does it need to vent to the outside. I assume it does not since Buckeye is posting that the bucket fills up too fast.

Yes, it does need to vent outside. Not sure about Buckeye, but we live in Southern California and we haven't had any issues with the bucket filling up too fast. We've had it over a year now and it works great.

Yes this unit does need to vent outside -- it comes with a plastic tube that I use to vent it to a window around 4' off the ground. It blows all the hot air outside, so I cannot see how it could be used without a window nearby. The moisture pulled in by the unit feeds out through a small tube at the bottom of the unit that I drain every few days (inside). This is separate from the hot air that needs to vent outside.

Definitely vents outside in 'A/C mode'. Perhaps if used in 'dehumidifier mode' the bucket will fill fast, but I have never had an overflow or 'full' light even when used in 90% and up humidity. The hot air blowing out the vent seems to evaporate any water that is collected in 'A/C mode'

No, it didn't. However, the only one that has to be vented out, is the exhaust. the the intake is optional. Some units only have the exhaust fitting. I hope the info helped. We sell portable units in our business. it should work just fine with the one vent.

Cold air comes out of the exhaust, so, yes, you have to exhaust it outside. You want to pull the inside air as the feed though, so block off the air intake hose.

That is a very good question! But we do not have it vented and it works out fine.

it expels a lot of heat through the hose as they all do so it would work best to vent it. one of the pluses of this unit is the addl drain hose. it is a good unit and I would recommend it.

Mine has only filled up one time. I am currently not drawing air from outside, just exhausting to outside and it is working well.

I ordered it thinking it did not have to be vented....but in the instructions it states it does have to be vented (which is easy to do).

Hi Deanie, I am not sure if or how it it is vented. I keep mine in my walk-in crawl space so it gets hot here. Never seen it swell. Dan

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.

Yes, you definitely need to vent it outside. It comes with two hoses about six inch diameter each.

Mine started filling up before I installed under a downspout. But it would take a weeks worth of monsoons! Needs to be under a downspout....

It vent out the back and needs to have space to circulate. If no space on top, then sides most have space to let air circulate.

Yes, the large round fitting you see in the picture is the vent to outside. you need to attach a hose, not included, or a piece of duct work from the fan outlet to an outside area.

Yes, the water is vented through a discharge hose (about 6 feet long) so you have to have an appropriate place to vent 2-3 gallons of water within about 6 feet of the unit.

Yes, it's vented. Saved my bacon too since my old Scout doesn't have a functional vent system.

Hello Michael. Sorry for the delay getting back to you. The Vented Compost bucket actually has a double seal around all edges both on the interior and exterior. Also the compost bucket is vented with a activated charcoal filter mounted to the lid interior covering the vented holes. The vents allow the moisture and heat that comes from the food as it sits in the container to vent first through the charcoal filter (absorbing odors) then through the vents on the lid. They both work fantastic together to keep moisture to a minimum in the bucket, and also minimize odors from coming into your kitchen.

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.
