Works very well to keep bedroom cool without the expense of having to cool the rest of the house.

As a standalone AC unit it works as advertised; however, the advanced Remote/WiFi/Voice features have a long way to go. For standalone AC it does the job. Cooling, Fan, Dehumidifier, and Auto modes. I've only tried Cooling/Fan/Auto but they work and it cools a room effectively. My frustrations are with Remote/WiFi/Voice features. Had difficulty with the Honeywell Air Comfort Alexa Skill just like many other reviewers; however, I was able to get it to connect and work. It's not great but some basic commands do function. I had some issues connecting at first as well. Below are a few learnings that may help others: NOTE: All of these are for Honeywell Portable AC HF0CESVWK6 and Alexa Echo Dot ~~ Honeywell AC Unit WiFi Connectivity & App Usage ~~ 1: As instructed, the app "Honeywell Air Comfort" is required. Registration is required to use the app (free). The Registration process will then guide you to a place to start WiFi setup and device connection. 2: I had more luck using the onboard buttons on the AC instead of using the remote. - 2a: Press and hold the WiFi button on the AC until it beeps. This means it's ready for WiFi connection and it worked for me once I followed the prompts in the app. Note the prompts do walk you through how to prep the AC unit (as mentioned before), configure WiFi, then temporarily swap to the AC unit's hotspot instead of your home WiFi. I could see this being a challenge for many people as it isn't very intuitive... but reading carefully does the trick. - 2b: The app tried to tell me to use the remote for this instead. Instructed to hold both the "Mode" (9 dots in a square) and "Swing" (Partial Pie Chart) buttons at once. This didn't work for me but in hindsight I think it's because the remote REQUIRES LINE OF SIGHT to the AC. The remote will give a false positive that it did something but the AC unit itself didn't recognize it. Easy to test this just by trying On/Off with the remote from different sight lines. 3: The temp control works in the app but a little finicky. Such as the +/- buttons only work one at a time and the unit must confirm the previous increase before it lets you do the next. Click +/- rapidly won't help. Do one at a time and wait for it to catch up. The app all has a radial visual and you can click around the 'dial' in the app to 'jump' to that temp. However the DIAL IN THE APP IS LARGER THAN THE ACTUAL RANGE OF THE AC UNIT. I noticed I could only use about ~12 - 3 o'clock on the radial to be in the 60 - 90 degree range. Below or above that just bugs out and typically does nothing helpful. 4. Basic WiFi functions over app like On, Off, Fan Speed, Mode, and others generally worked fine. Just the temp control was finicky. 5. For me the WiFi HoneyWell app functions worked on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies. ~~ Honeywell Air Comfort Alexa Skill Enablement/Link ~~ 1. In Alex app the Auto Discover/Scan Device never worked for me.... but there is hope per below. 2. Ensure to enable "Honeywell Air Comfort" skill and not the "Honeywell Home", "Honeywell Total Connect Comfort", or other apps. 3. Linking the Skill required me to provide the same Honeywell username info I provided to the Honeywell app itself before. Note the linking UI for this Skill in the Alex UI has some odd looks. It prompts you for phone or email but it looks like phone only as it has the region extension by default. For me the PHONE DID NOT WORK to link. I HAD TO USE MY EMAIL to get it to link (same as the Honeywell app... which never asked for phone but did ask for email). 4. Even after linking I found it difficult to then find the device. Auto discover failed. For me I had to switch my phone WiFi from 5GHz to 2.4GHz before it finally worked. Reading the Honeywell AC unit Owners Manual also says only 2.4GHz is supported. 5. Even on 2.4Ghz it still didn't quite auto discover right away... however, after tapping in circles through the Alexa app I eventually found it. Once I was on 2.4Ghz and the Skill enabled... I just checked Devices and found it had auto discovered it on it's own some time prior. It is under the category of "Thermostats" then "Air Conditioner". So it wasn't finding it because it had already found it... guess I just wasn't paying attention. Alas, it was finally connected. ~~ Skill Voice Commands ~~ 1. Both the Honeywell App and Alexa had the device named as "Air Conditioner" by default. I was happy to find it also responds to "AC" by default. So "Air Conditioner" or "AC" work out of the box. Basic "Alexa, Turn ON the Air Condition" and "Alexa, Turn OFF the Air Conditioner" worked perfectly. 2. VOICE COMMAND ON/OFF: Basic "Alexa, Turn ON the Air Condition" and/or "Alexa, Turn OFF the AC" worked perfectly. 3. VOICE COMMAND TEMP CHANGE: After much frustrating I finally got this to work. In short... the Alexa app defaulted and display FAHRENHEIT but then secretly converts it to CELSIUS when sending to the AC Unit. I checked every setting possible (Alex, Honeywell Skill, Honeywell App, AC Unit itself) and NOWHERE can I see why this is happening. Honeywell AC Unit/App <-> Alexa Skill TEMP CONVERSION: 60 <-> 140 (Min) 69 <-> 156 75 <-> 167 90 <-> 194 (Max) So I was able to say "Alexa, change the Air Conditioner to 194 degrees"... which changed the AC to 90 F (Max). And "Alexa, change the Air Conditioner to 140 degrees"... which changed the AC to 60 F (Min). 4. I have found voice commands that work for other settings like Fan Speed, Mode, Swing, Sleep, etc. Just On/Off and Temp Control. Nor does the manual or onsite listing of the Honeywell product list the commands. AND the Alexa skill description itself has example commands that are clearly incorrect and/or copied from some unrelevant template. Conclusion: After much frustration the unit does connect to WiFi, link with Alexa, and retain basic On/Off + Temp Control voice commands. It's just quite buggy in it's implementation. I'm not in love with it but it does meet bare minimum needs. Hoping this app/skill logic and features get an overhaul soon... Good luck!

