Questions about Electrolux Exp26u338hw

Almost no manufacturer offers hose extensions for such air conditioners. Extending a hose is certainly possible with a little tinkering, but the problems then arise with the waste heat that is emitted back into the room via the longer hose, so it is not optimal to extend connection hoses. What would be a very good alternative, however, is the use of a Vornado room air circulator, which can then be placed near the air conditioner and aligned so that the cool air from the air conditioner is transported over a distance of up to 25 metres. This is a very good way to use a room air circulator to quickly distribute cool air in a larger room. The fan unit can be swivelled and directed vertically upwards or towards the corner of a room ceiling, for example. The warmer air on the ceiling is thus very effectively pushed away. Something like this would be ideal: Vornado 5303DC (30 W)

There is a hose through which the condensation water can drain off. The water should then flow into a container.

I haven't measured the volume, but the unit is quite loud. We also have it in our bedroom. We switch it on for pre-cooling until we go to bed, it is pleasantly cool in the room and then we switch the unit off. It's just too loud to sleep with...

So, if the roof window is narrower than 50 cm, the "beam" does not go in. It has to be clamped in like a support. However, the tension is rather weak, I had to secure the window with the enclosed tensioning set. It doesn't matter whether it's horizontal or vertical. The hose reaches just over 1.30 m above the floor. Since the hose does not run straight to the window, quite a bit of length is lost. If the window is higher than approx. 1.00m, the length of the exhaust hose is not sufficient.

does not look like it, still 514 francs

I installed this device at my grandparents' house. It ran all last summer. I only emptied it about 3-4 times. To do this, I always switched the appliance off because (unless you install the hose that releases the liquid into a container or similar) you have to tilt the appliance backwards so that the liquid drains off at the drain at the very bottom at the back. The unit has to be tilted relatively strongly, which means that there is practically nothing to put the water under because the drain almost touches the floor. However, not very much liquid came out each time, rough estimate = a few decilitres. We let it run into a dustpan or onto the slab floor and then mopped it up. Hope that helps.

I would best ask the customer service directly.

Yes !

The refrigerant R290 (gas) is in a closed circuit. It should not volatilise. However, due to ageing and vibrations over the years, it can lead to leaks in seals/connections. And so the gas can escape. My first air conditioner cooled perfectly for 11 years. Provided the maintenance is correct. (Filter,drain water....)
