How do you use this from room to room if you need to exhaust the heat through a window? Also, what happens to the condensation? Thanks!

You just remove the window/hose unit from one window and install in another. It's not a permanent install. If there is any condensation, it goes out through the hose. We used it all summer and never had any problems. We didn't use the unit as a dehumidifier, so I don't have any info on that.

You have to vent through a widow in each room but there is no condensation.

They have a simple to move adapter . I advise an insulated jacket that slides over the vent tube, They sell them here or at any Home supply store . It actually evaporates the water and the steam goes out the vent .this one really works !u the window. Some claim to do this but this one really works !

Our unit came with casters and moves easily from room to room but it is normally in one place. Don't know what kind of windows you have but the unit comes with an exhaust panel that can be adjusted to fit your windows. We run the condensation into a bucket and because we live in humid Hawaii, empty the bucket out 3 times or more a day.

This product is supposed to work to keep heat in a room or from a room depending how you apply it. If you apply it on the inside of the window it should radiate the heat back in

There is a round exhaust on the back you attach a hose to to vent the heat out. Its about the size of a dryer hose. I use this in my camper and have cut a round opening in the camper wall to attach the hose and expel the heat created by this unit.

In general, you need to have a few inches of clearance on the sides for air circulation. Obviously you will need an open area for dry air to suck in and humidified air to blow out. Usually, best place is where the humidified air can most easily circulate throughout your house. I have force hot air central heating, so I place mine near one of the hallway air return duct, so that the humidified air can get sucked into the central heating system to be distributed through the house. Owner's manual does say to avoid heat exhaust ducts and doors and windows. You will need to experiment to see what works best in your situation.

not so much condensation does it leave but a moist air comes out...like a mini slight humidifier...good for the wood floors (or at least mine) in the winter when the heat is on making the floors crack constantly. Adds just a very slight amount of moisture...not really condensation like a shower would in the bathroom on the windows and mirror.

I would estimate about 80% of what normally comes through our front and back windows at the hottest part of the day. We do have it on the front window as well as our French doors in the back master bedroom. Really love it! Hope this helps.

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.

I use heat bulbs, one white, one red at the entrance to our 4' x 6' shower (8' high ceiling). Even this small space does not get a 'warm' breeze. I stand underneath it to dry off and it helps with the chill. Unless you have an incredibly small bathroom-like small closet size- it is not going to heat the room. My unit does not have exhaust feature. The fan just circulates the heat. Sorry i don't have any info about heater blowers.

The unit us rated for 350 sq feet. I think that is about right if the home has normal insulation. And, on days that are 105F, any a/c unit is going to perform less than perfectly, yet this brand is top quality and will cool the room even in that climate. Thus, the smaller the room, the better a window unit will perform. Fortunately for you, you bought the best brand there is. Just an FYI regarding this specific unit...It was at my friends home freshly out of the box when we first we re able to test it out. Over the past few days when the temps have been in excess of 100F, he noticed that this Frigidaire produced clouds of condensation coming out of the vent because the unit cools the air so effectively, it actually condenses the moisture / humidity in the air near the vent as the super cold air flows outward. Now that is a fine a/c unit, in my opinion. I've never seen anything except a GM car air conditioner do that before.

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.

I use it as an air purifier. I truly do not think this will help a hot room. It has lasted a long time and is pretty good as a purifier in my hall. I only used it one time as a cold air unit. To me it was a nuisance, and it would have to be right in front of you. I have an additional window a/c unit for my bedroom that works well. You can get those pretty reasonable. I honestly do not think this particular item is your answer.

Neither. This is a room to room unit, however it does need to exhaust through a slot in the window. It has a hose and frame for this purpose. Easy to install or remove and the unitworks good.

There is only moisture build up when you use it in dehumidify mode. When using in air conditioner mode, you have to vent the hot air out a window. I think some have vented the hot air into a closet but it comes with a window attachment for the window.

I would not recommend it. You are putting humidity into the air and with nowhere to vent the humid air you will end up with a sauna. Even with a window open, this did not cool at all for me.

You want it just on 'Cool' with the fan at its highest setting. Dehumidify and Fan don't really do any cooling, but Cool will also dehumidify. I use this in my room and it works great, even in an Arkansas summer!

No. Not at all. I use mine to keep air flowing in my South Florida bedroom. In the winter my windows are open, but in the summer I use it with the windows closed and AC on and it works wonderfully. I often use it lying on it's back - pointing up at the ceiling - just to keep the air moving throughout the room.

Same square footage as yours. This heater puts out only a mild heat that will dissipate quickly in bigger rooms, with possibly large or multiple windows. The smaller the space the better it works. It struggled to keep up a satisfactory temp in a space the size of ours. High ceilings probably didn't help my situation either. I placed mine in a bit smaller room and it works wonderfully.
