Thank you so much! It was 108 degrees outside in the middle of a heat wave and my house doesn’t have AC! It was so hot and I was worried about my pets overheating and I was so hot myself and you saved me from a total breakdown haha. So quick and easy. I appreciate you so much!!

Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! kzfaq.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

Thank you Just A Dad! I don't have a father and have wanted to install one of these for a while. Air is blowing cold! 😊 Tip: It is easy to connect the hose connector to the window slider if you keep the top of the window open and use your hand to click the slider against the hose connector (instead of trying to push from the hose side, push on the other side of the slider.) Easy as air conditioner pie!

I just bought the 10,000 BTU unit. I set it up correctly and tried it for about two weeks, after the initial 3 minute compressor delay, the cool air starts blowing. The cool air only blows for about 10-20 minutes, and then the compressor shuts down for some reason and the compressor wont turn back on for hours until I turn the unit on/off again. I was given advice to see if my house had the proper amperage or something? Do you have any ideas as to what may be the issue? It’s almost as if the compressor overheats and turns itself off but isn’t able to come back on unless i restart the unit. Thanks !

@jmarkrof Жыл бұрын

Classic thermodynamics question. You're better off with a regular fan in this case. If you don't exhaust the exhaust air out of the room you are trying to cool then the room will actually get hotter and you'll just be wasting energy.

@@justadadtips thanks. I put it on the plastic as that made the most sense as not to have sticky stuff on my windows since I’ll be removing this in a month or so but so far it’s not working well this way. It is falling out of the window as the weight of the hose will periodically pull the top down and out of the window. I used duck tape and it’s still happening. Sigh :)

@@s.d.crockett486 I know this is 7 months late (sorry) but instructions say to stick it to the window sill. Also, I got the slider width first, and locked it, then it was already almost stable, then took slider out and put the strips on the window sill, and then put slider back, so the strips are really gripping it. Definitely takes away some of that "portability" aspect though 😂

Nothing I have found looks close enough that I want to risk purchasing without being sure.

You installed the plastic that is going to the windows the wrong way. Lol. That’s why you had to cut it. Saying it’s to wide. No the plastic you have is backward. Flip it around. The plastic lip is suppose to be facing you. That’s why it hard to get the vent piece to fit on. Lol. That’s why it’s not secure you have the plastic the wrong way.

@shanesweeney8516 Жыл бұрын

Lol. So, this is common sense. The plastic that goes into the window. How are you putting the screws on? The plastic slide on the side with the lip part is supposed to be inside the house not going outside. The side with the lip facing you inside that is the correct way. You should not be cutting that part at all. The reason you say it is too wide is that you have it facing the wrong direction.
