We plan on using this in a snack bar for Little Lleague. We can't vent it through a window . Is venting thru an open door an option?

It is an option as long as the rest of the door opening is blocked off. Also, I sent my unit back. It made a terrible squealing noise whie operating. So I returned it after just one use. Pete

Bernard, not positive if you can do so. Best to contact the company. If you look online, you should be able to locate customer service. I vented ours through the window and it worked very well. My guess would be that you would need a good seal around the vent tube to do so.

The better closed up and sealed the area the better. A window is suggested so that you can use the attachments to make a good seal. Even given that, this has a hose that can stretch out to about 4.5 feet. You could still get a really nice gust of cold air and try to get the hottest air as far away as possible.

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.

We use one of ours (we have two) in the sliding glass door of our condo and it works fine. Your door would have to be opened just enough to hold the large tubing in place. I hope this answers your question.

This is mainly a Floor Duct Vent as far as I recall. you may need an actual Wall Vent. Good Luck.

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-)

You might try an ice pick but be careful not to jab yourself. The plastic is thin and brittle so it might be hard to force an ice pick through. I don't know why the manufacturer wouldn't put vent holes in it. We have been catching mice on a fairly regular basis but on more than one occasion the food has disappeared. We figured one mouse came in and got it and another mouse came along and opened the door and both escaped.

I do not know of ventalation inside my safe, so I would say no. I suppose their could be some sort of a vent below I can't see though.

You can keep your window screened. The vent doesn't go much farther than the window. I love this unit. It's small but cools very well and it's easy to set up.

I just take a toothpick and use it to very slightly prop the lid open a bit, and point that away from the overhanging cabinets. I don't think the vent is large enough for the purpose.

No, I don't. I've had it for about 9 months and only put the plastic vent looking piece on top and use it like that. It sits in my living room corner. It blows warm air, so it can get a little warm in the room during warmer days. All you need to do is crack a window or door open.

Excellent. The air from the inside opens the vent. Outside air is kept out!!

If your concerns is about moisture building up when your grill is covered. There are no ventilation opening. I have purchased the same grill cover and have not had any issues. Just don't cover the grill when its still warm that might cause moisture issues.

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.

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.

It will work both ways. Vent comes set up to work inside but (in my case) I converteed it to vent outside. Easly done. H.

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 needs to be vented somewhere. You could purchase an awesome high-powered fan and it would cool as well and not need vented.

I just bought this unit and set it up. My recommendation is not to purchase this one but one that has venting out the front bottom. This unit is meant to have open free standing in a room. Under counter types vent air from front back out where ever but not pulling air from back and vent to the back like this one does. Hope this helps.

Yes, unfortunately. I bought this unit for an office without a window and was disappointed to find it needs to be vented, and the vent hose itself is rather obtrusive.
