does this unit need an open window

Yes all evaporative coolers need a window to be opened at least a few inches. It is free standing, though. It doesn't need venting like an air conditioner.

No. This is not an A.C. unit. It has a 5 gallon tank that fills with water. You can either hook it to a hose or fill it manually. the only issue that I had with mine is that it does tend to leak sometimes. It is not a good idea to use it indoors with carpet or laminate flooring. It is better to use it in a garage where leaking is not an issue.

Yes, a cracked window (or two) nearby is necessary for an evap cooler to work properly.

You need an open window to vent the air conditioner. There is a tube that attaches to the back of the unit and you stick it out the window so the air conditioner can blow out the hot air it sucks up and generates.

No, it does not. It stays hot for sixty minutes after it heats up though, so I don't usually miss the window.

Neither. This is a room to room unit, however it does need to exhaust through a slot in the window. It has a hose and frame for this purpose. Easy to install or remove and the unitworks good.

The unit does have a button. The large grey square panel on the top is the open - close button.

You can keep your window screened. The vent doesn't go much farther than the window. I love this unit. It's small but cools very well and it's easy to set up.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. Because I have crank open windows, I wasn't able to vent the unit through a window. I opted to drill a hole through an exterior wall for the vent and placed a dryer vent on the outside for the connection.

Yes, you can leave a window open, and even close it after arming it. It will only trigger when the sensors are separated....not when the are put together.

We do have a window in the room where the warm air vents. From the outside of our house you really can't see the vent. Overall, I would not recommend this unit - it is big and clunky and difficult to drain the water from (which happens often) and for its large size it only cools the master bedroom and not even really the adjoining master bathroom.

Depends......the entire unit is made of a heavy material that make it impossible to see in or out......however the front and side windows have flaps that can be folded down to let fresh air in......which can be seen through from inside to outside.....and if opened at night.....can be seen through from the outside into the RV I love mine

No! The way this blind is designed, there is no need for vents or openings in the top because the windows on all four sides zip open at the top. There is and can be more ventilation in this blind than anyone could possibly need.

No, but I would seriously consider a window a/c. This does not cool effectively and my electric bill went up more than three times prior years running a window a/c 24/7

You don't leave a window open unless of course you want to a bit. This machine puts humidity in the air while washing the water as it cycles through catching small particles of dust. It is a humidifier not a air cooler.

I just opened the top window and put the unit on the sill and closed the window with the lip behind the pane of window and plugged it in and enjoyed a cool summer. I don't see a need for a mount of any sort.

yes you have to open the window. there is a 8-10 inch high panel that fits in the window and you attach the exhaust pipe to that. When you close the window, it holds the panel in place (not perfectly). you should check out Home Depot -- I was there recently and saw they have newer LG models -- smaller , sleeker and cheaper.

I dont have a door/window alarm, but I dont see why you have to buy a separate receiver. You have up to four zones, so you would just set up the door or window detector to anyone of those you have open.

I would have a fan going and windows or the door open. It does have an odor, but if you ventilate the room it's fine.
