    Good product, does the job

    The product works well and does what it’s supposed to do. It’s easy to use and has a practical design. I’ve been using it for a while and haven’t had any issues so far. I’m giving it 4 stars because there are a few small things that could be improved, but overall I’m satisfied and would recommend it.

    The only review you'd need

    This will definitely cool your room if that's your main concern. Yes, it is noisy, even at low speeds, it's natural considering it's using fans to generate cooler air, that's just mechanics. I'm an avid earplug user when I sleep so the noise is irrelevant to me and whenever I'm in my room I'm usually wearing headphones playing games to throw a tantrum over it. If you wish utter silence, consider paying really top dollar for such a thing, assuming it exists. I live in FL and it is incredibly hot and humid, a container or bucket is required for the excess of water it'll spit out, the cooler you want your space, the more water it'll generate. I attached the hose to a 5 gallon bin and while I slept, it'll be halfway in water when I'll wake up, that's roughly an 8hr window. I'm content with the size and don't have to worry about overflowing as I'll empty it throughout the day. If you look at the pictures the hose is being held down by the small black rubber band of the bottom drainage. The hose comes curved so this kept it secure. If you haven't gotten the picture, expect to drain liquid constantly depending how hot it is in your area. It's a minor inconvenience if it means I can have a colder room and be comfortable. Getting up 5-7hrs to dump water is a fantastic trade off for me. I do recommend the setup I made for myself, I use a wooden step tool, 16 inches in height, you can use whatever, the height is what's important, the higher the better, just make sure whatever you use to collect the water is below it. Get a big bin for peace of mind if you intend to run it while you sleep. I also added a sleeve to my hose, it does get very warm pushing all that heat out and I do notice a temperature drop in my room with it. It's optional but I'm trying to maximize my cooling more efficiently. I cannot stress enough how regardless of your location you'd be dumping water. How often, that'll varied. If you think you can go a day without, expect your carpet to be soaked and water all over your tile. It's also the fastest way to break the unit if left ignored. There is no portable AC that won't generate water due to the excess heat it's consuming. Do not waste your time looking for one, they don't exist. That's what they do. Owning any portable AC makes you accountable for its 'waste', in this case, water. If you have a drainage nearby, dump it there, or simply down your toilet or tub. Don't complicate your life. If you're on a budget and want a cooler room? This is a good one. PS the APP is OK, it took a bit to set up and it had mild hiccups but overall works fine, I can control it in the comfort of my bed if I'm feeling rather cold. That's good enough for me.

    Work horse

    For the size and price you can’t go wrong. The unit was tested to it’s extreme with back to back heat waves and with it being a portable unit you can’t expect a miracle but it worked hard and kept us cooler than outside by a long shot. It is efficient especially when paired with a good fan and most importantly quiet even on its high setting.

    Recommend this product.

    This item performed as expected. This little unit kept our main living area at a comfortable level until our system was repaired. Easy to install and operate. It ran constantly for 4 days straight without an issue. This would make a great unit for a garage or workshop.

Questions & Answers
  • If I only use this as an air conditioner, do I need to drain it?

    The unit is self-evaporating and expels moisture through the exhaust hose. In highly humid areas, it may be necessary to drain the unit using the base drain plug or attach a drain hose to manage excess condensation. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support

  • Do I need to attach a separate drain hose so that I don't have to manually drain it, and if so I do I have to buy one separately

    A garden hose can be attached to the rear of the unit to drain out moisture as it is collected. The drain will be gravity-fed, requiring the drainage location to be lower than the drain plug on the rear of the appliance. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support

  • Can you use this in your car with no AC?

    Portable air conditioners are not designed or approved for use inside a car. They require a proper household power supply, correct ventilation/exhaust setup, and stable indoor placement to operate safely. For cooling a car, we recommend using a product specifically designed and rated for automotive use. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
