Sliding Door Portable Air Conditioner Seal Kit Compatible with 5.9 inch Hose, Max Length 94.5”, Sliding Door AC Vent Kit with Vent Screen, Weather Stripping, Window Lock for Patio Sliding Door

OK, So read all the various reviews for sliding glass door A/C vent kits which were all over the place. $50.00 ones that were flimsy, $25.00 ones that didn’t do what the customer expected.I had just purchased a new Frigidaire portable with a 5.9” vent hose and our house has 5 rooms all with sliding glass doors so vent thru a slider made more sense than venting thru a window.I took a chance on this one as it seemed to check all the necessary boxes.Kit arrived in a day and I was pleasantly surprised that the vent kit seemed to be well made.Couple things I liked: Nice soft vinyl peel and stick gaskets, screen on exit vent to keep bugs and critters out, came with a sliding door lock and the panels when assembled were fairly sturdy.Couple things I didn’t like: plastic snap rivets worked but not sure how well they will hold up and if you have a standard 6’ 8” high slider 5 panels are too long and 4 panels are 1” short to fit snug.I fixed the height problem by cutting 6” off one panel and re-drilling holes for the pop rivets. And, if the plastic rivets break or fall out I will replace with 3/16” aluminum pop-rivets.It also stores easily in a closet and doesn’t take up any space.

The pictures for assembly were very small, hard to see how to assemble it. It didn't have screws, just tiny plastic buttons that you have to snap together

Since it’s not one continuous piece, you Will undoubtably have gaps in certain areas even with the weather and the provided weather seal doesn’t work for every window. Be prepared to find the right weather stripping at your local big box store. This will likely get you 80-90% to what you are after.

The tube attachment reduces in diameter from 5.9inch where the exhaust hose connects on the inside down to 4.75 inch where it connects to the door panel, creating a lot of back pressure and restricting the amount of heat that is able to be removed from the AC unit. .its really no wonder so many reviews talk about warping and melting of these kits.

The media could not be loaded.  To begin with this was amazing. However, after 4-5 days the hole that the hose connects to distorted and bent out of shape. In my opinion having the hose at the bottom and using it in a sliding glass door puts too much weight on it in combination with the heat from the hose. It still works but just isn’t as sturdy.***UPDATE*** Amazing customer service. They reach out to me because of my complaints and sent a new kit complimentary and then followed up with me after to make sure I was satisfied. I didn't expect anything but I am extremely grateful for their service and this product making this hot summer more bearable.

Gets unwieldy once extended to max height and a little flimsy until you got it sandwiched between the sliding doors. Other than that worked as expected not the best sealing (Which it ever claimed to do) but you can always add additional seals from your local Home Depot.

When I first Installed this I thought my AC went bad, because it kept shutting off and wasn't producing cold air. The next day I switched it for another one, and the same thing happened. The one I used the day before was working fine in another room. I pulled the screen off and they both are working fine.

Not at all easy to install the directions are unclear and it's very flimsy.
