Does this AC have to be installed in or near window or can you put it anywhere in a room?

It would need to be close to a window for ventilation. Its suggested to be no more then 4 feet away from the vent source.

Any window air conditioner can be installed in a casement window as long as the window opens up wide enough for it to fit. Specific "casement" type AC units are overpriced and usually have poor efficiency, so I really don't recommend them. I have the previous model and built a frame out of cheap 2x4 lumber to hold the AC in the window (filled the top opening with acrylic). Some of my neighbors just screwed the frame directly to their window track and filled the top gap with acrylic.

The manufacturer recommends that you don't, I think either for safety reasons having to do with the heat of the exhaust tube, or for performance reasons, or both. I had to change the installation location of my unit for this reason. However I can say that this is a great AC and I'm very happy with it all around. Performs very well, not too loud, blows very cold air, keeps my 450 sq ft studio in Brooklyn cool throughout summer. Tips: 1) use fans to help circulate the cool air around your space, particularly to push it into adjacent rooms that don't have their own AC; 2) switch ceiling fan(s) to the reverse (blowing up rather than down) position, so as to push the cool air up and flush out the hot air at the top of the room; and 3) don't turn the unit off when you're out, just turn the temperature up - it's more efficient than letting the space heat up and then having to cool it down completely each day.

You can install it anywhere that there is space for the bulb. But it is recommended that you put it right outside the blower unit, at the distribution box.

The way we have it installed there is a separate wired control knob that we installed that can be placed anywhere you want it. We also installed a thermostat that will cut the fan on at the desired temperature. We love the fan and we are able to move our air conditioned exterior wall room to an interior only wall room without any ductwork. It works great!

You can install in a recessed area as long as there is enough clearance top bottom and each side as per the install specs, otherwise you need to install the indoor model and put a vent on it... hope this helps

You asked question loooong time ago, hopefully you have answered yourself. Unit should not be in direct path of cool air, otherwise temp setting can be adjusted for location. Mine is only 5' away but on the other side of a wall that blocks direct airflow.

Placed in a window it should do the trick. We also use ours to blow ac air from one room to another. Vornado fans are very sturdy.

No. This unit should be placed indoors or in an area not exposed to the elements.

No, you do not. It simply slips into the window opening. However, I have now had my unit for 2 years and I have noticed a severe drop off in cooling power so I would look at another model if I were you.

No it is ment to be placed in an interior wall between two rooms. It brings air from a room that is air conditioned to one that is not.

I use it in a window. I believe it can be used as a wall unit, but I have no direct experience with that.

I have it placed by a window where I get a nice breeze so the air blowing in is cool and works nicely, from early evening to mid-morning. However it is not an air conditioner so if the room is hot it just slightly cools things down. I still love it!

All depends of the size of the rooms and remember AC does not normally go around corners. Depends a lot on location of the unit ! Central air would help!!

You don't need to install anything. The exhaust pipe is a short plastic pipe, but the air flow is not too strong. I have it in my kitchen and while it does warm up the area, it's not too bad and I never felt like I need to direct the airflow through the window.

This unit CAN NOT be located inside any building for many reasons. One being the exhaust and two being that the unit needs 'free' air to cool itself during run. Also any modification to the exhaust on this unit, including extension would fully void the warranty.

I don't see any reason you couldn't use it in a window AC. I bought the one I had for a air purifier, but the material is thin enough that you could cut to fit in front of a AC Filter and get the added benefits from it
