Are the vents open all the time or can you close off the air flow if needed with out removing them from window?

The vents are actually louvers, which are open always. With these screens in your window, the air flow will be less than if you did not have them in. I find them ideal for rainy days; I can have my window open for fresh air and rain doesn't come in.

The vents are permanently open (metal). The ventilator screen must be removed from the window if you wish to stop air flow.

The vents are open all the time. This is not a 'fancy' item but is practical in terms of allowing air in a room while keeping insects and rain out. (Happy with mine-)

The vents do not close. You must remove them in order to close the window or you could put them on the outer screen and just close the storm window . I hope this helps you.

There are vents up top that are always open and the windows in the front can stay rolled up for additional airflow. My daughter has been sleeping in hers for 4 months now and she loves it. There are no zippers. The door stays closed by two velcro squares. One in the middle of the door and one at the bottom of the door. Hope this helps!

The window vent is held in place by the lower window sash and can be easily removed to open the window. With a window mounted A/C unit you can't open the window as the sash holds the entire A/C unit in place. The biggest advantage for us was the ability to move the unit easily from room to room.

Every vent should have a scroll knob to open and close the vent; pull the vent out of the floor, turn it upside down. With the vent flaps open, you wiggle the filter flush against the slats. But it drastically cut down the air flow, so that I removed it, because the room got so warm (it was summer). I also didn't see that it trapped any dirt.

If you are worried about cold air going come from the attic fan opening it does not seem to be an issue. Heat rises. If anything warm air would escape to the attic if the louvers were open for some reason. May 5, I live in Michigan and have not turned on my air conditioning other then to make sure it works.Warm days still have cool nights so we set the fan on 2 hours, crack the windows. Makes for some good sleepin'.

You have to have the exhaust hose vented out a window. Otherwise you are defeating the purpose of cool air and the hot exhaust.

Exhaust vent out the top, vertical up. No power involved at all. See those slots in the side of the device?? Thats where air goes in so keep them clear

The windows open all the way, there is one on each side and two in front, so it can be very open plus two ventilation openings up top. Used it twice, never got hot. Love this tent

I don't have any issues with reducing to 3 and mine direct vents out of the side of the house, but the air that comes out is strong, but no problems after 1 year of use

I use a filtered duct cover in the room..attached to the intake duct. It does restrict airflow.. so remember to " upsize" intake vent..

I use my laptop while sitting in my bed or on the couch all the time. I've never had a problem with the vents getting blocked. It seems to circulate pretty well, sometimes so well that I don't have to plug the fan into my laptop (the extra space between the laptop and whatever surface I'm using is sometimes enough for the laptop's fan to circulate hot air away without the help of this fan, though I tend to plug it in after I've been using the laptop for a while).

No. Not at all. I use mine to keep air flowing in my South Florida bedroom. In the winter my windows are open, but in the summer I use it with the windows closed and AC on and it works wonderfully. I often use it lying on it's back - pointing up at the ceiling - just to keep the air moving throughout the room.

It has slits on the sides and slits on the bottom piece for ventilation. Air flow isn't an issue with these. I wouldn't worry about that. I still think this is the best deal.

There are two vents in the top section. We have seven large breed chickens. We keep them open and the front door is propped open leading to a large dog kennel type enclosure. I did notice morning condensation on the inside of the roof in the morning. The vents being open 24/7 seems to have re-leaved that problem. Our weather is identical to that of near-coast San Francisco{cold, damp and foggy}.

Jen is correct, it's just a low vent on the back. It zips down if you don't want it open. But, it is perfect, when open, to put a fan in front of it and keep some fresh air flowing through.

Yes, the air blows out the top of the unit. The exhaust vents are at the back half of the top of the unit. Air flow is quite good, too!

I can close the window over the fan easily. and the dial that shows the temp of the room sticks up so that the fan is secured in the window and wont fall out.
