Does it leak water on floor?/How far away from window?

No, it doesn't leak. I had to install it 20 inches from my window for the hose to fit.

No it does not leak water at all. It's one of the best features. You can set it up to 21/2 feet away from the window.

Doesn't leak but does not really work ether. I purchased two of these for two small rooms, doesn't getany cooler then 79 degree's ended up having to put my old units back in windows & these went out on thecurb. So I was basically ripped off, thanks for the reminder.

No, and you don't have to empty it. The water is vaporized and goes out the window. My unit is about 1 foot from the wall and about 2 feet from the window exit. I aim the blower at a wall opposite from me. Works Great!

We've only used ours a couple of times. It has not leaked. The instructions say to drain accumulated moisture into a container every few days if you live in a humid area. We have ours about 3 feet from the window but the hose from the exhaust in the window is expandable to about 6 feet.

Hi Boola, It depends on the lowest part of your window. I personally would not buy another one of these units. They are the worst ever. They leak, make hec of a noise, and there is NO after sales help from manufacturer. Oh, and they are not cheap. I would stay away from this if I were you. It's a hunk of junk ! I wished I had done my research before I paid 400 bucks for it. I put it on the street for the scrap man, and was happy to see it go down the road. Leaks water all over the floor. Watch out if you buy this. Red flag here.

My unit was leaking water as well. If you remove back and side panels off there is a tiny tube that goes to the condensing area, it gets clogged. When it does the unit leaks. I bought a small plastic tub that goes under washing machines for mine. The unit works great, the company just never tells you its going to leak badly and ruin your carpet.

I'm guessing you don't mean that it would leak. You're concerned about the damp air condensing on the carpet. Good point. I have a nice drip pan to catch nearby condensation.

Yes you need to drain it. If you are running it continuously and you don't drain it the water will drain onto your floor.

How dry the floors are depends on how much steam you use. My Steamboy tends to leak like a sieve anyway, And, if I go over the floor slowly, the floor is very wet. I like the hot steam but it leaks so much water that I have to wipe the floor dry too. I didnt wipe one room dry and slipped/fell on the water.

No, the windows are open and the slats in the roof don't keep the water out (unless you made some modifications to seal/waterproof the whole thing).

The corners of the floor are open. You can hose the floor down and the water will drain out the corners.

Maybe water leakage to inside?Need to strongly tighten unit to prevent leakage

I'm not a technical person for Frigidaire or experienced in air conditioning, but I installed the unit myself and it appears to be designed to have a slight tilt to allow water to drain away from the window. I judged that from the angle of the side expander tracks welded on each side of the unit. The tilt is about 5 degrees down, so water will drain away from the window and not in toward the window.

Am I putting too much water in if its leaking out the bottom? My eggs are hatching but I have to keep a towel underneath the unit. Help???

It is fine on the floor, but you'll want to have something under it because eventually any humidifier will leak. I wouldn't expect leaks anytime soon from this, but eventually it happens. I'd be cautious about hardwood floors because a certain amount of the mist does settle in the immediate area. That being said, mine is on hardwoods with a plastic tray underneath it. It won't work on carpet (I get erroneous "tank empty" messages whenever i try).

No, I have not had any problems with any leaks, luckily. I have mine directly on hardwood floors, too.

If it's completely closed I haven't had any leaks. If water is in the closure it would probably leak but just a small amount.

If you don't aim the AOS away from the counter top it will dampen or leave water. I haven't noticed any dampness on the floor.

Nice floored area but not a tall space. If it rains, that area will be completely wet. We decided it would be better to have a separate tall screen room.
