Customer questions and answers

• Can the exhaust hose just be pushed out through our window which is a tilt window opening outwards from the bottom?
  My advice to ANYONE using portable air conditioning is to MAKE SURE that you can vent the hose correctly outside. This may mean additional cost regarding an electrician to fit a suitably placed socket and possibly a glazier or a builder - depending on your DIY skills to make a permanent 100% sealed outlet! I know this … see more My advice to ANYONE using portable air conditioning is to MAKE SURE that you can vent the hose correctly outside. This may mean additional cost regarding an electrician to fit a suitably placed socket and possibly a glazier or a builder - depending on your DIY skills to make a permanent 100% sealed outlet! I know this additional cost and nuisance is a pain but l have owned this type of air conditioner for years and have tried everything until l “went the extra mile” and had the outlet hose connected professionally - it saves money (as if there is a “leak” to the outside the unit will use more energy and constantly be switching in and out as it is also coping with outdoor temperatures too) Good quality Air Conditioners arrive with a “cup” or you can indeed make one - if you wish to move the unit around and use if for another purpose! DEFINITELY Folks get it fitted with no outside air coming through - you will notice a huge difference and this will also extend the life of your equipment too - as the Air Conditioner will work 100% as it is supposed to! Anything else is a noisy and expensive mistake - although ok for short term whilst you organise work! see less

• Do you have to use the exhaust pipe or is there another version that doesn’t need the exhaust?
  The pipe expels warm air outside while the room is kept cool. I haven't seen a version without the pipe even though that's what I wanted so I bought this one anyway and it's an excellent air conditioner, cools rooms very quickly so I don't really mind having the pipe hanging out of a window.

The pipe isn't that long though so I had to put the air conditioner on a stand so it reached a higher window. see less

• How loud is this ?
  Loud…63 dBs… down to 55 dBs if you are over 4 meters away. And about 52 dBs if you have silent mode on. The advertised could’ve of 47-50 dBs is a measure of sound pressure, not power level. The worst this about this unit is the rattle from the compressor.

• window bracket - hey, do I need to buy a window seal in addition to buying this unit? It says it comes with a window bracket? Can someone help?
  The unit is supplied with different items To assist with venting. For window venting you literally have to hang the flexible pipe out off the widow, there is a plastic unit that fits on the end of the pipe and this allows you to jam the window against it. It’s approximately 150mm dia, so the window will always be open… see more The unit is supplied with different items To assist with venting. For window venting you literally have to hang the flexible pipe out off the widow, there is a plastic unit that fits on the end of the pipe and this allows you to jam the window against it. It’s approximately 150mm dia, so the window will always be open. I made mine permanent fit, Drilled hole through wall. Be aware this unit very noisy. There are videos of this unit showing all the different ways to vent it. My unit does not have a 24 hour clock, It comes with a timer, so you can programme it to either switch on or off, maximum time span of 6 hours. Would have been better if you could program it do operate on auto. see less
