- Key Specs
- Recommended Room Size: 250 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: 5000 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: 8000 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.)

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.)

No Automatic water evaporator awful
This air conditioner works to cool the room adequately however unlike on more expensive models from brands that you’ve heard of, this unit doesn’t have an automatic water evaporation system so it’s literally draining buckets of water all day. Which is a real nightmare to have to constantly be checking a pot of water on your floor seeing if it needs to be emptied (3-5 x daily). This is going back to Best Buy and I’ll now be spending a few more dollars but will get one from a brand I’ve had and know before like: LG, Toshiba or Frigid aire to name a few not one of those that I’ve ever earned despite 24 seven running of them over the years ever needed to be emptied. This one is the exact polar opposite. I feel like I can’t almost go out otherwise I’m gonna water all over the floor big mistake trying to buy something in less expensive. I guess it’s true you get what you pay for, pass on this one.

The thing sucks power
Bought the AC for a mobile home thinking it would work fine like any other AC unit but the AC takes so much power to turn over it flickers the lights and cant even get the LEDs to turn on its so bad. I do understand im talking about a trailer here but its not a massive portable AC, cheap product.
