  Good kit

  Finally found one that fits the outlet hose of our Delonghi aircon. This kit makes such a huge difference compared to hanging the hose out the window or even the zippered solutions.

  What It Says on The Tin
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2021
  We originally ordered the wrong size for this product but once we had replaced it, it fits perfectly in our sash window and does the job it's meant to! Cannot comment on durability as have not owned it long, and as we have not had a summer the unit has only been on twice!

  Material is a cheap flimsy plastic and due to the extendable nature of product there are gaps between the window and seal. We taped up the gaps, which worked ok. I was hoping for something a little more sturdy.

  A good kit for help with sealing off windows for air-con & tumble-dryer.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2021
  We use a portable air conditioner unit during the hot summer weeks (assuming we get any hot summer weeks!) and it's an amazing relief to enable a comfortable cool night's sleep on hot humid evenings, but there's a price to pay. The price is the potential invasion of anything that can fly deciding to enjoy the cool air within you room along with you. At night that's a real and very unsavoury problem. Also, for effective air conditioning you really need to have the aircon unit in a relatively 'sealed' room for the air conditioner to be able to cope with the effort of keeping the room cool for you. We have used various methods to combat these problems and actually have an old kit not dissimilar to the AGPTEK kit. The AGPTEK kit is more versatile than our old kit and easier to lock into place too.The way you fix this kit into place obviously depends largely on you style of windows... be they sash, side openers or tilt-open types. One kit can't really accommodate all the varieties of windows out there. However, the AGPTEK works pretty well for most of them - but you will have to make some adjustments and maybe add bits of netting/material etc to create a better window seal/fly deterrent.If you have a sash style, or sliding window then the AGPTEK is absolutely ideal and you have to do virtually no tweaking. They are the type of windows which are mainly featured in the user guide. Because a sliding or sash window leaves an opening of a flat rectangular shape the AGPTEK just fills that open rectangular void and the job's done.We have tilting windows and the AGPTEK fits very well across the main open end when the tilting window is open, and we have to add some fine netting or material to seal up the angular sides that are also open. It's not a major problem though and easily 'fixed' with a bit of fiddling about. If you have a side-opening window then it's a similar issue but the openings are obviously the other way around.This kit is great for giving you a convenient hole to poke the air-con (or tumble dryer) hose through. Ince you have adjusted the blanking 'boards' to snugly fit the window gap you can use the metal locking brakets to make the whole thing stable and secure.For the price of around £30 this is a solution for most "window extraction hose" situations, but you may have to add some customisation depending on your window type.

  Very effective as a seal for aircon
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2021
  Having sash windows in some rooms I had need of a kit to allow my portable aircon to output hot air. This is a simple but very effective solution that provides a plastic panel for the bottom of the sash window that has a portal through which the aircon exhaust can be fitted and send out the hot air.The kit arrived promptly and the instructions with it were clear and easy to follow. Installation was pretty easy and the two panels slide to expand or contract to fit the gap well. This is pretty good as it is very easy to get the right width and fit. There is also some sealing tape but I didn't feel the need to use this as there were virtually zero gaps anyway.In practice this seal works perfectly. All the hot air is expelled and no noticeable outside warm air gets in. And the real beauty of this solution is that on a temporary basis this seal can very quickly and simply be removed or added as required and in no way changes the look of the window when it isn't in place. So a lovely, clean solution.Overall if you have sash windows and a portable air con this is a highly recommended solution.

  Great window kit, so much better than the one included with the AC unit
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2021
  We recently got a portable air conditioner and it came with a window kit for sliding windows but it was really not made for windows like ours as the kit was too thin and only had two pieces this meant that there were big gaps around it and the lip on the windowsill made it very difficult to get a good fit of the exhaust pipe into the kit. This kit fixes many of our previous issues.The kit itself if very well designed having three sections means both sides of the kit are the same size helping to make a good tight fit, although there are gaps around the center part this is helped as some really good sealing tape is provided with the kit, it is strong, thick, transparent plastic tape that really does hold very well, it is surprising difficult to try and move any parts of our set up now that it is all taped into place. It is a bit of a shame however that once the kit is removed at the end of the summer that all of that tape will be going to waste.The kit also comes with a circular pipe nozzle that needs to be threaded onto the exhaust pipe, this is not my favourite design but it does hold well and is easy to install, the nozzle makes a nice snug fit into the main body of the kit and is easy to remove and replace when moving the AC unit to a different room, this does however leave a 15cm wide hole in the window, it would have been nice to have something to cover this up while not being used.One final note I wanted to mention is that when I was installing the kit I found that it was ever so slightly too narrow how what we needed with our window, but luckily the packaging included some styrofoam pads which were perfect for placing at the bottom of the window to raise up the window kit by a few centimetres to get the perfect fit.
