Does it need to be vented though a window?

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

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.

No, although the instructions do say that it's good to have circulation of air to the outside (e.g., by just putting it in a room with a window that is slightly ajar, if possible) to allow the humid air to circulate outside.

I got this for my daughter, so don't personally have experience, but my daughter doesn't vent through a window. She does have it in the entrance hallway of her very small home, and keeps the sliding door open a bit for air transfer. She lives in a very dry climate, and she says it works well.

You have to have the exhaust hose vented out a window. Otherwise you are defeating the purpose of cool air and the hot exhaust.

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

Hey there. No. It doesn't need to be vented outside but I found that if I don't, the windows get steamed up on the cold glass. AS month back I was able to have my windows open and I had no trouble. I am using a "Indoor Lint Trap Filter" that cost about $35 bucks from Amazon. I love it but I am going to work on a way to vent it out my window for the winter. I use the dryer about 4 times each week sense I got it and I have not seen any real increases in my electrical bill. Love it. One other thing to add. Keep the internal lint filter clean and you'll get little to none lint out the hose. I used my girlfriends knee high stockings over the end of the exhaust opening and I have not seen any lint at all. I empty the inside lint filter after every load. Best of luck with your purchase and happy Thanksgiving. Hope this helps.

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.)

No you don't need to open your windows. It will stay cooler if you do close them. You can use it in a some what closed area, but it does have a filter in the back that needs to pull in air to run. I use it in all my rooms.

NO VENTING REQUIRED FOR HEATER WHEN INSTALLED OUTSIDE! THIS MAKES INSTALLATION QUITE SIMPLE. Be sure you have an outside space to install that meets the requirements. Tom Swaffer tomswaxl@yahoo.com

That is a very good question! But we do not have it vented and it works out fine.

No it does not have to be vented to the outside via a vent. Exhaust works fine within it's self.

We do have a window in the room where the warm air vents. From the outside of our house you really can't see the vent. Overall, I would not recommend this unit - it is big and clunky and difficult to drain the water from (which happens often) and for its large size it only cools the master bedroom and not even really the adjoining master bathroom.

No. The window needs to open a bit for the flow of air to go through the AC

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.

Yes, the unit has to vented outside, heat air can go outside through the hose. the hose connect the machine and window kits. It is easy to setup. Thanks for your question.

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 must be vented outside. A window is the most convenient, although I vented mine through a wall.There is only one hose on my unit.
