Lol...just ran across this "discussion"...too dam funny...not sure why the PORTABLE AC UNIT on wheels cant be moved closer to a window? Should be a power outlet close to that window as well...agree totally about length..for a reason...just wish the hose was a little easier to work with..way rigid...its all about height and angle with this one not very pliable..lol probably for a good reason..I know. I know....but I did manage to add some teal colored duct tape for the viewing...lol
