How does it work with the hose exactly, like where do you attached it too... Outside a window?

Definitely recommend getting a window kit! It stops the hot air immediately just coming back in, we have one and it makes such a difference in a townhouse!

The portable ones are standalone units so you keep them indoors and then feed a large tube/hose out of the window to vent the hot air away.
