  • Key Specs
    • Recommended Room Size: 150 square feet (The recommended area size in which the product is designed to operate and produce optimal results, such as the desired heating or cooling. Generally, running a unit too big or too small for the space will result in ineffective operation and wasted energy.)
    • DOE SACC Cooling Power: 5000 british thermal units (The Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC), implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE) after 2017, is a rating of a portable AC unit's cooling power. This rating is based on revised testing that more accurately measures a portable unit's performance, taking into account that these units do not vent heat in the same way as wall or window units and therefore were not cooling as effectively as the previous BTU ratings indicated (based on the ASHRAE-128 standard prior to 2017). Generally, the new cooling power ratings are lower than previous BTU ratings and can more reasonably be compared to the cooling capacities of other types of AC units.)
    • Number of Cool Settings: 2
    • Number of Fan Speeds: 2
    • Airflow Rate: 175 cubic feet per minute
    • Remote Control: true
    • Integrated Heater: false
    • Sleep Mode: true (Enabling this mode sets the unit to first reach the desired temperature, then gradually increase the temperature over a period of time until it reaches a new set temperature, typically several degrees higher than the initial cool setting. This mode helps save energy while keeping the room comfortable.)
    • Timer: true
    • Auto Shut-Off: true (Feature automatically turns off the product.)
    • Window Venting Kit: true (Indicates whether supplies for venting the unit through a window are included.)
    • Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio (CEER): 6.1 (The standard used to measure energy efficiency in window and room air conditioners by the Department of Energy (DOE) as of June of 2014. CEER measures the ratio of output BTUs (British Thermal Units) to input electrical energy (watts) in standby mode and while the unit is operating. Generally, the higher the number, the more efficient the unit. Though higher efficiency units are typically more expensive upfront, they may offset the price in energy costs over time.)
    • App Compatible: false (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)
    • Wireless Connectivity: None (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
    • Air Conditioner Type: Portable
    • Hose Configuration: Single (Generally, dual hose configurations are more efficient and better suited for cooling larger areas. Single hose configurations typically consume less energy and are best for cooling smaller spaces.)

Hisense - Refurbished Excellent - Portable Air Conditioner 5000-BTU DOE (115-Volt) Vented - White

The Hisense AP0522CR1W Portable Air Conditioner is a compact, Energy Star certified cooling solution designed for smaller rooms up to 150 square feet. Delivering 5,000 BTU (DOE rating) of cooling power — equivalent to 7,000 BTU under the older ASHRAE standard — this unit provides effective climate control for bedrooms, home offices, dorm rooms, and other compact spaces where a window AC isn't practical or permitted. Three versatile operating modes let you choose the comfort you need at any time. Cooling mode delivers powerful cold air to beat the heat, Fan mode circulates air for a refreshing breeze without active cooling, and Dehumidifier mode removes excess moisture from the air to reduce humidity and improve indoor comfort. The adjustable thermostat lets you set your desired temperature, and the unit maintains it automatically — cycling on and off to keep your room consistently comfortable without manual intervention. One of the most convenient features of the AP0522CR1W is its drain-free operation. Condensed moisture is evaporated and exhausted outside through the air hose automatically, so you never need to empty a water collection tank, connect a drain hose, or worry about overflow. This hands-free moisture management makes the unit ideal for unattended operation, overnight use, and spaces where regular maintenance isn't convenient. The compact 11.81″ × 12.99″ × 26.38″ footprint fits comfortably in rooms with limited floor space, and the included caster wheels make it easy to roll from room to room as cooling needs change throughout the day. Smooth electronic controls on the unit provide intuitive operation, while the included remote control lets you adjust temperature, fan speed, mode, and timer settings from across the room. A 24-hour programmable timer lets you schedule the unit to turn on before you arrive home or shut off after you fall asleep. Sleep Mode gradually adjusts the temperature for comfortable overnight cooling without abrupt changes. The washable polypropylene (PP) filter is removable and reusable, reducing ongoing maintenance costs while keeping airflow clean. Auto-restart automatically restores your previous settings after a power outage. The unit operates at approximately 46 dBA on low — quiet enough for sleeping and working. Energy Star certified with a CEER rating of 6.1 for efficient energy use. Includes a flexible exhaust hose and window adapters for easy installation in windows 18″ to 50″ wide.
