- Recommended Room Size: 400 square feet (The recommended area size in which the product is designed to operate and produce optimal results, such as the desired heating or cooling. Generally, running a unit too big or too small for the space will result in ineffective operation and wasted energy.)
- DOE SACC Cooling Power: 6774.95 british thermal units (The Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC), implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE) after 2017, is a rating of a portable AC unit's cooling power. This rating is based on revised testing that more accurately measures a portable unit's performance, taking into account that these units do not vent heat in the same way as wall or window units and therefore were not cooling as effectively as the previous BTU ratings indicated (based on the ASHRAE-128 standard prior to 2017). Generally, the new cooling power ratings are lower than previous BTU ratings and can more reasonably be compared to the cooling capacities of other types of AC units.)
- ASHRAE Cooling Power: 12000 british thermal units (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) rates the cooling power, or capacity, of portable AC units based on their effectiveness in cooling a single room as intended. Prior to 2017, this was the accepted standard used for comparison with other types of AC units. However, it did not accurately reflect the cooling power as it did not account for the heat emitted from the unit that would circulate back into the space. The Department of Energy (DOE) Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC) standard is now used to determine appropriate BTU ratings of portable AC units.)

The only con is there's is no vertical adjustment
Much quieter than my old one. I don't have to turn up the volume on my TV anymore and I don't have to constantly drain it. Would be 5 stars if the louvers had a vertical adjustment option. It does get a little condensation around the louvers but only when it's been very hot and humid outside

Very happy with it, extremely happy with Best Buy
After researching online, including reviews in Consumer Reports, decided on this unit. After shopping around, Amazon had the best price, but anyone who's ever done business with Best Buy knows that when it comes to the overall promise of making the customer happy, only Costco is in the same ballpark. After getting on the phone to make the order, Best Buy matched Amazon's price. Nuff said. The only "shortcoming" is that the window adapter wouldn't work in any of my windows and especially the window where I chose to install it. I'm DIYer, so fabricating a window adapter using scraps that I had around was not a big deal. The other thing to be aware of is that it is recommended that you put these units on one circuit by itself. I originally had it on a circuit that shared a computer, some lights, and a TV. The plugs got hot to the touch. It was probably still safe, but not wanting to take a chance, I ran an extension cord from an outside plug that had nothing else on it. Problem solved.

Rated As Best Portable AC
The vertical installation was easy in a sliding window, but I had to make modifications because the kit wasn't made to specs and directions were unclear. I ended up using plenty of duct tape to seal the cracks and anchor the kit. The product instructions insist that the unit be plugged into a wall socket, but the power cord is only 5'. If you don't have an outlet within 5' of the unit placement, then you have no choice but to use a power strip or extension cord which the instructions explicitly forbid and will probably void the warranty if you do so. The unit seems to cool a room fairly quickly because of the dual hose system, but in operation the display emits enough light that you can make decent shadow puppets on your wall and the operational noise level seems fairly high to me. Is this really the best portable AC on the market as some ratings proclaim? I wouldn't know without trying the others. I'm only using it in my 150 sq ft bedroom and it does a good job. Will it cool 400 sq ft as it claims? I will test this in the future as my apartment is 436 sq ft. Ordering this AC online from Best Buy was easy. Best Buy had the best online price, the best selection of AC's and free 5 day shipping right to my door. Very convenient!
