How am I supposed to install the vent into a window? The window sill gets in the way of the big round hose.

It has a window installation kit which you place between the window and the sill. Similar to how a window unit has accordion style sliders to fill the gaps between the AC unit and the sides of the window. Google search "portable AC window installation kit" for a better idea.

There is a vent hose that exhausts the heated air to the outdoors -- this can be either in a window, or thru the wall, similar to a clothes dryer vent.

I didn't have a window that would work so got a longer hose that is insulated and stuffed it into the duct in the bedroom. It's not the prettiest but it is working.

Don't know if you still need an answer, but yes, you can turn the vent on end and use it in horizontal windows as well. There's a flat panel with a hole in it for the hose to go out. Depending on the height of your windows, you might need something to block any open space - the panel isn't huge, built more for regular vertical windows. I've used it in a regular window with the screen in place, no problem (although you'll want to wash the screen when you remove the unit for the year - it gets a little fuzzy circle where the air blows out. I've had this unit for a year and LOVE it, great for a room or two, or a small apartment. Doesn't raise my electric bill through the roof either.

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

You will need a window or at least a place where you can put hose for exhaust

in my house i ran the vent threw the floor--however this my not be possible to do in every case--i would suggest going to hardware store and getting enough flexible dryer hose to reach the nearest window--hope this might help

It comes with a 4 inch diameter hose that connects to the back on the unit and out the window. The hose has an adapter that you place in the bottom of of the window sill. You close the window down to the adapter. Your window is only open approx 4 to 5 inches. This exhausts the warm air and humidity to the outside. It is very simple to install and requires no tools. I had my unit up and running in less than ten minutes. I am very satisfied. Also unless you are really looking for it it is not noticeable from the outside.

The unit needs to be installed about 10" from the wall below the window.The exhaust tube exits on the back of the unit and though a flexible hose up to your window. You might need to add to the exhaust fitting to get it to fit your window.The humidity that is collected needs to be expelled, or emptied. The water out port is low to the floor so a drip pan is too shallow. We attached a clear plastic tube to run out of our patio door. We had good use of this unit. I would purchase another. Ours did not leak and I felt relatively quite.

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.

Your unit should be vented to the outside in some manor. What I did wa make a partition that I could vent through and close the window or screen on it. I also sealed it with aluminum tape. (bought at Home Depot or an Auto parts store.)

It will work both ways. Vent comes set up to work inside but (in my case) I converteed it to vent outside. Easly done. H.

It should be installed somewhere inbetween the exaust fan and the thing you see outside. I bought thiss to stop cold air from coming into the dryer. Works better than the vents that are normaly outside which you would keep. If you really want to stop the air completely (which I did) then you'll have to doctor this up a little bit. A Flood Light doesn't even penitrate mine after. It works great now

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

You attach hose to container and concentration depends on how long you wet particular window. It comes out pretty soapy.

There are two different versions of this, one with springloaded clips you push back and one with solid plastic clips you need to twist open. Don't do what my wife did with hers and yank it out because pieces of the vent may come too.

No holes needed. The ends of the fan fit into the grooves of the window. It also has on the top some tabs that go behind and in front of the lowered window which also help keep it in place. I also add some of that foam rubber that is made to insulate window AC units. I also found that the grille of the fan had pretty big spaces and allowed bugs and flies to get in so I buy extra large panty hose at the 99cent store and slip a leg over the fan. It works perfectly, keeping the bugs out and I just change it every month or so as it also ends up being a bit of an air filter too.
