Ours is vented outside, but it can be used as a ductless range hood if you prefer.

it did before i had it installed - i guess it will close as good as it supposed to - i realize it being light its not airtight. but i m glad i bought this vent - i had purchased another but returned it to the local store - it works great not as loud .

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.

Yes. It needs to be able to vent in and out to function. The vent should come from outdoors to ensure no bad odors or gases come into the living spaces.

Yes and no. It has an intake vents on one side. The wall can not be very thick. I used it a threw wall. It was a thick insulated New England wall. The hole cut on the inside of the wall just fit the front. The hole on the outside of the wall was larger. I boxed in a pocket so I did not cover the vent.

No it does not, which is why we purchased a swamp cooler versus a room ac unit. We did not want to deal with windows and venting

Yes. It must be vented to the outside and the kit it comes with is meant to vent it through a window.

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.

Yes it does. Mine is against an outside wall, and we were able to switch the ventilation function so instead of recirculating the air, it is actually thrown outside the house. It increased my countertop space tremendously. Hope this answer helps you. (we bought this one because it has the best rating on Consumer reports).

yes, it needs to be vented somewhere. You could purchase an awesome high-powered fan and it would cool as well and not need vented.

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 unit has to vented outside, heat air can go outside through the hose. the hose connect the machine and window kits. It is easy to setup. Thanks for your question.

There aren't any "vents" per-say, you can direct the air flow left to right via "finns" controlled by a tab above the discharge port. It works well enough.
