Does it have to vent outside?

I don't think so. It has a vent that opens to the inside of the house when the unit is turned on and then closes when the cooking cycle is complete. The strip across the top is the vent that opens to the inside. Mine vents to the outside so I didn't have to address this. You might go to the same model number installation instructions PDF at Whirlpool's website for a better answer.

It was installed in our garage and vented through the garage wall with a PVC pipe to the outside side yard and not the roof. I hope this helps you out!

It has to vent to the outside to work as an air conditioning unit. If there is an accessory that would accomplish this, then yes.

No. This gas heater is vented and, as a result, all products of combustion (including the smell of gas) exit the heater via the vent in the rear and are deposited outdoors.

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

Not at all. No venting necessary. Just keep a window or two, cracked open a couple of inches.

Yes, you must vent it. An air conditioner that is not vented would just pump the hot air back into the room.

Yes it needs to be vented outside like any gas water heater, should use stainless double wall vent pipe

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

I placed mine in my pool house and vented it to the outside along with the drain hose. Not sure if it definitely needs it but I felt better by venting the unit.

Yes, it does have to be vented to extract the warm air. It instructs venting through a window. I don't know if hte attic would be acceptable. You could always call the company! Hope this helps.

Yes it does. It was a nightmare trying to get it vented outside. It just blows hot air everywhere. I returned it it was just terrible. Having hot flashes in California during the hot spell of the century I ordered this thinking it would be a life saver however my ceiling fan did a better job.

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.

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

Yes. It's noisy when air moves through with the unit off, when it's windy outside. It's probably best to use an outside vent cover that has a good built in flap.

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.

The unit is designed for outdoor use. It has intake and exhaust built in. So you do not need additional venting.
