Portable Air Conditioner Window Kit, Upgrade Portable AC Sliding Window Kit with 2pack 3m seal for Exhaust Hose (5.1"/13cm)

Intend the find the easier something goes together, the more poorly made an item is. This wasn’t easy to put together, but it is simple in its design.Everything fits together very well, but you need to be careful when assembling. This ensures there’s no gaps anywhere, which I really appreciated. I like the sliding metal plates to screw down the pieces. It’s much more heavy duty than the window adapter that came with my unit.The additional 3m weather stripping that came with was super easy apply and adheres quickly.I had some trouble getting the exhaust hose into the port. I suppose I should have put it in the insert port before putting the port into the panel.Overall, it’s doing what I need it to do, which is let me kick the hot exhaust outside rather than into my garage through a dog door, which is what I was doing before haha. It also allows me to have my portable unit in my living room where it’s most effective.If anything changes, I’ll update my feedback.

This product was easy to install in my apartment that had only a sliding glass door for AC. Works just like window ones but is longer.

The original Honeywell portable AC vent was pretty uneven where I had to use painters tape to try to close the gaps. The hole where the hose is attached to was also very narrow that in a window where you had to slide part of it into the window slits in order for the whole window kit to stay up and to reduce any gaps of air coming from outside, there would be no room for the hose to attach to the board.This one gives you plenty of room to slide the window kit board through both sides of the window slits. The weather strips that came with the kit was useful as well. Some of the adhesive wasn’t very sticky but if you put the strips on right and they stay up, I actually felt less air coming in and out. This means even if I didn’t have my portable AC installed, my room was less hot and less cold.

Perfect

There's supposed to be a hole for mounting the screw, washer, "T" plate and wing nut to lock down the adjustable feature of this sliding door kit (LPN RR DV108 3029 - as marked on the box) on the section that has the vent hole, but as you can see in the second picture - there isn't one, no hole - but there will be one in about a half hour. It's a simple enough fix, but it's a nuisance. Included in the kit is a "bird guard" (a retaining ring/exhaust vent cover) that clips to the hose adapter. It has four "snap" retainers that are about one inch long designed to fit over four clips in the adapter that are about 3/4 inch long but are recessed in the adapter. (Read that again, the measurement parts.) The ring doesn't fit. It's useless, but I didn't intend to use it anyway (I have a sliding screen door outside the glass one). And no "product manual", which is probably useless anyway.

Until this past Summer, I've never felt that I needed A/C in my home which is located on the coast of California. I can't sleep when the evenings aren't cooling down so I purchased a portable A/C unit for the master bedroom. There is only a sliding glass door in there so I needed a kit to accommodate the exhaust through the slider. After reading positive reviews for this one, I landed on this one. I'm pretty handy at assembling items but I didn't even need the instructions for this one. Super easy and adjusts to many different heights. The exhaust hose on my Frigidaire 8K BTU portable A/C unit fit perfectly inside the hole in this kit. I did purchase different insulation tape in white to match my doorframe and some white adhesive tape so that I could open/close the door while keeping the kit attached to one side of the frame. Also easy to remove and put away for the colder months without using a lot of storage space.

The material (plastic) is thinner than i expected and quite flimsy (moves a lot) when extended to fit tall slider. Worse, the output coupler is not standard 5.1. It’s taller and more narrow. I had to rig it to work with the window setup my system came with. Thank god for duct tape.

I like the sturdiness of the plastic and the nice tightener that is a higher quality than what came with the DeLonghi unit. It was fast to put together for my bedroom window and I put some foam around it to seal it up good as well as wood dowels to keep the window solidly down on the top of the vent unit. This is a much better quality and huge upgrade to what came with my unit.I am very happy with it and would buy it again if need be, however I feel this will last several years.Thank you for your great review Fish!
