Do you have to use the exhaust vent to use this machine? I don't have a window I can exhaust it out of.

You definitely need to vent the hot air out of the area you want to cool. Bottom line if you don't have a window to vent the hot air this ac unit would be useless to you.

Yes. You have to use the vent for the AC to cool the room. The exhaust temp is very hot.

Yes, you need to vent it for it to work properly. The window kit is super easy to install and remove. I recommend this unit.

Your unit should be vented to the outside in some manor. What I did wa make a partition that I could vent through and close the window or screen on it. I also sealed it with aluminum tape. (bought at Home Depot or an Auto parts store.)

Yes, the unit has to vented outside, heat air can go outside through the hose. the hose connect the machine and window kits. It is easy to setup. Thanks for your question.

Yes, this unit must be placed in the window to pull fresh air in and exhaust out the hot air. It is a great unit that cools the space well.

It's a window unit. Exhaust side needs to be properly ventilated to the outside.

I don't vent mine. As other users have mentioned, just put a leg of pantyhose over the opening of the exhaust pipe and it catches all the lint. It's great in winter since it provides heat and some moisture. In the summer it doesn't really heat up the room. Just check it and clean or replace as needed. I have no problems at all.

No, it does not. The inside air handler is a closed system, and does NOT have any vents that open to outside air. Only larger units would have this option, and unfortunately, even those are usually too small to be effective. Best option is to open a window elsewhere and put a fan in it to bring in outside air.

Nope, you just need a window and an electrical outlet. It works really well. Just a little loud but we run it during the day and then turn it down or off at night.

For cooling it does need to be vented out. The dehumidifier or fan can be run without venting.

no, you don't need one, since you should have your window open to ventilate the area any way.

To use it as an an air condioner, you do need to run the hose to the outside. Hot air is vented out thru the hose, and cold air comes out of the vent into the room. When using as a dehumidifier, the exhaust hose does not need to vent outside, but you will get no cooling.

Mine does not have a vent, but plenty of air circulates from underneath, as far as I can tell. I've not seen any problems with this. Perhaps the description listed here belongs to another model?

If you're asking about the exhaust vent that goes out the window, yes, it comes with the unit. I had to buy an extra extension piece because the window it was exhausting out of was a tall window.

No, you need to use it in a well ventalated space. As the pump pulls a vaccum - the exhaust has a fine mist of oil vaper. Vent it to the outside. LP

The exit exhaust blows VERY hot air out. I don't think it would work, the air exiting is much hotter than the machine is cooling. I bought 6 of these, meant to only buy three and had a nightmare with the vendor. See my review before buying. Also, the unit does not cool nearly as well as the description says. It seems to get a SMALL room down to about 73 but no further. A big size room it is marginal at best.
