can this unit be use as a cooling system for summer?

It's strictly heat only. There's no option to make it run as just a fan, nor is there any kind of cooling feature.

Yes it can, it can be used as just an AC unit. It sounds roughly the same though.

Portable units generally use more power than window units so yes, your best bet to run it low if you are going to go with this one. I found window units to be much more cooling overall, though don't know the exact comparison in costs as I have lived in rental units that had a flat fee for a/c units in the summer regardless of the model.

Yes provided that the unit is protected from the elements: freezing, rain, direct sunlight. Some customers who put it outside will build a little shed or "doghouse" for it.

I don't see any reason why not. Just be sure that there's plenty of clearance around the unit.It needs to breath AKA ventilation. The unit generates a little heat and that needs to be dissipated.

I would not use this for what you have in mind, it would over heat you need to find one that has a large heat sink with a fan.

if it's not too humid and the air is blowing on you from less than 8', yes. Nice cool, humidified air. Can be made to fan across area and could cool two or three people adequately. I have three units and really love them inside.

This unit is rated for outdoor use. I use mine for working on motorcycle in the hot Texas summer. If you can get a bit of shade you will find it does a pretty good job of cooling things off. It is humidity dependent so it will not cool as much in humid weather. When it is hot and raining I just run the fan. I bought some liquid additive to keep the tank and filter from getting nasty.

It's worth a try. Obviously, the evaporation rate is going to count a lot here, since that is how you get your cooling. Worth a shot.

Yes... it needs to be able to take in air from outside. If you can't do that, you need a stand-alone water-cooled unit (try the Penguino).

No, I dont think so, we put it in our living room and it barely cools this area, our apartment is 700 sq ft too, and we have this ac in the living area, that is, kitchen, living amd dinning.

Not that I am aware of. Since the unit is air cooled it would probably be a bad idea.

Sure can. No problem. Unit exterior is not hot. My cats sleep on top of it.

Only if it is protected from moisture such as rain, snow or spinklers. They have vent slots,top & bottom, to cool the electronics.

I am sure it could be used. I use it as a cooling station on my canopy when we would do events during the dog days of summer. it worked real well. I would check with MfR to be sure

It expels heat out the back which may prove to be inefficient if you have the entire unit in a room. The back portion would have to be outside for the unit to cool a room efficiently.

Yes. Unit is mounted on the wall and a hole needs to made through to the outside so you can run the connections to the outside unit. There are several good videos online for installing ductless cool/heat systems. This unit can heat and cool a room, just select the option you want on the remote control.
