Install and venting
Plan a window kit or approved exhaust path before purchase. Without venting, heat simply recirculates. Drainage management matters in humid months — check whether the unit auto-evaporates condensate or needs manual emptying.
Sizing reality
Treat catalog capacity (1.0 HP portable class) as a ceiling for reasonably sealed rooms around ~12–16 sqm with proper venting. Large open living areas still favor splits.
