- What size room will 12000 BTU cool?
- About 400 to 550 square feet in a typical room, less if it is sunny or poorly insulated.
- Does it need a window?
- Yes. The exhaust hose must vent out a window or sliding door, using the included kit.
- Do I have to empty a water tank?
- In humid weather the tank fills and the unit stops until drained. You can attach a hose for continuous drainage.
- Is it loud enough to matter in a bedroom?
- Owners commonly call it loud. It suits a living room better than a bedroom at night.
- What comes in the box?
- The unit, remote control, window vent kit and washable filter.
- How does it compare with a dual-hose portable?
- A dual-hose unit separates intake and exhaust, so it does not pull warm room air back in and holds a room's temperature more evenly. This single-hose model is simpler to set up but cools less consistently.
