Is this A/C unit vented to the back instead of the sides like window units usually are?

It is vented to the back. Sides are solid tin or closed if you will.Today I went back to P.C. Richards and return my AC. Good luck with your purchase because that noise issue is not problem with every unit. That's what see that other people are saying.

Yes, the unit is vented to the back. I get a lot of compliments on it. Best money I spent all year. No one beats Amazon's prices. I got the bang for my buck with this one.

I can't answer your question with any certainty so either you can contact the Friedrich company or a Home Depot or anyplace that sells AC units and they should have knowledgeable people.

It is vented with louvers on the top and grill on the back. It can be used through the wall or the window. Mine is through the wall and I am very happy with it

Yes it is , vented to the back because it has convertible to use in window or wall.

the vents are on the sides. the entire back exposes the cooling panel. I don't know why others say it is vented on the back

It is vented in the back. I am very pleased with my unit (going on two summers now). It cools effectively and doesn't seem too noisy to me.I STAND CORRECTED! Sansan is correct: the vents are on the side.

the condenser fan is design to blow thru the condenser coil and fins to release the heat of the space to the outside,some of the air gets diverted to the side vents.

There us an intake fan pulling air in Bach on the right, and out flow venting on the left side of the unit which spans about 3/4 of the left side, from back towards front. Front to back is 14" deep 21" left to right. The side vent comes 8.5" from back of unit. Hope this helps you. Tom.

The unit has a fan that makes noice when venting to prevent from getting hot when use. Hope this helps.

Hi Connian; Both small sides have mesh windows, one zips up (if desired), the other does not (permanently attached). The top zips open if desired as well as the entry door. The back side has a mesh window (permanent). So, it vents on all four sides and the top. This is a wonderful product, we have two. It collapses easily for transportation and has clasps to hold it closed, plus a carry handle.

There is a hose that attaches to the back and to a window. The hot air is pumped through that house and to the outside. Though the unit itself is not in the window, the accessory it comes with is.

Well, I'm not sure what to tell you, because I'm not sure exactly what you mean :-) Both side and the back of the air conditioner have are slits in them... but I'm not sure I would call it a "grill"? The back of mine is hanging out of my 2nd story window, so I can't exactly get a good close-up look at it... sorry.

Yes, it has side slide outs that fit into the window and also the foam insulation to put around the ac to seal in the window.

This particular unit has to go out side. Its not vented properly for outside. So only outside.

Yes there is ventilation front and back (back is just like the front except it is not a door). Well made unit.

Yes, I purchased this AC as a replacement for my old one that died which was a in the wall unit AC. It fit perfect. All you have to do is not attach the sides for the window. One thing I do have to say that it is a bit loud. Hope that helped. :)

Yes, I did the same thing. The vent was movable to blow from back or the top of the unit.

The hot air blows from vents on the sides, all the way around the unit. It works well, worth every $.

There are panes that can be attached to the unit which fill the open area and seals the window to prevent loss of cooling air. I suppose this is what you mean by "slide out sides". Let me know if this helps.

No. The window needs to open a bit for the flow of air to go through the AC

All Air Conditioners need to be vented as far as I know. Otherwise hot air will just blow out into the room and negate the cool air flowing out. This one in particular though has a hose out the back to be vented out a window.

No it does not, which is why we purchased a swamp cooler versus a room ac unit. We did not want to deal with windows and venting

This unit is mounted outside the building so does not require additional venting other than what is right in the unit. There are also some units that are mounted inside the building, and those do require a vent to the outside.
