Plexiglass > this but it works

It doesn't really stay in the window too well because of the weight of the tubes. But it works for now! Planning to get a plexiglass insert instead

Easy to install and arrived quickly

So glad I purchased this before the summer heatwave in Europe this year. I have been enjoying my nice air conditioned room every night thanks to this item. It was super easy for me to install by myself. I took one star off because in the super hot months the glue on the back of the Velcro strips would melt off. But it was still easy to refix and get back to work.

Pros
  • It is also a valuable investment if you rent or lease your home and want to avoid any damage to the window
Cons
  • It may cause condensation to build up on the window

Good idea but tape not so good.

Absolutely no instructions but can be figured out. Used on a window in a condo right on the water in Honolulu. The window was cleaned well but the tape came off within 24 hours.

Pros
  • The seal kit eliminates any need for additional insulation, making it a convenient and straightforward solution
Cons
  • The adhesive may not hold up well in extreme heat or cold

Surprisingly works great!

I really was skeptical with purchasing this but wasn't too sure what to do for filling the gap in a large side opening window so thought I'd give it a try. I am very glad I did! It was the perfect solution for filling in the space on this large window. The item doesn't come with any instructions but I remember that one of the product images is the instructions so if you purchase and are not sure how to install just refer to that image. Very easy to install anyways so you don't really need a lot

Pros
  • 9.8 x 1.3 x 10.5 inches
Cons
  • It may be difficult to install properly for some users

Works great unless the window is on the sun!

We loved this item right up until the adhesive melted from the sun & started blowing the hot air back into the room. Not only did it defeat the purpose but it made a huge sticky mess to clean up.

Pros
  • Ingenious Innovative
Cons
  • It may not be effective at reducing energy costs

I loved the idea of this product

I loved the idea of this product. However, it came from China with instructions that were very confusing as they were clearly written by one who had a poor grasp of English making installation prohibitive. It does not work for my casement window which is a crank window that pushes outward. Also this item was identified as eligible for prime shipping with no statement that return shipping would incur a charge. Vendor made returning item difficult with requests for multiple photos of the item and

Pros
  • The product is easy to clean, and you can easily wash it with a damp cloth if it gets dirty
Cons
  • The product may not be effective at reducing humidity levels in the room

Very flimsy for my opinion

It did not hold up to the wind, especially on an outward opening window. There is no support for the weight of the hose. The zipper arrangement easily allows bugs in around the hose.

Pros
  • Parts & Accessories
Cons
  • It may limit the amount of natural light that enters the room

It not great - my new review

We put it in the window it held but one strong wind and it broke off letting in more then 20 mosquitoes making me break out in allergic reaction so bad my arms swelled up 5 times there normal size and I had to be heavily medicated for more then 3 weeks before it all stopped. I don't recommend this item strong wind will rip it off to easy.

Pros
  • The Gulrear Portable AC Window Seal Kit is customer-trusted and has numerous positive reviews
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for use on windows with unique shapes or angles

Portable AC/DEHUMIDIFIER Vent great for sliding glass door

This product works great. It was very easy to install. It under represents itself because it works GREAT for a sliding glass door as you can see in the photograph. For 10 years I have been looking for a solution for sliding glass door venting solution for my portable AC and had finally relented that I would have get one designed for a vertical window which we also have.To my surprise but this was plenty big for a full size sliding glass door as you can see. ( FYI I just upgraded my AC unit to a

Pros
  • The seal kit will fit different air conditioning models, making it a versatile option for many homes
Cons
  • The adhesive may not hold up well in high humidity environments

Needs work. for my opinion

Purchased 2 for crank out windows to use portable AC units. Does not stay on window frame. Does not seal around tubing. Lets bugs in. Does not look nice in windows. Great idea. Needs more thought to make it better.

Pros
  • Comes with all you need, pretty easy to put up, even if it takes a little time, and works great so far.
Cons
  • good seal.

Works great! - my new review

This product is perfect. So glad I found it before I put a hole in the side of our condo. Works well for large windows too. That's my review!

Pros
  • Heating, Cooling & Air Quality
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for renters who cannot make permanent changes to their living space

Happy with purchase

Works well.Very easy to set up.Weighs 42lbs which is easier to move than our former unit which weighed 75lbs.Cools a 16' x25' bedroom which technically should have a larger BTU unit.Drainage instructions are not clear.

Pros
  • Not what I thought but it work little long for the window I was using it for
Cons
  • Don’t understand the whole concept poor installation instructions

The product does the job

This product has been a life saver. I have a room that I could not use window units. I was skeptical to purchase this I figured it would be a hassle with the glue. Honestly it does the job. I have only had issues with the glue loosening twice and next to the exhaust pipe. I assume it's the heat from the exhaust. I wish it was held together with velcro to prevent this issue. However over all it does the job I can have air-conditioning in a room that did not have air-conditioning. It is not the…

Pros
  • The adhesive fastener ensures a tight seal around the window unit without causing any damage to your window
Cons
  • The zipper may scratch or damage the window frame over time

I did not really expect this to work but to my surprise it works really well and creates a nice seal so that hot air and bugs do not get in. 4 stars only because it is vey unattractive. From outside it looks like you stuffed sheets in your windows and from inside it just looks messy. I'll take that they for being able to run my portable AC with casement windows when it is 99 degrees outside.

Pros
  • The product is user-friendly, and even beginners can set it up in no time
Cons
  • It may require frequent cleaning to maintain effectiveness

THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!

This is what you've been looking for in order to seal those special types of windows (The ones that have a crank handle and open out!") It works great and it's a tight seal. Now with my "Coldfront" portable AC im staying cool in LA I love it you'll love it too!

Pros
  • It is easy to store during the off-season, saving you valuable space in your home
Cons
  • The product may be difficult to store when not in use

Met my expectation: my feedback

I lost the window piece of my portable AC and was unable to find the replacement. This is just a long plastic cloth with zippers and it is attached to the window with double sided tape. It functioned as intended.

Pros
  • Omg great and Easy set up real simple and it really works and the money great price
Cons
  • Did not work at all ripped to easy and let so may flys and other bugs in the house

Does the job in my review

It does the job. Doesn't come with any instructions and if you aren't handy like me, that can be frustrating. The cover itself also can't be cut or altered to fit the window best but I still made it work. Doesn't look great but just have my blinds covering it. It gets the job done and in a place with no AC and a need for it, this was a good purchase.

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • It may not effectively block all hot air from entering the room

Works perfectly for a specialized task

If you want to install a portable air conditioner and have those annoying windows that only swing out a little ways with a crank then you’ll need this. Last year I jury rigged something with tape and cardboard; this works much better since you can easily remove or reinsert the AC exhaust depending on the weather.

Pros
  • Energy Saving In Summer
Cons
  • It may not fit tightly enough to prevent hot air from entering the room
