I found the manual at this link which probably answers everybody's questions about the product. http://cache.air-n-water.com/manuals/avalon-bay-ab8k.pdf

The vent is not a problem, provided it can vent, the top does get hot - leaving things on top of the oven, while it is in use, is a mistake to be avoided.

It is a completely sealed maintenance free battery so you don't need it to be vented. It isn't like a standard lead acid battery which is why you need the vent. You will be fine to put this in.

Yes, the unit has to vented outside, heat air can go outside through the hose. the hose connect the machine and window kits. It is easy to setup. Thanks for your question.

No. I would not because of the venting. I think they do have a model that vents to the outside. You have to be careful of carbon monoxide. Also I am sure there is a fire hazard as this unit gets hot. But outside it works great.

yes, it does need venting to an existing flu or can be vented thru wall. Best to go to serenity website and read on-line manual before you buy. Venting kit runs little over $200 at Amazon.

Yes, unfortunately. I bought this unit for an office without a window and was disappointed to find it needs to be vented, and the vent hose itself is rather obtrusive.

The Ge installation instructions do require venting of this unit. The preferred option is via a damper to the outside but it can also be vented thru a window. Please call Goedekers at 888-768-1710 if you have any other questions and we will be happy to help Melanie with Goedekers

This unit does need to be vented outside but it doesn't need any other drainage. The vent is just to bring fresh air into the unit.

Yes they are all vented and do not offer the same one non vented. I would recommend the Chill Out and About

Not at all. No venting necessary. Just keep a window or two, cracked open a couple of inches.

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

The unit does not need to be vented, but does draw 12 volts of electricity and it's just generally not wise to have high voltage items near water. That said - let wisdom be thy guide, I like to use mine by my hot tub in the winter and we're just careful to keep it far enough away that it won't tip over into the water.

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.

Hi Diana, yes, the unit has to be vented outside the area you are trying to cool off. It comes with the materials to vent the unit outside a window. If the office you have has a dropped ceiling you maybe able to vent into the space above your office space. I did that, vented exhaust into roof space.
