Installing a Hisense Dual Hose 8000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner in horizontal window.

[@lindarogers3827]

Due to your tutoring I cancelled my appointment (home repair contractor) and this “girl did it all by myself”. It has brought the temp down 16 degree. From misery to happy. THANK YOU ,,,,

[@TomLeeman]

Excellent way to do it not too hard when I get these things I always try to figure out like a puzzle and not read the directions. Stay cool and thank you for watching.

[@mae388]

Thank you!! Solo female here first time living on my own, this heatwave was killing me but I didn’t have anyone available to help me with an AC set up, this was perfect, to the point and easy to follow - thank you!!!’

[@TomLeeman]

Glad I could help stay cool this summer

[@suzanl8170]

Thank you! Sir, you are saving the world, one slightly cooler person at a time! My elderly parents thank you for the great tutorial.

[@TomLeeman]

Excellent glad to hear it. Stay cool this summer and thank you for watching.

[@KateJones-t5h]

Wonderful help. Costco and Hisense should have your link this July 4 heatwave. I have a horizontally sliding window but this and a sketchy image in the Hisense QuickStart brochure made it happen. Thank you during these 100F days and 70F nights.

[@TomLeeman]

You’re welcome. Try to stay cool this summer. It’s gonna be a hot one.

[@orlandodelcastillojr.8049]

I bought the same one at Costco it works flawlessly☃️☃️

[@TomLeeman]

I know I was amazed. I took this over to my sisters when her AC broke and put it in her window and she hit it for three weeks and it cooled her 1200 square-foot apartment and she never had to drain it so I think it’s self evaporating highly recommend it for sure and Costco had them for 320 bucks so cheap, thank you for watching. Stay cool.

[@rockerchic6694]

Youre easy install video helped me install this with ease other than my hoses has to go on a sliding glass door. I had about 6 inches of no plastic so i bought a piece of Styrofoam to fill in the missing plasic at the top of the door. Just installed this morning . THANKS 🌹

[@TomLeeman]

Glad to hear it way too innovate. You guys stay cool this summer and thank you for watching.

[@vikingmike8139]

One of the best informative setup demos ever. And very entertaining as well. Thanks kindly. Cheers!

[@TomLeeman]

Glad you enjoyed it! Stay cool this summer

[@stephaniezimphalest9700]

This is the no nonsense tutorial you need at 11pm on a hot night! Thank you!

[@TomLeeman]

You’re welcome stay cool

[@TomLeeman]

Yes, I have to say this was a really good unit. It was super quiet and efficient. I liked it a lot.

[@ASSEENBYSB]

great video i also bought this one and did a review..im soo loving mine..so glad i choose these over window units

[@TomLeeman]

Glad to hear it stay cool this summer

[@danielkidane6948]

Thank you sir! Precise tutor.

[@TomLeeman]

You are welcome keep cool

[@yume8380]

Here's a tip to cool that hose and it's free, get a large bath towel, wet it a lil bit with cold water, then drape it over your hose, instant hose cooler!!!!

[@TomLeeman]

That is a great idea. Thank you for your information and stay cool this summer.

[@zaffo757]

i have this unit in Hawaii and it is fabulous.

[@TomLeeman]

Great to hear stay cool thanks for a watching

[@whitepuddinn]

Awesome vid ! Thanks!

[@TomLeeman]

No problem! Stay cool this summer

[@TomLeeman]

You can definitely set it up vertically in the window. You’ve got extra sleeves with it so it should fit no problem. Good luck thanks for watching.

[@KateJones-t5h]

P.S. There are some what better horizontal window installation info in the Installation Manual. Note also to peel the backing off the foam slowly and gently or the foam will rip.

[@TomLeeman]

Excellent tip thanks for watching.

[@mrzif0013]

Is the unit truly no need to drain? What is the capacity of the water container ?

[@TomLeeman]

I’m not quite sure how much water it will hold, but it is self evaporating

[@TomLeeman]

Welcome

[@frankh.3849]

How's it working out for you? I just ordered one for my grow tent. I plan on running the intake thru the floor to get the cooler air and the exhaust out thru the roof. My goal is to keep a 10x8 shed below 80°f

[@TomLeeman]

I was pretty amazed. This thing worked really good and it really didn’t draw a lot of water so I believe it has a system where evaporates but we put it in a 1200 square-foot apartment and a cool in Florida so that’s pretty good and it’s quiet or at least quieter than the other ones that I’ve tried.

[@Hardrockingamigo]

How long is the power cord. Looking to install on my garage but outlet might be too far

[@TomLeeman]

I think it’s about 5 feet

[@cassidyhendricks7565]

Just ordered this was wondering if it came with the hoses and adapter or will I have to purchase them

[@TomLeeman]

It comes with everything the flex houses collars even insulation strips you’ll have everything you need to set it up. Good luck stay cool thanks for watching.

[@tedjspenadel]

Great video but who's Bob?

[@TomLeeman]

He’s somebody’s uncle

[@TomLeeman]

Thanks for the info

[@TheAppleisland]

Do you have to put water in it and where?

