Fedders (www.fedders.com) introduced its new Portable Dual-Hose air conditioner, which is designed to cool and dehumidify any room using an adjustable window adapter and two flexible vent hoses. The adapter adjusts to fit windows from 22 to 42 inches wide and requires only a 6-inch window opening, according to the company. One of the 4-inch flexible vent hoses exhausts hot and humid air outdoors while the second flexible hose uses the outdoor air to cool the internal components. There is no permanent installation required for the Portable Dual-Hose unit, which features side handholds and bottom casters for easy portability from room to room.
The unit has electronic controls with a full-featured remote. The remote control features three cooling settings and three fan speeds, plus a dehumidify mode, stated the manufacturer. It also has a one-degree temperature adjustment with a 24-hour timer and an actual or set-temperature display.
