Product is a total waste of money!

This dual hose conversion kit is a joke. The large dual hose conversion baffle has air vents on the side that let the AC unit pull in air from inside the house, completely defeating the entire purpose of a dual hose system. It™™s basically a single hose setup with extra parts slapped on. The intake hose barely moves any air because the unit is just sucking it from the room instead through the side vent. Total waste of money. It does nothing to improve efficiency and feels like a cheap gimmick designed to fool people who actually care about performance.

RAP02 dual Hose conversion Kit Issues
sc12345
7/26/2022
I would like to say I had purchased my A/C unit last year but the RAP02 was not available at that time. A/C unit work well. When I received the RAP02 Kit and installed, Iwas extremely happy with the results. Cooled much more rapidly. my conversion I used the Large Baffle. But I do have some question on the Kit.
1. the Large Baffles has louvers that appears to pull air from the inside room. It looks like the louver area is designed for a Cover or Filter to be added. 1a - Is this something (Cover or Filter) that was missing from my kit? 1b - or are these optional items to be ordered? 1c - If there is not a cover or filter why are the louvers there? 1d - the panel I removed to install the Baffle had a filter built into it, should that filter have been installed in the Baffle (not mentioned in the installation instructions)? 1f - What problems would occur if the louvers on the baffle are covered on the inside?
2. Why was an Input Hose Insulation Cover no provide? the difference between room temperature and outside temperature (outside 108 degrees inside 68 degrees) could be 40 degrees or more.
3.The difference in distance between the input and exhaust Hose Adapter to window kit is approx. 1.5 inches, 3a - How much of the hot exhaust air is being pulled into the intake hose adapter? 3b Do you have an adapter that would direct the hot exhaust away from the Intake Adapter?
Recommendations - 1 If you do not install the dual hose conversion kit, I think purchasing an exhaust insulation cover for the exhaust hose, will improve the efficiency of the unit. 2. I plan on purchasing insulation cover for the Input hose, to improve the efficiency. 3. Some type of filter or screen needs to be added the " Intake Hose adapter to Window Kit" to keep Animals and bugs out.

Why is there air vents in the plastic housing That allows a majority of the interior air to be sucked outside? I mean the whole reason I Purchased was to be more efficient!?

I have been waiting two years for this one dollar piece of plastic. This is why GE will be gone as a company. Why sell me a product and leave the extra hose that is absolutely necessary. After solving a puzzle and discovering that I need to pay 80$ for a plastic hose, u tell me that it's not in stock because GE can't secure this high tech 2$ plastic hose. Well, two years into this, I have successfully ordered and I have waited already two weeks. My order has no status because GE can't make a functional website. I have a status number but I just have to wait and pray someone in GE will go to the backroom and send me my hose. Until that time, I will continue to use a fan.

Happened to check back in on this dual hose kit at random and noticed it was back in stock.
Ordered it and delivered just three days afterwards.
Night and day difference compared to the single hose setup. Cools the bedroom fast and doesn't have to run for nearly as long.
Not incentivized. Just a regular joe that happened to snag one.

Before I had this conversion kit my ac worked fine but now it works a lot better! first I was a bit eceptive, I did not know how much it would improve the performance of my GE portable AC… It was very easy to convert my GE Portable AC from a single hose to a dual hose with my Conversion Kit! It prevents a lot of the waste heat from leakin g back into the room from the exhaust hose. I'm very satisfied that my AC is better now, it's more cooler than before!
Definitely I recommend this conversion kit for best results in your GR portable AC

GE took down my other review for speaking truth about their business practices.
It's impossible to obtain this accessory, so if you haven't bought a matching AC unit, do yourself a favor and go with something else. I'll be leaving my real review on every other site I can find the matching AC unit.

This portable AC conversion kit really helps. Using without it in a smaller room works fine, but as you go into another room that is bigger it makes harder to keep cool and it takes longer to do it. With this kit it cools faster and stays cooler. The install was easy. It helps to keep the heat out while keeping the cool in. And when you are using this that is exactly the way you want it to be.

