One of the best air conditioning portable unit. The only thing I don’t really like is the exhaust hoses because they are too big but it is fine. If you got a really good handyman or you can do it yourself no issues.

I've been using this product for about a week now and so far so good. It takes up more room than I thought it would, which is important since I live in a small studio apartment. But once I rearrange my setup in here it should be fine. Temperature-wise, it blows in very cold air compared to the window unit I was using before; though, to be fair, that unit was at least 13 years old. It's cold enough that I actually have found myself pulling out a thin blanket once or twice, despite keeping it set to 76 degrees mostly. The downside there is that once it shifts to fan only, it doesn't stay cold for long, & I have to turn it back to the cool setting. I probably just need to set the temperature lower and leave it on cool for longer, even if it means pulling out a blanket or putting on a sweater. Or perhaps add something to insulate the window gap where the tubes go. It would have been nice if it had come with something more insulating, but I will have to look into that before wildfire season kicks in harder anyway. When it comes to noise, it's not bad at all; if anything the only noise issue I find bothersome is the sound it makes as the cool setting switches to fan only. I also haven't noticed any leaking yet or tried the heat setting. So far I am pretty satisfied with the product as the most important thing is just keeping me cool in 90 - 100+ degree weather, which it's doing.

This air conditioner is fantastic. It has an intelligently designed two-hose set up (if yours is a single hose, I feel sorry for you,) and made the room it was in extremely comfortable. Not too loud, a bit bulky, but it certainly fixed our issues with not being allowed to put a wall-mounted AC in our apartment. There is, however, a very big problem. We live in Houston and during this time of year, Houston is fantastically humid. Since this also works as a dehumidifier/condenser as a byproduct of its cooling abilities, it draws moisture out of the air. This isn't a bad deal, except for the fact that once the condensing pan is full, the AC shuts off. And this would happen every four hours. So it's impossible to sleep a full night with this on because the condensation pan fills so quickly. We were sad to see it go, but it unfortunately did not work for our situation. If you live in a drier environment, give it a go. It's wonderful in all other respects.
