Portable Air Conditioner Hose Cover Wrap, AC Hoses Insulation Sleeve

This cover made so much difference on how well the air conditioner worked in my room. I got to a point where I thought I needed to return my air conditioner but when I read some information about how much these helped, I decided to give it a try. I can't believe the difference that it makes! It was a little hard to put on because of how bulky the hose is, but other than that I love it

This has been on my air conditioner hose for awhile now, it went on easily and works well keeping the heat from returning to the room. I bought the two pack in case one wasn't long enough ( which was a problem with the first one I bought) or if it didn't insulate as well as I wanted, so far one has been enough even on the warmest days.

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.

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.

This AC hose wrap is a game changer. It has helped lowered the temperatures in our room significantly when running. Highly recommend getting one. Installation was very easy.

I like the product but they came smelling like horrible chemicals. I am trying to air them out but it made my whole room stink in a matter of minutes. I hope they will be usable.

**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 "must have" to reduce excess heat emissions from your a/c duct work. It doesn't eliminate it, but very greatly reduces it. The elastic straps are extremely snug if you're wrapping a 6" line.

Fits perfectly and makes a big difference to keeping the heat put of the room. Looks much better than the actual pipe too.

This is a must-have product if you have a portable air conditioner. It will greatly increase the efficiency of your unit. The product I purchased came in a 1-pack. You don’t need to cut it or anything like the other reviewer did. It’s Velcro and adjustable so you just fold it over on itself and Velcro it so it’s the right length. The Velcro is reversible that’s on it so it works both ways! And it insulates more without having to cut anything if it’s too long for your hose when you roll it over to the right length. The smell is like a wet suit. Neoprene. It faded after a couple days. Lingers for a few weeks faintly and after about a month it’s unnoticeable. I’m sensitive to smells so this is the worst part of it, but it insulates well. Noise. It reduced the noise by about 20db from the hose and the AC. I was very impressed. Make sure all the hose is covered by it to get maximum noise insulation. The insulation works. It’s incredibly effective. Normally we would have a ton of heat coming from the back of the AC unit which would make the AC work harder, but this cover blocks out about 95% of the heat that would have been emitted by the hose. It also has a couple straps to help us seal it near the area where we connected it to the outside and the AC doesn’t need to work as hard when the rooms get cool so it’s quieter there as well. Overall this product is something I never considered and I wish I bought it years ago. I’ll keep this for as long as I use portable AC units and will recommend everyone with a portable AC to get something like this to improve the look and efficiency of their AC.

Me encanto, la calidad es muy buena , la funda es gruesa se cierra con velcro le quedo un poco pequeña de ancho, tengo un delonghui/ pinguino, pero viene con 3 cintas ajustables para cerrar en diferentes puntos. Evita el calor transmitido por el tubo hacia la habitacion.

Dimensions do not cover tube

I recommend getting one designed for a larger diameter hose. It fits perfectly on a straight hose, but once the hose is bent, the Velcro comes apart. A larger diameter allows enough room for the hose to bend without stressing the velcro fastening.
