- Key Specs
- Recommended Room Size: 150 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.)
- BTU Cooling Rating: 5000 british thermal units (The amount of BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour the unit uses to cool the air, also known as cooling capacity. For best results, the capacity of the unit should be based on the size of the area it is intended to cool. For example, a 5,000 BTU capacity works optimally for a 150 square foot room. In general, an oversized unit will not effectively remove humidity, and an undersized unit will not cool the space efficiently.)

- Airflow Rate: 120 cubic feet per minute
- Remote Control: true

- Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio (CEER): 11 (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.)

It works well
Works well, nice design. Not a lot to say about a window AC in 2024… all they need to do is work. This one works. It’s pretty quiet compared to some others I’ve seen. It doesn’t have WiFi or any fancy features. It does sport a digital thermostat which is nice. I much prefer digital to mechanical. The thermostat, however, doesn’t seem to be super accurate. If in Cool mode then it seems to do fairly well with maybe a 2 degree variance at most. I’m happy with that. What isn’t great is the Eco mode. I prefer to use Eco mode but this particular unit will allow the temperature to swing a lot before it kicks back on. If you set it to say 70 and put it on Eco it will cut off when it hits 70, and then turns the fan on periodically to survey temperature. During this process the temperature in the room will rise 5-7 degrees before it kicks back on. Not a huge deal, but not ideal for my use case either. I need more stability so that’s unfortunate. Overall though I am satisfied with the unit. Any complaints are minimal, it gets the job done.

Small but Mighty - Very Worth It
Easy to install - Has been under near-continuous use with zero issues so far - The space I have it in is near the upper limit for its rating, still works great! Would absolutely recommend.
