Customer reviews more useful to 7 of 7 people found this review helpful. Kit box is cheap by R. Haeckler The kit they use to download the warm humid air outside is cheap. How cheap? I followed instructions to tighten the screws with a strength and very little stripped the hole before the screw is still tight. The plastic that fits in the window is sweet. The part that connects the hose to the window, and do not connect due to the same question with respect, we fell in the middle of the night. I saw the window kits exactly the same on other brands of portable air conditioners so that it may be that only one company makes the kit box and sell them to different airlines to buy another brand does not do much good. Is there a work around, Tho. The enterprising couple can cut a piece of wood on the right dimensions to their windows, weather strip fit at the edges, and cut a hole in the air vent from the unit - it has a fitting on the end that attaches via four screws another work - round (which we probably will) to the screws with nuts and bolts to replace, so they do not fall out during use. Other than that the unit works fine. It weighs about 70 pounds, not too heavy compared to some. We used it in a room that was larger than we had, just to try and cool the room well. Most of the moisture has evaporated and sent through the window, but there is a drawer that needs to be emptied occasionally. Unfortunately it is not a pull and dump type, but has a little plug about an inch from the floor to empty the water out, so I think you should drag to the shower to drain. This is not unusual for this type of portable air conditioners, unfortunately. See all 1 reviews ....