It is very quiet and can get very cold. It really saved us this past summer when the weather was terribly humid. My only issue is with the draining of the machine. If you don't have a hose attached, it's hard to drain it. If you do have a hose attached, it's too short and can't drain it to the outside. We've had to use a bucket that we replaced 3 times a day as it would get full consistently.

The quality of the product is fairly good, The AC blows ice cold, and quite powerful at that. I only use it in the bedroom and its able to get down to temp really quickly. However this thing could easily cool a small size house without having to run it all day. I would have given it five stars except for the fact that it doesn't really seal up the window that great without some extra supplies.

OMG it was 108 degrees and this bad boy showed up and got to work. It was easy to hook up. and by that I mean a tube in the window, and a plug in the wall. Not as heavy as I was expecting. Summer is in full swing and this guy is working hard.

Works well to cool a 680 square foot apartment. I keep the temp around 75 degrees F and keep the AC in my living room. When I drop the temp to 65 0r 60 degrees F then it keeps my bedroom very cool.

Very heavy but it works and I love that is has an cop that allows me to turn it on before I get home from work so my home is cool by the time I get home.

Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you're satisfied with the performance of our Honeywell Portable Air Conditioner, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. These units tend to get heavy due to the compresors fitted inside in order to cool the space you need them to.

Wifi feature is great. Noise level is similar to a fan on high speed. The window bracket assembly has too many parts to it (foam, adhesive tape, etc). It also requires a screwdriver to secure the window bracket, so after all these pieces together, is a bit difficult to install/uninstall to move it around. I had this in the bedroom and it does cool the room. I also have the classic version of this Honeywell unit and that window bracket assembly is much simpler and easy to install/uninstall making it easy to move around.

It does the job so I give it 5 stars. The only issue I have (that should not really take away any points because it's just me being picky) is the controller! I can't seem to press the buttons in the correct location to activate them. But like I said, it does the job of cooling the room I just have to turn it on manually. No biggie.

I'm glad i bought this before the summer heat wave hit here in Seattle. I live in a 1 bedroom apt, not huge, but not small either. This kept my living room a little to cold during the peak of the heat on hot days. Was able to connect to the wifi and the easily. It's obvious a little louder than wall mounted, but I only used it during the day.

Not great, had a hard time keeping a 200ish sq/ft room cool. Quiet though, guess if you had no other options it might work for some. Got a normal window unit and night and day difference.

We are sorry to hear this, John ! Our portable air conditioners work best in enclosed, well insulated spaces. Room environment conditions such as ceiling height, sunlight, number of windows/ doors and level of insulation can affect cooling efficiency and there are ways to increase the capacity of these units. There could be other reasons for the unit to not cool- temperature setting could be too high, the dust filter could be dirty, or the air outlet could be blocked. Our customer support team would have been able to assist you on your concerns.

Received this and it was a little banged up but still works nothing really noticeable. It is somewhat loud and cold a few feet away from it but it really doesn't cool all parts of a room. It took long to cool a small room.

This is one powerful machine! It cools down a living room and kitchen (approx. 550 sq. ft. in good time. Do Not run it when you're away, as these are not central air, but portable A/C Units.

First unit died after 10 months. Warranty replacement unit started leaking from the front seal after 2 years. First year of replacement unit it cooled great, but ever since, cooling has been significantly less. Never could connect either unit to WiFi to use the remote control app. It says 52 decibel noise rating, but on High there is no way it’s only 52 decibels.

Blasts cold air, but very loud. Also cycles on/off numerous times during the night instead of just maintaining a constant fan speed with air conditioning modulation.
