- Key Specs
- Recommended Room Size: 550 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.)
- BTU Cooling Rating: 12000 british thermal units (The amount of BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour the unit uses to cool the air, also known as cooling capacity. For best results, the capacity of the unit should be based on the size of the area it is intended to cool. For example, a 5,000 BTU capacity works optimally for a 150 square foot room. In general, an oversized unit will not effectively remove humidity, and an undersized unit will not cool the space efficiently.)

- Auto Shut-Off: true (Feature automatically turns off the product.)
- Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio (CEER): 11.4 (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.)

Awesome window AC, love the Alexa compatibility.
This window AC is awesome! I needed this for my bedroom, I was getting too hot at night and my central air wasn’t enough. I ordered it for pick up and BestBuy had it ready within the hour. The installation was easy and everything you need to install is included. You will need a second person to help pull it out the box and mount on window. I highly recommend setting up the voice command feature. I set mine up with Alexa, it took me about ten minutes to figure it out. You have to add it as a skill and not a device. If I get too cold at night I don’t even have to open my eyes I just tell Alexa to set AC on a higher temp, it’s awesome! The app is very useful, you can track how much energy the AC has used in KWH. One down side is that the unit is on the louder side. Overall I’m very satisfied with this unit.

Best money spent!!!
It's sleek and clean looking. Super easy to install and maintain. You get an alert anytime the filter needs to be cleaned as well. You can operate the unit by the app on your phone which is super convenient. It's not too loud and it cools very well. I'm using this in my single wide mobile home. It's cooling my living room and kitchen area perfectly. I would def purchase again.

Cools Fine But Power Saver Mode Not So Good
Used only a few days while getting quotes for new central AC, cools 550sqft fine. Wifi works well; as such, I haven't used remote. Easy install, relatively quiet. My only complaint is something that I also saw in another review, i.e. the power saver mode is pretty much useless. Temperature range swing for on/off cycle much too large, My central unit cycles on/off within one degree, don't know degree swing this one takes because I have to go back to cool mode before I ever find out. My 4 of 5 instead of 5 of 5 stars is result.
