    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.

    Decent but could be better

    It’s not a bad unit but a couple problems for me like the blades to direct the air are way to small and basically pointless, it kinda stays blowing to the right also seems like the fan could be a bit stronger even on high given the size. I do like that it blows cold air almost immediately also like that it come with a remote, very simple design overall, not bad for the discounted price enough to cover the warranty but more than likely there are some better choices but for a couple hundred dollars more

    Cool and Quiet

    Purchased the 12000 BTU Smart Window AC. It was easy to install. The ECO setting works great for a 15x20ft room. The unit is quiet. Family has been keeping comfortably cool during this CA summer. I am happy with the purchase. Minus 1 star because I cannot get the Smart part to connect. (I will keep trying)
