#Trex tape costco code#
Proper duct sealing intended duct tape (usually not code compliant anymore) is great for permanent use - but the cheap versions are a poor substitute. But for a $5ish dollar big roll of foam tape, it's doing a great job! I'm going to do the same for the Midea in our bedroom since we moved and there wasn't much leftover tape included.Gaffers is awesome, but the adhesive isn't designed to be permanent and it degrades. The tape is a little less sticky than the included one, so you'll have to be patient with it, but in turn leaves NO residue. Basically no gaps and the cooling has been perfect so far. With the camper foam, I kinda went crazy with it and sealed the unit window edges and the hose fixture itself. Since Woot didn't include the extra tapes (and some other missing accessories I didn't need), they shaved $70 off it! I was still left without enough tape, however.

I was following the video initially and one comment made me regret my application (and I should've remembered this when I was helping my SO install hers in our bedroom). Yep, at least for the Toshiba one in my office. Man the default adhesive really mess me up, hard to put it on it gets all over your fingers, and gets stuck to the window if you don't line it up perfectly, lol in videos they did it so perfectly and never mention that problem. You took off the default adhesive and put camper seal foam? that works good? The u shape ac's have good insulation and I have no gaps anywhere in my window opening Maybe the temp readings correlate with the insulation around the window. We also have temp and humidity monitor on other side of the room from the a/c's and they display the same temperature. While I don't have this product I have two of their "U" shaped window air conditioners and I find their app works flawless for us along with Alexa. It's weird how different people have different experiences with basically the same product.
If you can deal with those first-world problems, highly recommended! I bought camper seal foam tape from Home Depot to augment the sealing (the default adhesive is super messy to remove), and it's worked great so far. And finally, the temperature reading, from my unscientific tests, reads about 3-4 degrees lower than it really is, so an offset would be necessary if using it with home automation stuff. Alexa integration is trash if you are not the primary account holder of the unit, but otherwise works. The MSmarthome app is really glitchy too with shutting it on and off and scheduling basically works half the time unless you set it up with 24 hour time. Very solid AC performance, but the remote controller works glitchy as hell at times, especially when trying to turn it on/off. My SO got this for our bedroom last year and I ended up getting the a Toshiba variant from Woot in May for my office. Overall I would say it's good for chilly spring / autumn days where you need a little extra warmth but don't want to turn on the furnace, but not so useful for very cold days like in the dead of winter. Make sure you wrap the duct hose with the included sleeve if using heat mode, to prevent condensate from building on the duct hose. You really have to pull it out of the window and shut the window when it's not in use if it's cold outside. This can also cause a lot of condensation to build up underneath the unit where the cold air pours out onto the floor. When it's cold out, and the unit is not in use but still hooked up to the window, a lot of cold air is going to come in through the duct hose. It generates a lot of condensate so you have to hook a hose up to the highest drain and empty the bucket every now and then. So depending on your climate this may only be useful for chilly spring and autumn days. It only works if the temp outside is above 42 degrees. It will warm up a medium-sized room very quickly. You can just imagine all of the heat that goes out the hose in A/C mode is reversed into the room. It generates a lot of heat, that's for sure.
