They definitely are, the place we are in now has no central air so I have a portable for every room. I am moving to a new house next month though where I will finally have central air. Just secured the place today so i am excited.
Do I have to take out my window screen? I was hoping there would be more of a step by step instructions. I am 64 and ordered one of these as I can't lift and place in my old window a/c.
@@Jakereviewsall Thank you for the answer. You will most likely get more views as this unit came up as Amazon's choice and people like me need some technical guidance sometimes.
@@grama9094 If I still had it I would do a whole new updated video on it but I donated this to someone during a heat wave last year who needed it a lot more than me.
@@grama9094 hahaha, I would be willing to come help you if we were close. Do not let it worry you too much, its a lot easier than many think. You just need to attach the panels, put it into the window, close the window against it and connect the hose.
It's been a year since you posted this, so I hope I can get a reply. We are looking at this model for a small office in our warehouse. There is a door to the office, and there is a window but it is a plate glass window, it does not open. How would we be able to use this without having a window to put the exhaust hose out of? Could we run it vertical to the ceiling and out of a ceiling tile? We are in Houston, TX. It's very hot in the summer and extremely humid.
Some options I have seen are to put a dryer vent into the wall which will require cutting a hole. I would not recommend exhausting into the ceiling unless you can run that exhaust all the way out. The exhaust is hot and also humid.
You can use on either and I have, the window panels normally break down into 2 or 3 panels depending on the air conditioner and you can adjust the size of them to fit.
Looking at getting this for my room, I was wondering If you'd been using this since your video came out? I'm curious if there's any long term issues with this brand.
I would say that it should but also depends on the if the room is insulated much and how hot it might be outside. I would also recommend one of the insulated hoses.
So what temp did you start with and what did it get down to. I’m trying to get one that will at very least keep my 240 sq ft bedroom at 72. My apartment is the upstairs of a house so heat rises. In summer 75 outside is 80 indoors and gets much worse as summer and humidity rise. It can get to be 98 degrees in my house even at 74 I’d be happy. So 20 to 25 degree drop is what I’m looking for. I don’t have money to waste on a unit that doesn’t work. I wish I could afford to do my living spaces too but this is already a big chunk. Especially for 3 months of use. They want almost 100 dollars a month for these. Then the cost of running them. It’s not cheap, but I’ve suffocated two summers in this place. Fans just don’t cut it. I have good cross circulation so maybe that’d help some too.
I'm no expert, but I don't think there's a water tank. The dehumidifier pulls water from the air and out the drain hose in the back, so hook up the hose on the back and put the end of the hose in a container. Check it often so it doesn't overflow. I hope you're satisfied with your unit. We bought two and began using one immediately. It never really cooled the room down. It's just sort of like a cooling fan but not an A/C. It's possible that I don't have the setting right, the room is too big, or maybe the room is too hot before I turn it on.
what about draining the water?
Thanks for your video. You didn’t show how u connected that unit on the back. Took me a while to figure that part out. Thanks
Portable air conditioners are a life saver! My central air conditioning compressor quit working so I just bought a couple portable ones .
They definitely are, the place we are in now has no central air so I have a portable for every room. I am moving to a new house next month though where I will finally have central air. Just secured the place today so i am excited.
@@Jakereviewsall congrats on that!
@@cookingwithsherry thanks, the kitchen is much bigger plus a huge covered patio so maybe new videos to come.

No need to remove the screen at all, the hose is only going to be blowing air out like a window fan would do. Those window units are definitely heavy.

@@Jakereviewsall That was really nice of you to do. You can borrow mine to show how to put it together, then I won't have to do it. *wink*

How does the outside of the hose look shouldn’t it have a cover
Never seen an AC include a hose cover, those are always a separate purchase.
So does the exhaust pipe leak or not? I'm seeing some yes and some not if the exhaust pipe is set properly. What is properly?
Mine did not for the 2 years I used it.

@@Jakereviewsall Thanks so much.
Is this unit rollable? With castor wheels.....
Does this rotate strong airflow at a 65degree angle?
Leakage?
Large or smaller window output design?
yes it rolls, leakage will be based on how well you set it all up, the hose is flexible so it could go any angle..
Do these devices only work with vertical windows or could they be installed horizontal? I have windows that open up and down with a screen.

Worked great for 2 summers and then i gave it to someone during the last heat wave who needed it more.

Can it actually lower the whole 250 sq ft room down to around 65F? Need one for workout room and want it cold in there.
I would say that it should but also depends on the if the room is insulated much and how hot it might be outside. I would also recommend one of the insulated hoses.

I can not for the life of me figure out how to open the top water tank, please help. Ty
