We have a unit very similar to this. You do have to hang the exhaust host out a window, or you end up with the problem you described. We rigged up a panel to put in our window for the exhaust hose and the intake hose, but this air conditioner actually seems to come with one, which is a plus.

I disagree. I think if you've been drinking a/c water for years with no problems, you're either lucky or you've built up an impressive immune system. :/

Yeah, Marlins are over Yankees 3-1.
And the same forces that are messing with the prices are at work in that game, too, because now it's 6-3 Yankees. This is almost too much fun, and I'm short on sleep.

Does anyone else find it odd that the advertisement under this forum is always for air conditioner of some sort? LOL

Wall air conditioners can be a cat-astrophy!
Stick with the Haier portable AC to avoid such mishaps.

The Marlins having been ahead, now behind, is directly related to the fact the photo of Rutledge, and the Whale beside him.

BAGS OF CARP, as it were.

I just looked... my posts have all been removed. Shame on you Woot!

But my overall feelings on today's "joke"...

oldcqr wrote:Hey, how did my completely ON TOPIC post about portable ACs and the 1/2 hose conundrum get the boot?

Because the mods are all SCABS. They are probably unable to concentrate and read through all of your posts correctly because they are under attack, by that one protester.

Hoping for good news soon. All that beer in the Texas sun will surely wear him down soon. He can't be away from Xbox much longer anyway, and his favorite episode of Star Trek will be on soon. If all of the above fails, he misses his cat and has to go home to feed and snuggle it soon.

Hopefully peaceful negotiations begin soon. Semper Fidelis Woot.

I say that today revives the great tradition of cat pictures flooding the comments. Nothing better to do with our comments right now anyway...

This is what I look like right about now.

Maybe we'll be able to find some clues in the next version of Google Maps for NES

BTW, methinks the clue y'all are seeking is found in the Woot calendar (please don't crash the server)

You mean the Woot calendar I didn't get in to buy?

In keeping with the Bundle of Carrots theme....

Is there a deeper meaning to your comment? Are you by chance saying that Rutledge is the Evil Empire?

Snipe hunting, I'm afraid. No Bunnies Ogling Carrots for us. (sigh)

Every second I am not looking at the blog I assume the blog is updating. Every second I look at the blog, the isnt updating. Its like a watched cat never/alway being gassed.

I can only find 3 of them. Anyone find any others? I don't see any hints by solving them.

I actually like the odd little creatures they have...just not so much my five. Not a deal-breaker! It is what it is, apparently.

I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

Can you send a request to the writers for us to get another update on the strike?

Last update was several hours ago. Otherwise we are going to assume they are all dead.

Are you management?

If there's a 15 amp 120 VAC outlet within six feet of your tent, you could use this. (Extension cords are not recommended, due to the unit's 1,800W power requirement.) That's after you seal up all the tent's vents, and then cut a hole the size of a window to mount the exhaust hose in. And assuming that you can stand the noise.

In other words, it's not practical. You're better off with some battery-powered fans and a cooler chest full of cold beverages.
