Is it easy to install and remove the exhaust tube from window? I only want to use it at night and would like to open window during the day. Thanks.

That was my intention too but the unit is bulky and clumsy to vent out and I would not recommend it for this purpose.

Yes, you can do that. I do that. The only thing you sacrifice, and to me it's not much, is that a vacuum seal is actually created when one uses the tape to carefully seal the panel into the window. Removing it every day will probably mean that you won't want to use the tape to "seal" the panel into the window, in which a very slight amount of heat may pass inside. Hardly a big deal, IMHO.

I don't think it's very easy. I just leave mine hooked up year round and cover it with a blanket during the winter.

I would say no I ended up getting screens that were made of pets and just doubled the screen in the window, didn't seem to block airflow to much and you can't really see in during the day, night time its the opposite you can see in as the light changes but I find that to be the case with almost any privacy DIY things I've tried ...good luck

I have screens on my windows which I had to remove to install the vent tube. The tube is oblong approx.. 3in wide to 5in length. You'll either have to remove the blinds or lift them up. I installed the tube on a particle board and had to block the entire window (it pushes out not up). If your window pushes up you will need to block the remaining space by using the window installer section. You could probably stretch the blinds to shove the tube thru.

I would be happy if I were you. That window breaker thingy is completely useless, and has a tendency to scratch everything. I was thinking about removing it myself, but did not because I assumed it would be hard to. I'll give it a try now.

No you don't have to have the exhaust delete done, in the tuner you would just select no to that.... But I would recommend doing it, makes a big difference. FYI this "race tuner" is just a jail broken XRT street which allows you to do the race mods. I was a little disappointed when I gave the serial number to H&S; and they told me it was actually the street tuner. Hope this helps

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.

It is one piece so you have to install the whole thing. You can zip up the back area and roll it up just like you can roll up the soft top back window. Even thought it is one piece you can install it and also have the soft top on at the same time. That way you can take off the side windows and still have the net in place. I usually keep both on all summer, like you said when the sun is too hot I like to have the top up, but take it down in the evening.

Very easy. There is a gap under the front cover, pull it and it comes off. After the front cover is removed you can clean dust or access the two intake fans.

There is no exhaust pipe and no window kit is needed. Unlike portable air conditioners that need to release the hot air from the unit by using an exhaust pipe and window kit, the Honeywell air cooler doesnt. It is built to just cool the hot air. I have had a portable air conditioner before and I prefer the Honeywell air cooler.

My experience with window fans is they don't help that much during the day when the outside air is hot but they are great at night when the temperature drops. You can run them on exhaust to push out the hot air from your room and then switch to regular mode to bring in the cooler night time air.

Yes I does. It comes with a venting kit for your window with the unit. Easy to install! Unit is great for a bedroom!

I installed it on my sisters 2003 Vibe 2 wheel drive. The stock exhaust is a solid welded piece from front to back. Use an electric saw to cut out the old catalytic assembly. Then put the new cat pipe with a muffler clamp. I did have trouble fitting the new cat pipe over the stock exhaust where I made the cut. It seems that Magnaflow didnt expand the end of their cat pipe (where it fits over the stock exhaust) wide enough. It just wouldnt slip on easily.

You just remove the window/hose unit from one window and install in another. It's not a permanent install. If there is any condensation, it goes out through the hose. We used it all summer and never had any problems. We didn't use the unit as a dehumidifier, so I don't have any info on that.

You'll need some way to vent the exhaust. If you have drop ceilings you might be able to vent it up into the ceiling.

you can leave the screen on the window or remove it, if you want, all the port is for is for the exhaust(hot air exit). The intakes is on the side of the unit which has filters built in so bugs can't enter unless the filter is off.

The window kit vents the exhaust hot air . I would not use without installing it. The window kit can be sized ( cut to fit ) I own three Haier portable air conditioners. 8,000 -10,000- 12,000 BTU. They are great units and do a fantastic job.

It's very simple and cheap. Use a 2x4 or a big wooden dowel cut to size. I used to live in some apartments and I had just bought a new window unit. I cut a 2x4 to size and put it in the upper portion of the window which prevented the window from being opened. I left for awhile and when I came back home I found that someone had tried stealing my A/C unit but failed because of the 2x4. It works!
