Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! kzread.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

Awesome idea!! Do you need to do anything for the winter if you store the unit away??

Would you please let me know what that pack of Everbilt rolled duct material is called? Trying to order it. I cannot find any with those handy grooves to fit the vent.

I'm thinking about doing this with a 2 hose unit.

I got it connected through the wall today. Disaster from start to finish. I only blame myself for being out $71 I didn’t need to spend on another 6” Lenox hole saw. Fits the duct great, too small for the L3504 vent I bought from Locke. Anyway a square 6 1/2” hole fits the L3504 louvred vent. Don’t buy that either. I fired up the AC unit, walked outside to the side of the garage, and a louvre had blown out. I touched another one putting it back in, & it fell out. The air is so hot the louvres get soft. I don’t know how his Everbilt is holding up, but an L3504 from Locke is not going to work. I have decorative expanded aluminum and some thin aluminum. I’ll make a bug shield & a roof tomorrow. AC is blowing very cold air, it’s very quiet, not a factor in the garage. In 24 hours I’ll know how well it will cool the garage. Remember hole saw NO. Keyhole saw YES. Locke L3504 trash.

From what your saying I see a few issues. One the ac unit at 10,000 btu is built for around 300 square feet. You’d be better off with a 5000 btu for up to 150 square feet being the smallest unit you can get. Also the room size being so small when closed up will create an air pressure issue being closed in. It’s recommended you keep the door cracked open a bit to balance out airflow. Also check your air filter and make sure it’s clean. Also make sure your unit is draining outside and that it’s not clogged.

If one of the windows is removable you can remove the window. Cut a piece of plywood to fit then drill your 6 inch hole and install the tube through there. If not you would have to purchase a 6 inch hole saw bit Masonary to get through the brick. Once the hole is created and the vent is installed you can caulk it to keep animals out. Also put a cage on the outside of the vent to prevent birds
