Do we need exhaust hose? My plan is just having water in the container (probably in the inside as it is portable) and throwing it everyday. Is it OK?

Yes, you will need the hose. The unit uses it for the heat exchange. It expels the hot moist air out of the hose. The hose that comes with the unit is pretty short; you may want to purchase a longer hose if you want to place the unit more than a couple of feet from a window. The unit that we use at work (different make and model--but basically the same thing) has an extremely long hose and seems to work just as well as the unit i have in my home. Hope this helps. Cheers!

No hose needed. Container in bottom is large enough to hold a day or two's worth of water. I've used this machine for six years without any trouble. Last summer, a recall was put out because a couple of units had caught fire. I still use mine and it is just fine. I only run it when I'm home now, but I still highly recommend it!

You will need an exhaust hose. Hot air blows out of the exhaust port and would just go back into your room, defeating the whole purpose of the air conditioner.

Yes, you definitely need to vent it outside. It comes with two hoses about six inch diameter each.

The manual states, "Use only outdoors." That might be because, "the exhaust gas and top of the unit is HOT!" The exhaust fumes might be an issue. But, I think you could safely mount the unit outside and just run the hose that connects to the shower head through a window. I would personally be totally okay with and feel quite safe doing that. Hope that helps!

It must be vented. For an inside version, use B vent and follow your local building regulations. In our county, stainless vent pipe is not required.

It is required to be OUTSIDE. The Exhaust from natural gas is pretty clean, yet toxic and being so cleaned you won't noticed you are being poisoned. KEEP IT OUTSIDE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD IT BE IN A GARAGE. I am not yelling, I am just making sure you get it. The plastic is pretty durable, but if you want to extend its life, put a vinyl fence around it for shade. Just make sure to leave enough space to breath and exhaust as well as to do maintenance. Also make sure you instal it with plenty of clearance from the house. At least 3 ft, but check the local code.

I placed mine in my pool house and vented it to the outside along with the drain hose. Not sure if it definitely needs it but I felt better by venting the unit.

Unless you are prepared to empty the drain nearly every day, you will need the water exhaust hose to be piped out- this can be done through a simple pvc pipe through the house wall or floor. I live in an area with 90% humidity nearly all the time, your emptying needs may be different than my own. You definitely need the ventilation exhaust hose, it simply goes out the window. It's a great machine and I couldn't be happier with this brand & model- tried several others previously. This one has the best customer service and shipping- other brands didn't package the product well and they were damaged.

Nope, no hose. I thought it would need one, and I have seen people that have added a piece of hose, but the water shoots out far enough to clear my boat. I didn't see any reason to add the hose that I would probably lose anyway.

No hose included. You only need a hose if you put it under the house or in a basement where you can't monitor it. The container is easy to empty.

This unit will only work properly if you vent the air outside. If you can stick the hose out of a door while it runs it will work wonderfully! The hose Is not very long (maybe 4'-5' max) so make sure you have a good place to put it. Also, you will need to drain the water it collects every so often unless you plan on running continous then you can run the drain line to a sink or outside. This unit has run like a champ for me so far. Hope this Helps!

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

Yes. Plug hose into exhaust port and you are good to go. It will not be as powerful as a dedicated unit but will work for light job e.g sawdust. I carry this on my airsteam and it works geat.

For both questions: sure!(1) The water bucket uses fairly small diameter hoses, and you might need an adapter to connect the hose to some kind of wand (so you don't have to crawl on your knees to pick up stuff on the floor).(2) If you can connect the hose to your sander outlet, it would work fine. Also, that's a good idea, thanks.You will need ear protection no matter how you use it, the small corrugated hose "whistles", very loudly, at a very high and annoying frequency. It is harmfully loud.

I think you should take the money you were going to spend on the exhaust and open up a worm farm. Call it "iv got worms" I hope my answer aided in your time of need thank you and praise buddah - proffesor papageorgio

Yes the unit needs to vent outside. The hose a about 6" diameter flex vent. Unit works great.

To use it as an an air condioner, you do need to run the hose to the outside. Hot air is vented out thru the hose, and cold air comes out of the vent into the room. When using as a dehumidifier, the exhaust hose does not need to vent outside, but you will get no cooling.

you just put it inline with the hose attached to your filter intake.. I use mine in line with a leaf canister that has a skimmer sock in it.. this catches fine dirt and debris so they don't go into my sand filter.. when you're done you just rinse the sock off..
