a video on a costway air conditioner I have one with the number EP24618US but the only thing is I have not been able to enjoy it because it keeps shutting off with a code highlighting E5 (error message) please help!!!!
When you see an E5 error on your air conditioner it means that the water collection tank is full. So the solution to the problem is to drain the water collection tank. This is something that is easy to do yourself without needing to call a professional AC repairer.
I think mine is broken. 87 outside. I have I on max. I can only feel it from literally right next to it. Walk 3 feet away and it's as hot as with the ac off
No, we have a bunch of those so that we could open our windows six or 7 inches and then lock them there. You can buy them on Amazon. Good luck thanks for watching.
To add to the window lock thread, our daughter just got a portable ac and lives alone would love to get her some locks for her windows. You mentioned Amazon having them but all we see are metal ones that would be super noticeable. We could have overlooked the ones similar to the ones you used but do you happen to still have the brand/name of the ones you used in the video we like the fact that they seem to blend in better.
@@randomentertainment180 you can pull those filters out and squirt them with a water or pressure hose and then just let them dry before you put them back in. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
@@randomentertainment180 so ACs basically take moisture out of the air. That’s why you have to drain them so it’ll actually make the room drier which is good as far as mold goes. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
These are fairly small units only good for about 200 ft.² so if you’re trying to cool anything larger, it will not not work. Good luck. Thank you for watching. Stay cool this summer.
just received my unit and the instructions in the booklet were not very clear. This video was super helpful and i got everything set up within 10-15 minutes!
Great to hear! stay cool thanks for watching!
Very helpful video! I've just spent 10 minutes going through videos and none were very informative. But yours was great! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Try to stay cool this summer
Easy to install and doesn’t take up a whole lot of space. Keeps my apartment ice cold in the summer.Also cuts the power bill in half compared to running the in house unit.
They definitely use less electricity which is good. Stay cool thanks for watching.
Thank you for this detailed video. I was having the hardest time just to connect the hose. I have to connect mine to my back sliding screen door. Wish it was easier like yours!
Good luck on your install and keep cool this summer
Does it work like a central AC?

Do you know how to get replacement parts for this?
Check Amazon amzn.to/4fMPFCF
Thank you! Very helpful!

Those look like fairly new windows. So, you have the bottom window locked and unable to be raised up, but does the top window slide down ??
Only the bottom window raises there, Hurricane Windows’s thanks for watching.
Thanks Tom!
You are welcome! Keep cool the summer
Should I be worried about the hot air it’s blowing in the back?
As long as the hot air is going out and not coming in, you’re good
@@TomLeeman I don’t want to put the hot air out my window cuz a lot of bugs.. think it’s safe to just have in my room?
Hi great video I haven't purchase yet What is the height of the window plate Thanks ?
Not sure
Hi Tom, which one do you like best? You have a couple different ones.
I would go with the 12,000 BTU that’s kind of cool the room down really well

Takes like two minutes to pull it out of the window so that should be no problem for you
Wow! 3 minutes of useful info crammed into a 20 minute video!
Thanks for the view
Haha sarcastic mf
Be nice. I found it informative with the same model. Helped me figure it out❤
If only there was a way to find out where in the video he starts installing the machine?? 🤔 Perhaps even clearly labeled to distinguish between the product information and assembly portions of the video. If only 😢
So I ordered this from Amazon, but I’m not sure if it’s gonna come with the window stuff and the hose, do you guys know if I gotta buy that separately or it should come with all that?
It comes with everything that you need exhaust hose or dock window sleeves and draining hose. Good luck stay cool.
Is there a way to cover the window hole temporarily if you want to wheel the unit into another room?
Well, you can always just shut the window
Drain water 💧 if fulled the Ac automatically off ?....thanks for information ❤.
I do believe that the reservoirs get full it should make some dings or sounds and then it should stop good luck stay cool this summer
Tom would you mind telling me where I can get those locks you added after install and what they are called
Those are window locks, and I think you can get them on Amazon
I just bought one of portable AC units why does it shut off I don’t know if it’s the timer or what it is I usually keep it pretty cold like 65 or 66 degrees and throughout the night it will just shut off and not stay on
It may turn off when it gets to a certain temperature and then when the temperature comes back up, it should kick back in or it’s freezing up on you because you got it so low. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
If my window doesn’t open to the full width of the window slider would they be possible to cut?
Yes, I actually had to cut one to fit it
Can i sit my portable on a wooden table? It's impossible to drain without making a mess and im disabled so i can't do much. Draining is ruining my carpet.
I think you could
Hi - thank you for the video! Can this be used as a vertical set up? My window opens side to side.
Yes, absolutely I have another video where I did a vertical with Toshiba. You can check it out luck. Thanks for watching.
How often do you gotta empty the water in it? I'm new to floor units
We were in Florida so it’s really humid so we had to do it every day
Mine starts blowing air as soon as you plug it in, without even pressing the power button. Is that normal?
That’s interesting. Usually you have to press the power button to get it to work, but yours is turning right on must be something of a glitch.
I have watched several videos read the whole manual, drained the water out and tried resetting it using the switch. I only got mine a week ago and haven’t even used it for a whole week and already mine is stuck on 32 cooling and it doesn’t even cool the room down.

Does it cool the room down tho? I have have 180Sqft room and tried 3 brands and non of them are cold enough!
It should cool down room that size quick. It’s rated for 350 ft.² it should work for you. Good luck thanks for watching.
@5:28 that window part is too long even at the shortest length, what should I do? :(
You will have to cut it you could use a jigsaw or a miter saw just mark it and make sure it’s nice and straight at a 90° angle. Good luck thanks for watching.

@@mouukiehaynes8518 you are welcome
You have to exhaust the hot air out of the room, not into the room otherwise it’s never gonna cool
How do i exaust the hot out of the room first ?
Thank you for this detailed video! ❤
You are so welcome!
I think mine is broken. 87 outside. I have I on max. I can only feel it from literally right next to it. Walk 3 feet away and it's as hot as with the ac off
Take it back and purchase a new one or get your money back. That’s what I would do. Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for make it easy to understand.. also question, what are the bag of screws used for?
Can screw the gate into exhaust
Excellent video, thank you!!! Was that little security lock you added to your window included with the ac? Or something to buy separately?
No, we have a bunch of those so that we could open our windows six or 7 inches and then lock them there. You can buy them on Amazon. Good luck thanks for watching.
@@TomLeeman thank you!!! I found them 😀

Do I need to put water in there?
No but you will need to drain it
@@TomLeeman can I just clean the filter with dry tissues or should I wash it?
@@randomentertainment180 you can pull those filters out and squirt them with a water or pressure hose and then just let them dry before you put them back in. Good luck. Thanks for watching.

Hey Tom Leeman
If you’re in a real humid climate, you’re gonna accumulate water so you want to check it if it’s super humid where you’re at likeFlorida
That's the big lie, I bought two and they don't cool at all. A device that does not have a compressor is impossible to cool.
These are fairly small units only good for about 200 ft.² so if you’re trying to cool anything larger, it will not not work. Good luck. Thank you for watching. Stay cool this summer.
Everything except how to install😢
Good luck stay cool
problem with this is it allows noise in
They are noisy that is for sure. Thanks for watching.
How long before the water fills and shuts off the machine
Depends on how humid it is where you live in Florida I had to drain it every day
So if u dont use the dehumidifyer theres no water build up?
Thanks for the video. It helped a lot!
You're welcome! Stay cool the summer😎🤙
