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

Works better than expected. Cut the heat feedback from the exhaust hose considerably more than I had hoped! Cover gets just slightly warm to the touch. WAY better than anything else I have tried! This should be a standard item with ALL portables. Clearly improved our efficiency. THANK YOU!

Really Nice. Extremely well made. Great product. Great Shipping. Great price.

First and foremost the thing works! Secondly it’s a pretty tight fit so it’s a little difficult to install by yourself and it also does not like to make sharp bends but you can make it happen. During my testing it seemed to lower the temperature of the pipe by about 10 degrees besides right out of the machine it dropped about 20 degrees! Quite a big difference in how it feels so far. Giving it 4 stars because it’s not as thick of material as I expected and it doesn’t like to bend much. Besides that it seems great

If you own a Zero Breeze or Wave 2, you need these.

This product has the worst chemical smell I’ve ever experienced. It was so bad my family started to have headaches and feel bad after less than 24 hours of using it and it triggered a full blown asthma attack in my husband. At first we thought it was seasonal allergies but the minute I removed the product from the hose and aired out the room we all began to improve so I know that whatever toxic fumes this product was putting into our air was affecting our health. What’s even more frustrating is that it did actually work - it cooled the hose significantly and lowered the overall temperature of the room, but we can’t actually use it because of the horrible fumes. I’m returning it and looking for a healthier, safer alternative.

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.

**TL;DR:** The hose insulation has some drawbacks like a strong smell and questionable quality for price, but it ultimately works well and improves cooling efficiency.---I recently purchased hose insulation for my portable AC unit and here are my thoughts:**Installation:** Make sure to put the black elastic straps on first. They are closed loops and can’t be put on unless the hose is disconnected. My hoses have a diameter of 5.9 inches, and this product is a tight fit. My hoses also have two almost 90-degree bends, so I had to disconnect them, straighten them out, and then apply the insulation while the hoses were straight for the easiest application. The material doesn’t like to bend much initially, but I was able to slowly spread it out over my curved hoses.**Smell:** Normally, I disregard reviews claiming a horrific smell upon opening because the smell usually disappears quickly. This product is an exception. It has a strong smell that doesn’t fade easily. I get used to it after about 10 minutes, but every time I leave the room and return, it’s like a slap in the face. It's been 2 days as of this review.**Quality:** The quality is questionable. The material is thin and the stitching is basic, something anyone without experience with a sewing machine could sew. However, despite these drawbacks, this product really works. The hoses look more aesthetically pleasing and feel cooler to the touch. Within a couple of hours, I noticed a difference in the efficiency of my unit’s cooling after installing these.**Customization:** For my double hose unit, I just cut the insulation in half with normal scissors without issue and the material held up well.Overall, despite some flaws, this insulation significantly improved the performance of my portable AC unit.

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
