does this have to be vented with a window?

Yes it does, but I have mine vented into attic space through a small door in the side wall since we only have skylights upstairs. It works great. Draining it is easy, easy set up, fairly quiet too. We like the different settings and remote control.

Yes. It must be vented to the outside and the kit it comes with is meant to vent it through a window.
1879275
Yes it should be vented to an on air conditioned area or a window. The unit has a fairly long hose. Unit worked well for us in our motor home.

definitely does. without venting out a window, the hot air from the compressor would just pump back into the room. But it comes with the vent tube and window adapter...essentially everything you'll need to plug it in and get cool. not the highest output unit available, but it cools a smaller room quite well (as long as its vented properly and there's not a lot of warmer air seeping into the room)

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.

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

NO VENTING REQUIRED FOR HEATER WHEN INSTALLED OUTSIDE! THIS MAKES INSTALLATION QUITE SIMPLE. Be sure you have an outside space to install that meets the requirements. Tom Swaffer tomswaxl@yahoo.com

The Ge installation instructions do require venting of this unit. The preferred option is via a damper to the outside but it can also be vented thru a window. Please call Goedekers at 888-768-1710 if you have any other questions and we will be happy to help Melanie with Goedekers

It is made to be ventless and works great. Not sure how you would vent it to the outside, you would be losing heat.

No, you have an option to use it ventless or vented. Very pleased with the product.

This unit does need to be vented outside but it doesn't need any other drainage. The vent is just to bring fresh air into the unit.

The heater does not have to be vented. I hung it and started using within an hour.

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. There is a vent in the lid. Have had in for several months and love itHighly recommend it.

Yes. Through a window or a hole cut in the wall. We cut a hole. I think they all have to be vented.

The short answer is no. When the air conditioner is running, it needs to vent freely. This is for use in the winter when the air conditioner is off. Check out the mesh cover which you can use in the summer to keep out debris.

No, I don't. I've had it for about 9 months and only put the plastic vent looking piece on top and use it like that. It sits in my living room corner. It blows warm air, so it can get a little warm in the room during warmer days. All you need to do is crack a window or door open.

Hi Diana, yes, the unit has to be vented outside the area you are trying to cool off. It comes with the materials to vent the unit outside a window. If the office you have has a dropped ceiling you maybe able to vent into the space above your office space. I did that, vented exhaust into roof space.

No it does not have to be vented to the outside via a vent. Exhaust works fine within it's self.

No. As long as you don't enclose it. Only the ones meant for indoor use need to be vented.