[@TomLeeman]

No, you don’t put water in it. You drain water out of it but this one here is self evaporating so you should be OK. Good luck thanks for watching. Stay cool.

[@mercedeskittie]

Hey do you think the air vented out is just getting sucked in by the other one?

[@TomLeeman]

I was thinking the exact same thing. I’m sure some of it does. They should’ve spread them out farther away from each other. I guess I could do that. I could’ve cut that sleeve too, and set one in between so that they would be farther away from each other, but that would require a little more work good luck stay cool.

[@wild_cumulus_cloud]

@@TomLeemanif you put it on a vertical window, put hot side on top and cold on bottom. Hot air rises and cold air sinks.

[@fatboyd9319]

This is exactly what I did! Just picked mine up at Big 5 for $250 with tax, out the door! So far I'm loving it. Room went from 86 degrees to 69....love it. ​@@wild_cumulus_cloud

[@germanrogel5475]

On eBay the seller on description says work on 500 sq ft and send on different box I look in you video the original box is for 350sq ft 😅

[@TomLeeman]

Here’s the funny thing on the box. It does say 350 feet but I put it in my sister’s apartment which is 1200 ft.² and it kept it cool and were in Florida where it’s 90° out. I was amazed good luck stay cool thanks for watching.

[@Purpflower]

Can you put the window sleeve vertically?

[@TomLeeman]

Yes, you can. As a matter of fact they give you extra sleeves if you’ve got a really high window so it works both horizontally and vertically. Good luck stay cool thanks for watching.

[@Dudez20ful]

Thank you for answering this i just bought one of these hoping it'd vertically as well no im relieved 😅​@TomLeeman

[@gkjeung1]

Hi, Do you think it would work if I only connect the 'hot exhaust 'vent to the window and not connect the 'cool vent'? Thanks!

[@TomLeeman]

You could try it see what happens

[@Geeezusss]

Did this work for you?

[@Ismael589]

Perfect good explanation thank you

[@TomLeeman]

Glad it was helpful! Stay cool this summer

[@robertlombardi2228]

Is your central are not working or are you supplementing cooling in specific rooms of the house ??

[@TomLeeman]

I use this while I’m fixing the other AC

[@moonsandstars1]

do you take it off when its no longer in use or do you keep it in the window?

[@TomLeeman]

I pack it way back in the box when I’m not using it. I have a video on how to do that.

[@TomLeeman]

Stay cool

[@Shyndixie]

Fixing the panels on standard windows can be hassle & even require a carpenter .

[@TomLeeman]

Yes, and if you got Hurricane Windows, they’ve got a very deep recess that you’ve got to put something in there so that it is high enough that the collars don’t hit the window frame. Good luck on your install and thanks for watching.

[@kennyhuang1985]

how to get the water out from the ac

[@TomLeeman]

I have a video on that here How to drain a Hisense 8000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqqZZZmmqppleac

[@Cantplaygood]

Does it go fast because mine the air going slow

[@TomLeeman]

I don’t know if you would say it’s fast but it does cool the room well

[@Cantplaygood]

@@TomLeeman a little

[@Cantplaygood]

@@TomLeeman like when I go inside u can feel the difference but around like a min it gets hot

[@Cantplaygood]

@@TomLeeman but I check the air conditioner it feels cool

[@kaimanaKozlowski]

does it come with the rubber/foam strip?

[@TomLeeman]

Yes, it comes with those foam strips that you can use in the window. Good luck stay cool thanks for watching.

[@kaimanaKozlowski]

@@TomLeeman thank you!

[@jessicameador182]

What size is the coupling/adapter that fits the hose and to the machine? I have one that I think came with the unit (I borrowed from a friend) but I can't get it to slide in. It seems to be too big and wants to snap in over the "clips"

[@TomLeeman]

You definitely need to have the collars they go in the machine and the window sleeve

[@jcjazmin]

Mine doesn't seem to cool

[@TomLeeman]

Check and make sure that you have it on cool and not fan or dehumidify good luck. Thanks for watching. Stay cool.

[@Geeezusss]

Did it ever work for you? I’ve been running it for an hour and it’s still 91 degrees

[@TomLeeman]

I use a hacksaw

[@cook4005]

When is somebody gonna say how hot them hoses get in there it heats up the inside of the house from the the hoses

[@TomLeeman]

Well, the one hose is blowing hot air out because it’s a heat exchange and then the other polls the cool air in supposedly and they do get warm. You could wrap them with some insulation.

[@bruford911]

Did you cut down panel I? My window 28” is wrong for given panels

[@TomLeeman]

I didn’t have to cut the panel on this one, but I have in the past had to do that to fit the window. Good luck thanks for watching.

[@sorrbet4185]

What do you recommend buying in order to cut panel I? I’m having the same problem but don’t have anything in my apartment to cut it with.

[@bruford911]

@@sorrbet4185 I used a hacksaw and made it out with all 10 fingers! I think a dremel tool might do it.
