Is it normal that the hose gets pretty hot?

Yes, normal as the hose serves the purpose of getting rid of the warm air inside your apartment. The hose on mine has gotten very hot before but never to the point where I'm worried. I tend to not run it more than 2-4 hours at a time though.
1582316
yes, depending on HOW hot you are talking about. does not get hot to a temperature that is the least uncomfortable to the touch; it is hot air blowing out through a plastic tubing...
1582317
That is how it gets rid of hot air, but without knowing how hot it gets, it's hard to say if that's normal.
1582318
it does get fairly hot... it's the heat exchange process that makes the cooling happen, and it vents out that exhaust hose. It should be as hot as a hair blow dryer or so. Therefore, the shorter the 'run' to get it out the room (window, attic, etc) the better as it's not heating the air in the room so the ac has to work harder, meaning more hot air vicious circle thing.
1582319
Yes. It is normal because it sucks all of the hot air out of the area through the hose.

I don't know if it's normal or not but mine does the same thing. I think that this is supposed to happen but I also think it reduces the efficiency of the unit. It blows out very cold air but does an inadequate job of cooling the room which is fairly small. Not happy.

The air exhaust hose gets rather warm to the touch when the unit has been running for awhile.

Yes, but more like warm. Hot would indicate that you'd get burned if you touched it. A/C units make cold and exhaust heat. In a window unit the heat creating part is outside of the window so you don't notice it; same with central air. It's not dangerous and shouldn't defeat the purpose of the a/c unit (ie make the house hotter). If the unit doen't seem to cool for than it heats then clean your filters, make sure the metal vanes the filter covers is clean too. If you have indoor pets that shed put a filter on the bottom of the unit where the vents are or you might find the coil covered in fur like I did. Yes, but more like warm.

I've had this unit for over a year, and while the hose does get warm, it seems to cause no problems. The unit works very well for us.

Yes it gets hot. Sometimes I can Pu with bare hands and other times need a hot pot mitt.

Mine has never has done that. I noticed it gets very hot in use. I would call the manufacturer or check on their support page.

It does tend to get pretty hot but not horrible. I have mine partially under cover from the tiki bar roof which helps.

It is steam so it does get hot! If that is your only question I hope I have answered it. Just know that you will have to spend a while circling the hair over n over to get the job done properly

Mine gets really hot, that has never been a problem. It actually gets hotter that I had anticipated.
758277
yes. i did find that not using the hose attached could be a little ackward.

There is a small dust port under the cord,and mine came with a hose to connect to a vacuum! Yes it does get warm but not hot when used for a time ! I use mine clamped upside down, mostly !!

Nope! I've used mine without turning it off, or taking breaks, for well over an hour and haven't felt it get hot yet.

Yes mine also got really hot. The engine had a non-related issue and is not running now but I assume it will still get hot.

It does get hot after use but just don't touch that part- not hard to avoid. It cools down fairly quickly

Yes, the exterior does get quite hot. Top and sides will evaporate a splash of water in seconds.

I have experienced it getting quite warm. Not so hot that it has burned me however.
455699
No I have not had a problem with the handle being to hot. Seems like it would cause it's metal but so far no problem at all.

I am not sure if it is supposed to be hot. Mine, I just checked, is warm. I'm afraid I can't help you anymore than that.

it gets hot a little bit but is normal because is on 24/7. and the power supply is just one cord .doesn't have the square thing in the middle. like the power supply of macbook and other devices.
