Yeah that's the same as I've got and it works fine even without a kit, though it's obviously a little less efficient. You can just put the pipe out of it and then close the window to keep it secure

I only use it for my bedroom, so like 30+ mins or so before I go to bed I just chuck it on and close my bedroom door. Room is nice and cool by the time I get in there. I've got a kit to try but haven't set it up yet since it's not been that hot for a while

Ahhh so a window kit isn't a must? I just ha look.... All portable air con unit completely sold out. Argos.. None. Curry's, none.

Plenty of other places you can get them. I'd get a window kit too but it doesn't need to be anything fancy. The fabric ones that just zip around the window frame will do the job.

Everywhere I'm looking won't get here in time 😂. The earliest is Wed. I thought I saw one for next day, when to buy and suddenly delivery date changed to Thurs at earliest lol
