Thanks, They are very good air conditioners. And whenever we leave we just take it out of the window. Pop it back in when we get home. It has a lot of air flow and is really cold. Cools the room down fast.

I just bought one ... I don't like that you have to move that thing to a draining area .. I really don't know how frequent you have to drain the a/c unit; it will not work for me if it's every 24 hours ...

It keeps you from dragging the machine around to drain it. Andmit seems to work really well. And when I emptymthe jug I just empty on my outside potted plants

"not good" ... still have to monitor the jug; better to let the portable a/c alert you with 8 beeps to empty... better way is to use a sump pump to suck it out the same window which means you will have to drill a hole into the panel that's provided.

@@samsno3667 I use the jug, BUT I recently found that in high humidity, that jug fills up faster than expected so I had to place a plastic pan beneath it to catch any possible overflow. IMO, the jug is still a great solution because wheeling and lifting this hefty machine to the bathroom to drain the tanks would get old really fast.

@@jmorv8866 I've been testing the 6000 btu model and in my area right now there wasn't much water condensation after one day. But did notice the fact that when I unplug the rubber stop, you get water coming out onto the floor before you can put and align the hose. It will get old soon as you so state. I swapped out the 6000 btu for the 8000 btu because it wasn't cooling enough nor fast enough for the small space I have in the "sun room". The room really gets hot if I lift the shades up... so they've been down. Even at 8000 btu ... it's "okay", may have to go even bigger. I love the wifi app and that I will require as my house is rented to seasonal vacationers so that I can monitor the heat in that particular room. My nephew says there are "portables" that has the condensation pump and/or evaporating features so I am looking into that also. The 8000 btu cost me about $400 and the 6000 btu cost me $320... not much difference but certainly will probably go up to a higher btu version as I have time to "turn it in".

you could it is gravity flow so must go downwards.

We can fill up a gallon jug in 8 hours. So we need to! It all depends on the humidity. One day we get half a gallon. When it gets cloudy we can get over 2 gallons a day.

with the hose on the upper. The bottom tank stays empty. If you dont use the hose then both tanks will fill.

@davesbackyardchickensandou3905 thanks, I just bought this but haven't set it up yet.

@@PaulMeyette I really like them. Make it a habit to check the water. Some days will put out very little. And other days you can get 2 gallons. Depending on humidity.

No we live in an arid region. Yes there is 2 settings. I realized it the next summer and we barely got any water. Weeks to even get a little in the jug.

@@davesbackyardchickensandou3905 Thank you for reply! I'll just go with the cool mode and hope for minimum water! *Thank you for posting the helpful video!* ____

@@davesbackyardchickensandou3905 arid means dry .. in FL ... that's another story ... very very humid in the Gulf ...

i always leave it standing up. The hose was a new one and i also cut it right after the video. It was a spur of the moment thing. Just put the clean new hose on. Then thought I should shoot a video. So no I don't leave it on its side. Thanks. We are on the third year for this machine and its still working great.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I put on the two pieces that came with it on the ends of the Exhaust Tubing. One end hooks to the back of the air conditioner where the hot air comes out. The other you put in the window so the hot air is pushed outside. It has to exhaust outside the house or apartment. And the cold air comes out the top of the machine.

@@davesbackyardchickensandou3905 no because it switches to a different mode where it’s basically a fan and I don’t know how to change it back

@Sir_hufflepuff I'm gonna shoot a little video and post it. So look at my channel and I will just have posted a video on it. Make sure you comment on it and then I'll take the video down after you see it.

@@Sir_hufflepuff I just set mine up this evening; big hose is the exhaust that hooks up from the back and goes out the window which is hot air. The cold air comes out from the top of the portable a/c unit. You set which functionality by selecting the "mode" button and or using the app on your phone. Mine is working BUT I needed to clarify about the drain hose for the water which you need to empty out ever so often. More importantly, the unit will throw out a P1 code which tells you to empty the a/c. Until you empty the a/c of the water and then the P1 code will disappear, then the a/c will cool again... repeat if you have to...

Interesting! mine needed a 5/8 inch inside diameter hose. And my window is higher then the unit. Wont make it up and out, Its gravity drained.

@@davesbackyardchickensandou3905 I'm Srry 5/8th ya right and true because it's too low to drain right ? We'll I just bought a 4 ft stand set it right on top it's heavyyyyyy but got her up high now the water drain right out the window ! It's worth it bro buy one an no more water problems

@DJFRESHTV817 that's a great idea! I will look for a little stand. Thanks

@@davesbackyardchickensandou3905 I had trouble cuz the unit wasn't high enough to drain dwn property so just watch got that

@@davesbackyardchickensandou3905 5/8 ... and it's gravity fed ... so the a/c has to higher then where the tube goes out the window.

Freon, and it works great. The reason it produces so much water is i had it set on dehumidify. Doesn't leek all that water if its set just on cool.

You can put a hole in the wall or something to make it drain outside. But no the water just strips out that tube so you have to put a bucket or something underneath of it. And it just sits in the window I just take mine in and out. The main body of the air conditioner sits inside your house. It's only the tube that goes to the window.

5/8 inside diameter!

No

@@davesbackyardchickensandou3905 it does on mine ..

I think its 1/2 inch inside diameter

I water my plants with it. Or put it down the sink if you don't have plants to water.

@@davesbackyardchickensandou3905 I thought the water isn't ideal for drinking nor for plants... I can understand consumption issue but should be ok for plants... (I think) as I read that it's not ok either case..

Yep

In the winter I just pull it out and put it in my shed. I remove it out of the window every day when I go to work only takes ten seconds. And no I gotta overhang on my roof that keeps sending water from running on that. But the piece that goes in the window comes right out for bad weather outside. So I pull mine out every time I go anywhere or anything so I don't leave it in all day. And it puts out lots of cold air I really like it.

but the rain is in question ... I was also hoping that a bug screen for the window part of the exhaust; afraid bugs will drop right into it when it's not blowing .. like water/rain ...

@bryansmith7765 that would be to tall I think! Might work though!

It is really nice. With the window attachment, east to move to other rooms. And it puts out really cold air.
