How long the window kit? See all 3 answers I require a QUIET AC portable unit that doesn't require draining by self-evaporating What should I look for? This unit does not require draining at all. We have been running this Air Conditioning unit for a month now and the self evaporating feature works perfectly. As far as quiet all I can do is speak of this in a relative manner. We had a very nice 8 thousand BTU window unit that was very quiet. When it was running we only…When it was running we only had to turn up the TV one or two levels to hear at a comfortable level. We had to replace it with a portable unit because our neighborhood has a covenant that bans window units. This Honeywell 10,000 BTU unit is much quieter. My wife and I can leave the TV volume at the same level on or off. In reality the sound it makes is a soft soothing sound. We like to turn it on set to run for one hour when we go to bed because we find the sound to be quite relaxing. I hope that helps.

See all 5 answers Hi, this is my first time buying a portable AC. The description says auto evaporating?? I see people talking about hose? whats the hose for? The hose and a plastic window slide mount for the hose come with the unit to discharge the heat/evaporating process. Kind of a bumber as my windows swing out. It is made for windows that slide up so plastic insert can be placed in open bottom of window, which is a security risk if on the 1st floor. Also hose gets quit …Also hose gets quit warm and should be insulated to prevent heat from hose interfering with the cooling of the room. The unit works very well in our 2nd fl Master bed room. But a permanent install would be better, where you back the unit up to a exterior wall hole saw a hole through and install a dryer type vent outside. I hope this explanes it! I bought this because I have been recovering from back surgery in bed and we were having our hottest summer in Alaska. Especially upstairs as we have no central AC.

Had my boys install it. Definatly does the job, kept our large bedroom cool. See all 4 answers I see that most portable AC Machines come with a vent kit and shows a window that opens by pulling up.. Does this vent kit work with a window that you pull sideways to slide open?there are videos that show how people have solved this problem, though not necessarily for this Honeywell. Principle is the same. I bought this machine two years ago and it works wonderfully. The window kit is very flimsy, my only complaint. I bought artists oak canvas stretchers (…I bought artists oak canvas stretchers (they come in all sizes) to make a frame to fit at the bottom of my window. Then mounted part of the plastic window kit (the part with the hole for the horn) into the frame, using scrap pieces of plywood to close unwanted spaces and to hold it in place.. Once the stretchers are painted they look very nice, since the stretchers have mitred corners. I'm 81 with no carpentry skills, so I think anyone can do this.

Your could buy two long stretchers to fit the height of your window and then two short strethers to accomodate the width of the plastic piece.

It comes with a 4 inch diameter hose that connects to the back on the unit and out the window. coleman rv a c unit partsThe hose has an adapter that you place in the bottom of of the window sill. my home ac unit is not coolingYou close the window down to the adapter. little ac unitYour 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.

See all 8 answers How many amps does it draw? Got this, set it up, plugged it in. Power light blinking red. Unit won't turn on manually or remotely. Tested, reset, unplugged, replugged. The light blinking is supposed to indicate the condensation reservoir needs emptying. I would try draining it, even though it shouldn't be full. Also, whatever senses it's full may have been jarred during shipping and needs to physically be reset, if it's a float sensor or something like that.…Also, whatever senses it's full may have been jarred during shipping and needs to physically be reset, if it's a float sensor or something like that. If it senses the condensation full with another type of sensor, it could just be a bad unit, needing replacement. How it senses liquid presence would determine how to go about troubleshooting it. Can this unit be vented to another interior room rather than to the outdoors? How long does it take to cool down a bedroom? And how long does it stay cool and need to be turned back on?

(I live in Cali, weather normally 90-100) does the unit work without tripping a breaker because of the 10,000 btu That all depends on the amount of amp service you have for where ever you are plugging in this unit. I believe this unit uses 9.8 amps. We had a 15 amp breaker for the room we were using this unit in. It never tripped our breaker. I suggest you double check the amps this unit uses (like I said, I thought it was 9.8 but…I suggest you double check the amps this unit uses (like I said, I thought it was 9.8 but double check that!!) and check the amps you have to that area. See all 6 answersWith the heat of summer rapidly approaching, we’re all going to need surefire ways to keep cool. You may be concerned if your living space doesn’t come equipped with an air conditioning unit, but you shouldn’t be! Window AC units can be just as effective … you just need to know how to use them. Read on to discover tips on how to stay frosty this summer by making the most of your window unit!

The most important thing when it comes to making the most of your window AC unit is setting it up in the right location. When choosing a window in your living space, you’re going to want to avoid sun-facing windows or placing your unit in direct sunlight. Sunlight usually warms a room by 10 to 20 degrees, making it much harder for your window unit to do its job effectively. Aim for windows facing away from the sun if you want maximum cooling. You’re also going to want to place your window unit in the room you frequent the most. The window unit most likely won’t be able to cool off every room in the house equally, so place it in the room you want cooled the most, like the bedroom or living room. Lock In the Cold Air Once you’ve selected your room and window, you’re going to want to maximize the cooling potential as much as possible. To do this, make sure all other windows and doors are closed tightly. This will assist in making sure the cool air does not leak into other rooms and areas of the house.

If you really want to go the extra mile, you can place a blanket or towel beneath the door to ensure maximum coolness. Be wary of certain household appliances that add heat to a room. Things like dishwashers, washers, dryers and ovens can all make your window unit’s job much more difficult than it needs to be. If you have any of these appliances in the room where you’ve set up your window unit, it is highly recommended you not run them while your AC unit is running. Consider heat-makers when placing your window unit. Large appliances can add stress to your AC. To squeeze the very most out of your window unit, add a fan to the mix. Combining the cool airflow of your window unit with an electric fan will make everything so much cooler. This will help save money, too, because the added coolness from the electric fan means you won’t be turning your window unit up so high, saving you big bucks at the end of the day.
