does this unit have to go in a window

Do you have a picture of the exhaust hose panel? I am trying to figure out if there is a way if the tube is tiny enough to leave part of the window slightly open or if it is too big and if so what alternatives exist?

No, it's on rollers and sits in front of a window. Comes with an exhaust plate and extenders that fit into casement or slider windows. Also has an exhaust tube from back of unit to the window. Very easy to put together.

not the unit itself, but only the exhaust hose panel, which takes up much less space than a full air conditioner would, and is also much easier to get into a window.

The unit itself does not. The exhaust tube that comes off the back does however. It needs somewhere for the heat and moisture it pulls from the air to go.

I have mine Inside with my window hold it in place. So it all depends on how your windows are built, not all windows are the same.

You need to vent it outside so the hot air has somewhere to go. A window is the easiest.

I would say no . You would need a corner piece to come up the wall to the window unit .you might've able to join 2 vent kits together to do it

This unit needs to go outside. You can get other units that can go inside but they do require additional venting

If it's not vented you'll be throwing the hot air back into the room defeating the purpose of this AC unit. This unit blows the hot air out the back of the unit ( like most portable AC units). You don't need a window, but you defiantly need to vent the hot air out of the room you're trying to cool. The unit comes with a hose and I cant recall exactly how far it can extend but you would want to run that hose so the hot air is expelled from the room your trying to cool. It may be more expensive, but you might want to look at a ductless AC system if you don't have windows in that room. Either that or cut a hole in the wall so the AC unit can vent out the hot air.

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 I does. It comes with a venting kit for your window with the unit. Easy to install! Unit is great for a bedroom!

Yes, it does need to have access to w window. I've never heard of one that does not need some way to exhaust the hot air it produces. Would love to hear if you find one. Good luck!

Yes, this unit requires an exhaust through a window. I'm not aware of any non-exhausting portable a/c. Good luck.

Yes this unit needs to vent outside a window. However this unit is super easy to hookup.

Installed from inside the room in a window, yes. And its,very simple to install, lightweight too

Seems like you've answered your own question. Yes, you should be get the unit into that size window without the side curtains. Will probably have to fabricate your own weather proofing for the sides.

mine is in a window. i do not see why it couldn't go in a wall, depending on the depth of the unit of course.

Yes. It must be vented to the outside and the kit it comes with is meant to vent it through a window.

You need to make sure the unit is slightly slanted downwards outside of the window. If the unit is level with the window or even tipping up you will cause water to leak into the room and the unit will not function properly.

It's a window unit. Exhaust side needs to be properly ventilated to the outside.
