Does this unit have the option to bring outside air in, just in case it's a cool summer night and you don't want to run the A/C?

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.
877995
Yes, the unit has FAN ONLY option. Keep in mind that vents are facing upward.

It has an economy mode, fan only mode, and cooling mode, but I don't see anything that indicates it can mix air from outside in any way. I did notice it is very quiet inside, and a little noisier outside. Not as many BTUs as some units, but great for a smaller space. So far, it's smaller outside "footprint" hasn't attracted my HOA, like a bigger unit did a couple years ago.

yes unit has a fan optionthis unit is very compact,controls laid out well and very quiet!!
877998
No, it doesn't have that option. You can use fan mode but it doesn't bring in outside air.

I don't think that this A/C unit will operate this way, but I'm not 100% certain about this. I believe that the outside and inside air can't mix, but I'm a little unsure about this, since there is a filter of some sort. (Our filter light came on after a few weeks of use, by the way, but I haven't yet figured out how to change this or even if this is critical.)I think that the "fan only" mode merely draws room air through the unit without any cooling.

No. It does not. If you want to choose, use a manually operated one against the battery operated one. I think there is one available from Coleman. It is cheap and does the job. It has both option in it - to pump air inside and to suck air outside.

Yes.I purchased the thermostat.I to live in fla.the unit runs all day in the summertime. The thermostat gets used in the other seasons when it's not so hot.

I believe so, my neighbor put his aroud the air conditioning unit on the sun side of his house and has had it for three years and counting ,thats NY summer and extreme winterand ther's been no problem.. Hope I helped you, and those air units get super hot like triple didgets!!!

Yes, two options to connect to vent outside or just vent air through filter.

Yes it does. Unlike the Penguino Portable A/C units that vents the condensation through the exhaust, you need to drain it daily or also run a drain hose for it.

We do have a window in the room where the warm air vents. From the outside of our house you really can't see the vent. Overall, I would not recommend this unit - it is big and clunky and difficult to drain the water from (which happens often) and for its large size it only cools the master bedroom and not even really the adjoining master bathroom.

That little white tab that pull out, don't. It makes no sense. It allows very little out side air to come in. Makes the a/c less efficient when the a/c is working. Plus, insects can come through it. The picture only trying to show you how it works, it only opens so far. It's only an options for outside air, but if you leave it open while using the a/c instead of just the fan, then your a/c will not cool your place as well and you'll use more electricity.

Yes, all air conditioners require a way to vent the hot air they create otherwise there would be no net cooling effect.

When you set the A/C on for cool air, it vents(pulls) the hot air from inside and blows cooled air from the outside. If you turn the unit on in the fan only setting, it will blow(normal, ambient) air from the outside without venting(pulling) the air from inside the room. If you only want ambient outside air, the fan only setting will do that, but won't recycle the air like it would if you set the unit to cool the room. Good luck.

No for the fan alone. But it does have options for System: Cool, Heat, Em(ergency) Heat, Auto and Off. So if you don't want the fan to run, you'll need to turn the system off.

Yes. It's noisy when air moves through with the unit off, when it's windy outside. It's probably best to use an outside vent cover that has a good built in flap.
1574797
No. This is just a fan, not an air conditioner. It blows the air that is in the room around and works the same way every other fan works.
1972834
It has to vent to the outside to work as an air conditioning unit. If there is an accessory that would accomplish this, then yes.
1995733
unit does have a fan only position but does not push a lot of air, would help in small space but I believe their are better options available for cooling. I did just buy this heater this winter though so have not tried it in this type of situation.
2137237
Yes it does! Even comes with foam should you wish to use it in the window. It's a bit loud, I'd say maybe 25% more than a normal AC unit.

YES - this unit has to be vented to the outside by using a hose connected to the window kit. I do not know of any portable air conditioning units that are standalone by not using an exhaust to the outside. I am happy with this unit and would purchase another one.
