Air Conditioner Hose Cover Wrap - AC Hose Duct Vent Cover Sleeve Insulated Cover for Portable AC for 5" & 5.9" Diameter Exhaust Hoses Tube

This is a an absolute great product that does what it is designed to do and that is to seal the hot exhaust air from a portable AC unit hose to vent it outside, yes like some reviews I saw before I purchased this had said it is tight to wrap around the hose but in my opinion that is what also has made it an excellent product too! We worked to get it wrapped for sure but now it totally blocks all heated air exiting that hose and has none escaping into the air conditioned room! Well worth it for sure, just realize you will "work" toe get it wrapped but it does fit, just very snugly which when done turns it into a product that does what it's supposed to do! Thanks Guys

I have no idea why I didn’t buy a hose cover sooner. My portable AC is setup to reach the window with only about two feet of hose and even with that little bit exposed, the heat coming from the hose can easily be felt behind the unit when running. This literally fights the AC while it is trying to cool the room and is probably worse than having a window leak since it is so hot. For everything to run efficiently you don’t want any air leaks into the room etc, and I even have an under door draft guard installed and window foam to seal everything up. Before the hose cover, and it took about 45 minutes to really feel a difference in a stagnant heat soaked 95 degree room. Now the AC cools the room in half the time, and I noticed the compressor does not need to kick on nearly as often after long periods of running also. Pays for itself with the cost savings on the electric bill for sure! As far as fitment goes, it’s a firm fit and best to lay the hose straight on a surface when installing. The color blends right in and the material is thick with nice quality stitching. I couldn’t be happier and have no idea why I spent all these years without something like this.

Has a very strong odor when first opened. Doesn't fit entirely around a 5.9" hose where the bends are. Be sure to put the black straps that come with it on before you attach the hose, as they are one solid piece and cannot be attached afterward. Does seem to provide some insulation for the hose.

The heat coming off the exhaust hose from the portable AC unit can add degrees to the atmosphere the unit has to cool and therefore has to work harder and use more electricity in the cooling process. This insulated cover provides a better alternative as it can be wrapped around an existing installed vent and velcroed closed easily in lieu of the older style of insulated sock. This older sock caused the hose removal from the unit, collapsing the hose, inserting it into the sock, expanding the hose to the proper length, supporting the hose again to maintain direct exhaust to the window and reattaching to the unit. This hose sleeve eliminates the hassle and reduces the temperature around the hose that the unit has to cool.

I like this item. I wrapped it around my ac hose, and it kept the heat from being inside. I live in an older 5th wheel and anything that helps with heat reduction is great. I recommend this item. Easy to use.I recommend you pull out the hose and then add the wrap. Velcro's together nicely.

This works great on my portable ac in my room, but it had a bad chemical smell when I opened the bag and took it out. I left it in the garage for a week and the smell is gone, and was easy to install. For mine, it blocks all of the light out from the white exhaust tube I have and seems to keep the exhaust heat from coming back into the room

The delivery on this was SO fast which I appreciated. We’re having a heat wave in California. The cover went on my venting hose easily and fits really well. The Velcro seems sturdy enough. The weight of the cover is the issue. It’s not thick enough to really do what it’s meant to do. It does feel less hot when you touch it but it’s still warmer than what I expected. I ended up wrapping a towel over the cover which was a significant help. Bottom line, the cover is not worth the price. I’m not going to return it because between the cover and a towel I’m getting what I needed - less heat.

I have been putting this outside to air out for the last 2 days and still the chemical smell is so overwhelming that I have had a headache since I opened the package. I really thought this was a great tool for my portable AC but i don't think I can keep it with the horrific smell. I could try to put in the wash, but I am afraid the chemical smell will get into my washing machine and I will not be able to get it out. I think this is a return.
