I was expecting some small thing that I could easily cart from room to room but it's actually rather large and heavy. it works incredibly well though. I have a small house (under a thousand square feet). I keep it running in the loft and it keeps my whole house perfectly cooled to whatever temp I set it at. even though it's size and weight is much more than I expected, I'm really pleased with my purchase. However, make sure you measure your window first because the sizing bar for the vent was too big for my window even on its smallest setting. I had to custom cut it to make it small enough. my only other comment would be that the set up for the window vent doesn't really sit right in the window (see photo). I ended up just closing the window as much as I could and leaving some exposed space to the screen behind it because it just plain didn't line up and sit nicely when I tried to close the window on it.

This thing works amazingly well. I live on the second floor of an old Victorian and it's been like an oven in here. This air conditioner cools the room quickly and it is such a relief! The air is VERY cool. It is kinda loud, but I don't mind it. I'm just happy to be comfortable finally! It could be a pain to set up as the window part will not fit all windows. There's a 3 inch gap with mine - between my window frame and the plastic, but I have a screen so it's not a problem. But you might have to get creative to make it fit, depending on the size of your window. Overall I think it's a great air conditioner for the price.

Pros: 1. Easy to install 2. Really gets the room cold 3. Reasonable price Cons: 1. No thermostat 2. Swing malfunction in less than a month 3. Not light weight

Had my portable ac for over a year now and it keeps me cool...no issues at all...the remote control is convenient and I love how it swings up and down. Also the fan and dehumidifier function works well too. Highly recommend. Thinking about buying another for kids room.

We purchase this product to cool a loft space (378 square feet) that was always 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the downstairs. With no door or way to close it off the cool air just migrated right down the stairs. We installed this in about 30 minutes. It does come with a window vent kit that we had to cut to size then insert the supplied set screw to hold the length in place. We use some wide painters tape to seal the small gap between window and vent kit. The temperature was 81 degrees when we turn it on and within about 120 minutes the temp was down to 73. It has a temperature setting that will cycle the compressor on and off to hold the temperature you set. The unit is very quiet on low and even on high it is tolerable. The cooling vent can be set to move up and down automatically to help move the cooled air around. A very nice feature. So far this unit has exceeded expectations and we are hoping that it will last for many hot season's to come.
