Does it have to be placed near a window

To utilize the included vent kit, it would need to placed within four feet or so of a window. Even if you are going to rig up your own ventilation system, it still requires the ability to vent into a space that is not being conditioned/dehumidified.

Yes it does. A sliding or French door will work too if you are willing to do some adjustments.

Yes. I would position it to project towards a window but you don't want it in direct view if someone were to look through your windows. We have mini binds; we have them open slightly at the top and it can easily be see from the road.

Somewhat. If a home is lined with radiant barrier or other metallic insulating material it will not work. Near a window allows it to function some.

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.

Yes. If window too dirty, suction won't work so clean small area within reach to get it going. Use suction cup!

I have not attached my to any dash or window. I believe you can attached it to the dash or window.

Yes it does... Perfectly! We leave ours near a window all the time, so it is always ready. We LOVE ours and bought 2 more at Christmas, as gifts to your adult kids!

Mine is placed on a vinyl window and it works great. I have not had any problems with it coming off.

It is not tacked on. Use Velcro strips (male portion) glued or sewn on to fabric of the area surrounding the window.

It depends you will need a speaker bracket. A speaker adapter. Because the window could hit it.

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.

In my window, yes. My window is shallow bay and has about 6 inches. Really depends on the depth of your window.

It fits inside the window so you can close the window in front of it. At least that is how I used it in a standard double hung window. Once it was installed it didn't come out until we moved.

I agree with Cypress station. Between the door and frame(roof), yes. Then the window is not an issue. I would not try to run the strap between the window and door.

A glass window should not impede the signal. A metal screen or frame might interfere but it would have to be substantial.

There is no reason it couldn't be placed outside a window for short periods but I'd recommend only doing it while it's in use. It is not weatherproof so any moisture could harm it. Also, sun for prolonged periods of time will deteriorate the plastic and make it brittle. I use mine at work and place it in the inside corner of our storefront window and it works fantastic. I'm using it now! I also have used it in my car. My point being that the window glass seems to have no adverse effect on signal strength so if you can, just mount it inside.
