- Key Specs
- 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: 7906.7 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.)
- Number of Cool Settings: 1
- Number of Fan Speeds: 3
- Airflow Rate: 188 cubic feet per minute
- Remote Control: true
- Integrated Heater: true
- Sleep Mode: false (Enabling this mode sets the unit to first reach the desired temperature, then gradually increase the temperature over a period of time until it reaches a new set temperature, typically several degrees higher than the initial cool setting. This mode helps save energy while keeping the room comfortable.)
- Timer: true
- Auto Shut-Off: true (Feature automatically turns off the product.)
- Window Venting Kit: true (Indicates whether supplies for venting the unit through a window are included.)
- Energy Efficiency Ratio: 10.9 (The ratio of output BTUs (British Thermal Units) to input electrical energy (watts) at a given operating point. Generally, the higher the number, the more efficient the unit. Though higher efficiency units are typically more expensive upfront, they may offset the price in energy costs over time.)
- Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio (CEER): 6.97 (The standard used to measure energy efficiency in window and room air conditioners by the Department of Energy (DOE) as of June of 2014. CEER measures the ratio of output BTUs (British Thermal Units) to input electrical energy (watts) in standby mode and while the unit is operating. Generally, the higher the number, the more efficient the unit. Though higher efficiency units are typically more expensive upfront, they may offset the price in energy costs over time.)
- App Compatible: false (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)
- Wireless Connectivity: None (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Air Conditioner Type: Portable
- Hose Configuration: Dual (Generally, dual hose configurations are more efficient and better suited for cooling larger areas. Single hose configurations typically consume less energy and are best for cooling smaller spaces.)

Easy setup but a bit bulky
Unit was larger than I anticipated but that is to be expected for 11,000 BTU's. Rolls easy but not across carpet so be careful. Window adapters are pretty easy to set up but pay attention to which side is the exhaust. If you have to set it up in a narrow window where the ports are vertical. Be sure to put the exhaust on top or the hot air will get pulled back in the intake, since heat rises. Other than that, it is pretty quiet and the settings are easy to follow with the remote. Forgot, it is top heavy so be careful with small children around it because it can tip on top of them if they pull on it.

Good air conditioner, mostly as expected
The installation was easy. I have windows that slide sideways, so the two hoses for in and out are one above the other. The first time I turned it on, about four hours later the water tank was full. That surprised me because I thought that the tank would slowly empty itself. So I got 1/4" vinyl tubing, and fed the water to the outside. Quite easy. The unit is about as loud as expected, and you get used to it. We play piano in the same room, it works fine.

Love this Air conditioner
I installed the AC as soon as I received it. I am using it in a backyard portable office building, without any insulation. The average temp is above 100 degrees on a good day. Within 5 hours the office had cooled to temp. that I could use it for the purpose of an office for the first time in two years. Not really sure why I waited so long to make this purchase. I have not used the heater yet, but I am certain if the AC works this good the heater will as well, The noise level is acceptable.
