Questions Before You Order?
Which size should I get?
The 8,000 BTU cools rooms up to about 250 sq ft, like a bedroom or office. The 10,000 BTU cools rooms up to about 350 sq ft, like a living room or studio apartment.
What windows does the kit fit?
The included window kit fits vertical and horizontal sliding windows from 25 to 47 in.
Do I have to empty water?
In cool mode most moisture leaves through the exhaust hose. In dry mode or on very humid days, drain it through the bottom drain hole with the included hose.
How loud is it?
About 50 to 54 dB, and sleep mode keeps things calm at night.
Is there a child lock?
Yes. Press and hold the sleep button to lock the touch panel.
Does it need a special outlet?
No. It plugs into a standard 115 V household outlet. Plug it straight into the wall rather than an extension cord.
