never thought about it until after I got it, was more focused on the taking care of the heat. It's about as quiet as a standing fan /a slight humming of the compressor? it was more quiet than my old window unit and overall, not bad at all. I have a 4 month old that's a real light sleeper so i'm glad it worked out.

I got a portable GE unit at Sams Club not too long ago and am thinking about insulating the exhaust vent tube to reduce some of the heat coming from the vent. Do you think it is safe to use a fiberglass insulation on the exhaust tube? I'm a little hesitant because I hear that inhaling fiberglass isn't really great and I'm not sure if the particles will get into the machine and be circulated around the room.

Any other suggestions about what I could use to insulate it?

Thanks!

The energy efficiency rating of this Windchaser is poor at 7.58. You will be paying high electric bills.

In comparison the Sunpentown WA-1010E 10,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner has an EER of 15.15. That's double the efficiency.

12,000 BTU of cooling with the Windchaser is 1450 watts
10,000 BTU of cooling with the Sunpentown is 660 watts

As you can see that's a huge difference in energy consumption per BTU of cooling.
The Sunpentown also has a heater and runs around $350.

may i ask where did u purchase the supentown air conditioner?