Good Upgrade to Stock AC Unit

This dual hose upgrade really helps to cool down my fitness room faster. It prevents a lot of the "waste heat" from leaking back into the room from the exhaust hose. I still get the same ~25F split in air cooling, but the exhaust hose is much cooler than before (down ~20F from 103F to 81F). I've included a few pictures from my IR camera so that you can see the difference directly.

The room cooled down surprisingly quickly after installation. The exhaust hose insulation sleeve was easy to slide on and it worked efficiently and kept the heat out. The whole installation process was simple and straightforward.

Required for GE portable A/C unit

8/11/2021
When I received my portable GE a/c unit, I noticed that it did cool off my living room area a bit, but it was still warmer then I would have liked. After receiving and installing this dual hose conversion kit, there was an immediate noticeable difference in the temperature. My living room got cooler a lot faster. I took a star off, because honestly, it should have just came with the a/c unit. There is absolutely no reason why this should be sold separately because it really makes a difference in the efficiency of the unit.

After viewing some videos about single vs dual hose portable air conditioners, I decided to give it a shot. The unit runs more efficiently with two hoses by allowing more air flow which also helps to cool the internals. I'm happy with the results and I think you will too.

This kit turns a already great portable AC unit into a even better AC unit. The temperature change of the output by adding the second hose is instant and noticeable. The kit comes with everything needed including a insulation sleeve to keep more heat out. My AC runs less while holding the room temperature since I installed the kit.

We have loved using the GE air conditioner especially this hot summer, and we have found that it cools well and fast. Using this kit has helped it to cool down our front room even faster than without it. The included window bracket is just as easy to hook up as the supplies that came with the air conditioner. Without the kit the exhaust hose would put out a lot of heat, and now the room is noticeably cooler. We were happy before and even happier now with the performance of the GE air conditioner.

I was lucky enough to be able to get the GE portable dual AC hose conversion kit. Although I thought the GE portable unit was working okay – after installing the kit I can see how much better it could be. The kit was very easy to install and seems much more efficient now. We use it in my sons upstairs room where it is exposed to the Texas heat and sun all day and get's 10-15 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. The portable unit was doing well but the addition of the dual hose kit made it even cooler and the main unit doesn't seem to have to work as hard as it was.

This duel hose kit for my GE portable Air conditioner is amazing. First my likes, I love that it keeps warmer air out and cooler air in. It made my room colder faster than the standard.hose.for sure. Second, it was very easy to install, basically same concept as installing original hose. Third, really helps these Texas summers when my central unit struggles to keep up.
My only negative is that I feel it should already be included when you purchase your portable AC. This just makes it run better and cooler so why not include it. It is not really an upgrade as it is a better design feature. An extra $80 plus for this is pricy.
It does work well, so I guess it is worth it however.

Guy who isnt incentivized

For a product *not even on the market*. Thi review is because this 1 star is literally the lowest i can go to quantify the disappointment in this product since its doesnt exist.
Been waiting to buy one of these so the portable AC unit isnt entirely 100% worthless in the single hose configuration. Any air that single hose pushes out of your house creates a negative pressure in your home. Guess where that air comes from to equalize pressure in your house? Literally outside, through any opening ever. It will blow cold air for you, but heat will come right back in just as fast, if not faster, since the single hose emits heat on its way to the window. So now you have hot air coming in thru walls and windows, AND heat coming off the hose. Sounds efficient. This RAP-02 kit is literally the only thing that makes a portable AC unit actually work. My portabe AC unit has been sitting there for months, and have since just replaced it with other normal window units elsewhere.

It was pretty easy to convert my GE Portable AC from a single hose to a dual hose with my GE-RAP02 Conversion Kit! The only problem I had was trying to slide the insulation sleeve over the intake hose. With the elastic ends this made it a little difficult but I managed to get it done. I am really happy that my AC is able to circulate even better now, giving me cooler air faster than before! I live in AZ so this is definitely a plus! I truly recommend this product!
