I wish ALL other companies would provide instructions like you have, being that they make it so impossible to get their directions online!
You are a lifesaver! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. -
Thank you! I bought my Pinguino AC on Craigslist. After about 2 weeks, it started making a "sloshing" water sound. Read the manual, but the drainage knob wasn't a knob, but a pipe. Saw your vid, figured it out. I drained out about 4 of those take out containers, full. No more water sound, and I could swear it's working better. Thanks again!

Great idea! I just finished elevating my unit after watching your other video. If I decide to take it off (which I probably will because its sitting on a piece of wood on top of a rolling dolly and isn't too sturdy and I don't want it to roll off) I'm gonna find a lid like you did and try this. Thank you so much for your videos. It made a big and positive difference in my day today.

Thank you for this! Just bought my first portable air conditioner, and I was stressing over how I’ll drain it.
-
You saved me a lot of energy by not having to get this unit outside to drain the lower section; thank you!!
-
Thank you so much for providing a practical alternative to the scary videos from vendors who tell us to LIFT the whole unit on a stool or other to be able to drain the water out !
-
Thank you for sharing. I live in a third floor condo and have been worrying about water seeping to the unit below. I have all set up to do a seamless draining of my A/C.

Thanks so much for making this video. I love the plastic food container cut to fit, and the aluminum foil ideas. They have made draining so much easier!
-
Thank you sir, it gets really hot cause my room is in the attic and I didn’t want to bother my parents. Really appreciate it!!

I like your McGuyvering of the food container top to dran the bottom. I used a Soffers micowave container wich is lower and didn.t need the altering of the rim. It.s not so much humide here unless we get a monsunal flow from the South, but otherwise my unit drain nicely and keep the filters clean every two or three weeks. Thanks for the tip on the bottom drain and thinking outside the box.

Thank you for this! It took me so much time when i haven’t had watched this yet

Thank you! I was about to lug my heavy thing into the bathtub lol I wasn't sure how much water to expect. I know it'll be more than what you had there but this video helped!
-
You did a excellent video.
I love the use of plastic lid container with cutout to conform to bottom drain.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is so much better than draining with the hose they provide because it’s so low to the ground you can’t get good water flow with the hose. Thanks for your help.

Extremely helpful!
Do you have any suggestions for making the plastic plate thing that the hose is attached to stay in the open window?
Mine came with this garbage plastic slide that has gaps and doesn't stay in there and I don't want to drill holes in the woodwork. I used that blue tape and it took the finish off of the windows I just redid when I removed it last year and if you look at it sideways the whole thing falls out. -
This was really helpful because I just bought one of these. So simple. Thank you.

Tysm for posting this! This has been a pain in the butt. Especially because I have to do it every couple days. But not anymore ty again 🙂

I’m kind of concerned now. I bought a Hyundai portable unit a couple of months ago. Have only used it maybe 6 times so far but have never drained it yet. I live in Australia (SE QLD) and humidity is very high as we’re going into summer. The drainage outlet is floor level which is kinda silly. Glad I came across your video. Thank you!

Wow, creative. It's much easier/better than the tube. This takes away the need for a stand also. Great video pal! :D
I use the same strategy for the bottom water drain outlet (a tray with a little cut out gap). The tube is used on the top, but it kinks quite easily. The foil is so much easier.
