do I really need a venting hose?

That would depend on whether you like warm moist air in the room where your dryer is located. I live in the southeast and we have enough humidity this time of year and beyond that I don't want any more steamy air in my room. I open the window just enough for the venting hose to rest between the sill and the bottom of the open window. I put an old large beach towel next to the venting hose to keep hot air from getting inside. I would also expect that, over time, you might get some mildew if you don't vent at all. I do not like the tub vent kit since it's difficult for my arthritic hands to put the top and bottom together. There's definite room for improvement here, Panda!

No vent, but the cover doesn't fit very tight so steam escapes at very low pressure.

It only requires one hose for the exhaust. One is the intake that doesn't require a hose to be hooked up to it.

This unit is mounted outside the building so does not require additional venting other than what is right in the unit. There are also some units that are mounted inside the building, and those do require a vent to the outside.

It does not need to be vented outside per say. It can be ran in a closed room. However it is much more efficient when it's venting outside.

Yes it does need to be ventilated but it only takes me about 5 minutes to do that . All your doing is running a hose out the window .

Hi Travis, I don't use the hose right now. I work exclusively with Acrylics, and the filter works great to eliminate fumes and overspray. I will be working in a basement eventually, and I doubt I will ever use the hose. But, if you use enamels or paints with toxic fumes, it would be much more important to vent the spray booth out a window or under a door. This would be especially true if you have an open heat source, such as a kerosene heater or ventless gas heater.

No you have to have your own hose. I know you can find package deals at places like 5starhookah.comBut I'm not sure they have upgraded to selling the new version with their deals.

Yes this unit does need to vent outside -- it comes with a plastic tube that I use to vent it to a window around 4' off the ground. It blows all the hot air outside, so I cannot see how it could be used without a window nearby. The moisture pulled in by the unit feeds out through a small tube at the bottom of the unit that I drain every few days (inside). This is separate from the hot air that needs to vent outside.

Nope, like Jim said, you're going to need a nammor hose. From my experience they're the best hoses anyway.

Yes. You have to vent this through a window or place a hole in the wall, going to the outside. The hose blows very hot air, when the compressor is on, cooling the space down. Once it reaches your desired temperature, the compressor simply blows cool air from the vents and the hose. This is an excellent AC unit. I hope this has helped you in some way.

yes. The window kit is necessary and is provided. Includes a tiny water exhaust line, but some drainage from a bottom outlet is still required occasionally. . . i.e. it does not seem to exhaust all condensation through the tiny condensation exhaust hose so some manual draining is necessary.

No. Seems like your basic hose set-up. Have not used yet. Hoping to do some diving this weekend. Seems like a good set for the $.

no. This is not need for this unit. Unit mount on the outside of house and is self vented.

Always vent a little. Have a professional do the install unless you already have prepared gas outlet.

All Air Conditioners need to be vented as far as I know. Otherwise hot air will just blow out into the room and negate the cool air flowing out. This one in particular though has a hose out the back to be vented out a window.

Yes there is just one hose that vents to the outside. You can go to the Honeywell website and download the owner's manual which goes over all the installation particulars.
