Does this vent outside?

Yes. You need to attach the hood to your 6 inch duct that goes outside. The duct attaches to the hood on the top center, almost at the rear of the hood.

YES - this unit has to be vented to the outside by using a hose connected to the window kit. I do not know of any portable air conditioning units that are standalone by not using an exhaust to the outside. I am happy with this unit and would purchase another one.

The unit has a fan that makes noice when venting to prevent from getting hot when use. Hope this helps.

No, it does not vent in the front. The vents are on the left side, the back side and the right side. I remember seeing somewhere -- possibly in the instruction manual that came with it -- that the unit was designed for "freestanding" use and not for undercounter use, due to possible heat buildup that could reduce the unit's ability to cool properly.

Yes if it fits in the space properly. I believe this one can be configured to vent to the outside of the home or just back into your kitchen, depending on what the configuration of your current fan is like. Ours doesn't vent to outside of home so we just set it to recirculate.

It does not need to be vented outside per say. It can be ran in a closed room. However it is much more efficient when it's venting outside.

Yes it is vented. In the front it there is a mesh window. Even if you put the cover down, there is plenty of air flow.

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

No. I would not because of the venting. I think they do have a model that vents to the outside. You have to be careful of carbon monoxide. Also I am sure there is a fire hazard as this unit gets hot. But outside it works great.

No, not outside. However, it does fit over 4" aluminum dryer vent, 4" adjustable duct elbow or 4" metal duct pipe from home improvement store, all of which fit snuggly inside 4" schedule 40 PVC pipe.

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