I have no windows in the room it is intendened for. Why does it need to be vented?

For the same reason as any other air conditioner; to expel the heat the unit has collected from the air that has been conditioned. To the best of my knowledge, there is no air conditioner of any sort that does not need a vent.

The ac will pull air from the room and during the conversion process pull the heat out of said air. Then blow the cool air back into the room. The vent to the outside is to give the heat that is removed somewhere to go. Otherwise there is no where for it to disipate to other than back into the room.

If it's not vented you'll be throwing the hot air back into the room defeating the purpose of this AC unit. This unit blows the hot air out the back of the unit ( like most portable AC units). You don't need a window, but you defiantly need to vent the hot air out of the room you're trying to cool. The unit comes with a hose and I cant recall exactly how far it can extend but you would want to run that hose so the hot air is expelled from the room your trying to cool. It may be more expensive, but you might want to look at a ductless AC system if you don't have windows in that room. Either that or cut a hole in the wall so the AC unit can vent out the hot air.

All Air Conditioners need to be vented as far as I know. Otherwise hot air will just blow out into the room and negate the cool air flowing out. This one in particular though has a hose out the back to be vented out a window.

It is a excellent unit, yet you need a window to vent excess heat created during the operation of the unit.

Yes it must be vented. We went right through the wall (insulated pipe of course) but you can vent through the roof if you want.

It's a front vented unit so no, no special venting required. It's a built in that can also be used as a stand alone.

Your unit should be vented to the outside in some manor. What I did wa make a partition that I could vent through and close the window or screen on it. I also sealed it with aluminum tape. (bought at Home Depot or an Auto parts store.)

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.

It has to be vented yes. Where you vent it is up to you I suppose. If you want to push your hot air up there you can.

There is no ventilation, but the unit is not air tight. The finish is similar to brushed nickel, but not an exact match.

It needs to have flowing air behind it of some kind. We had it with a door cracked behind it. Otherwise your house or room will be dropping in moisture.

I have two of these in a hallway with no windows. I am happy with them but I can't assist you with any information regarding windows.Rob

No, you have an option to use it ventless or vented. Very pleased with the product.

There are no vents. You need to by a wall sleeve and install it before you put the unit in. The wall sleeve vents only to the back.

The heated air generated by the compressor has to be vented through an exhaust tube. That tube is usually connected to a plastic panel that fits into an open window slot. In lieu of doing that, the tube could be installed so that it is directed to an opening other than a window. Or you could add extra tubing to extend the length so that it travels to another room and is directed outside (such as a patio). The negative to that is that the hot air inside the tube has a longer way to go to vent outside.

Thank you for your interest in Goedekers! This model does need to be vented to the outside. Your apartment would need a way for that air to escape. Otherwise, this may not be the model for you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call us at 1-888-768-1710. Thank you and have a great day! -Danielle at Goedekers

This unit can't be vented through a window anyway. It has to be vented through an outside wall which is what I did. It doesn't come with the hardware to vent it through a ceiling space but it would work. Your installer will need to review what you need. Might not be to attractive since here are two hoses that come out the back of the unit. Works great for us! Good luck.

No. As long as you don't enclose it. Only the ones meant for indoor use need to be vented.

I do not believe venting through an open door is an option. There is a hose that goes to an 8 to 10 inch piece of plastic that extends to fit under a window that is part way open.

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-)
