User Manual Honeywell CL201AE Air Conditioners

Yes! Have central air in the house but the venting system
doesn’t cool well enough to the upstairs. Use it in the
master bedroom for extra cooling on hot days; which aren’t
too many in Seattle but a very nice to have for sleeping
comfort.

We don’t because research showed it works better for cooling
by not filling it full. If we run the fan the water evaporated on its
own.

You don't have to open a door or window, just fill it with water
and choose the setting and plug it in.

No it doesn't have a hose. I usually just open a window or the
door a little.. for draft. . It has a tank or well that holds the
water. I love mine..

No you don't need to have it near a window. The idea is to let
the air circulate. If it's out in a roomy area is fine not closed up
in a room. I have mine in an open doorway blowing in the
direction of the room I'm in..
