Due to your tutoring I cancelled my appointment (home repair contractor) and this “girl did it all by myself”. It has brought the temp down 16 degree. From misery to happy. THANK YOU ,,,,

Wonderful help. Costco and Hisense should have your link this July 4 heatwave. I have a horizontally sliding window but this and a sketchy image in the Hisense QuickStart brochure made it happen. Thank you during these 100F days and 70F nights.

I know I was amazed. I took this over to my sisters when her AC broke and put it in her window and she hit it for three weeks and it cooled her 1200 square-foot apartment and she never had to drain it so I think it’s self evaporating highly recommend it for sure and Costco had them for 320 bucks so cheap, thank you for watching. Stay cool.

Hi, Do you think it would work if I only connect the 'hot exhaust 'vent to the window and not connect the 'cool vent'? Thanks!
@frankh.3849Ай бұрын
How's it working out for you? I just ordered one for my grow tent. I plan on running the intake thru the floor to get the cooler air and the exhaust out thru the roof. My goal is to keep a 10x8 shed below 80°f

I was pretty amazed. This thing worked really good and it really didn’t draw a lot of water so I believe it has a system where evaporates but we put it in a 1200 square-foot apartment and a cool in Florida so that’s pretty good and it’s quiet or at least quieter than the other ones that I’ve tried.

Here's a tip to cool that hose and it's free, get a large bath towel, wet it a lil bit with cold water, then drape it over your hose, instant hose cooler!!!!

Hey do you think the air vented out is just getting sucked in by the other one?
@TomLeeman
Ай бұрын
I was thinking the exact same thing. I’m sure some of it does. They should’ve spread them out farther away from each other. I guess I could do that. I could’ve cut that sleeve too, and set one in between so that they would be farther away from each other, but that would require a little more work good luck stay cool.

Yes, and if you got Hurricane Windows, they’ve got a very deep recess that you’ve got to put something in there so that it is high enough that the collars don’t hit the window frame. Good luck on your install and thanks for watching.
