Q: Does this portable AC require draining or does it have a auto ( or self)evaporation system?
A: The LG 500 Sq. Ft. 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, Model # LP1417GSR has a self-evaporative system, but whether it will need to be drained or how frequently it needs to be drained will depend on whether you are in an area of low humidity or in an area of high humidity or on what the humidity level or dew point index is on any given day. When the internal water collection tank gets full, "E5" appears on the display and the air conditioner will turn off until the internal water collection tank is emptied. IF you are inland in an area of low humidity, you may not have to empty the tank as frequently if at all as you would in a coastal are where humidity levels are high and the frequency of having to empty the internal water tank may be more more...^IFV
A: Jules, Having a window is not required. HOWEVER, ventilation is required. The unit must have ventilation to operate properly. Good News: You can narrow your search to "Ventless" or "Ductless" Air conditioners. They are not as prevalent, but do exist. Remember, Research is much cheaper than buying something only to find out it will not work Brand Loyalty is a good thing, but research multiple units by multiple manufacturers and search for reviews until you narrow it down to the top three. Comparison shop between the three factoring in cost, longevity, warranty, functionality, and most importantly... will it suit your SPECIFIC needs? Happy shopping, Jeff
