Honeywell - 450 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner - Black/Silver

Let me first start by saying that I was a little hesitant to buy this machine based on reviews I had read that said it didn’t do a good job of cooling or that the machine was super loud. Neither of those were the case. It’s honestly not that loud and it even adds a little white noise. Yea it’s not as quiet as when it’s off, but what do you really expect- silence? As far as cooling, our whole 400 sq/ft apartment gets cool within 10 minutes (1920s apartment in Capitol Hill, Denver, CO). This past week was in the 90°s and it’s cooled off the apartment. Great for sleeping also! Just get this one, you’ll be happy!

I looked at several reviews before purchasing this one and I was definitely expecting more. When the AC works, it did not cool as much as I expected. I live in a small 550 sq foot apartment and since this AC is suppose to cover 440, I imagined it would be able to cool the living room and kitchen at least. On a hot 95 degree day, the AC kept the room at 85 degrees. Things to consider are I live upstairs so with the heat rising, it may be a little warmer that 95. Besides that on warm days (80’s) the AC keeps my apartment in the 70s which is great.

I bought this airconditioner for a top (third floor) condo bedroom in Menlo Park California. I knew it would get very little use, as the climate is dry and the ocean air cooled air arrives at night. But it can get rather warm in the afternoon. My major concern was how to vent it with only a sliding glass door as an option. The opening is 79 inches, and the solution was to use acrylic. I had a piece of acrylic cut to size.. 1/8 th inch thick so the connector would snap in. 6 inches by 79 1/2 inches, and I brought in the connector so they could cut the hole so it could snap in. I love tap plastics.. It looks like it is attached to a window.. And the price was less than $50. The unit is properly vented out the door now, and it starts cooling within a few minutes, taking the room to chilly in one hour.

I bought two of these: one for family room/home office and one for living room a week later. They cool both rooms no issue since my house is a cape. Since my family room/home office is larger and by turning on my ceiling fan, it helps circulate and expand the cold air throughout the entire room. The cold air is actually weaker than the window mounted air conditioner but cool enough to make a room feeling comfortable. It's much cheaper to get these than installing central air. The sound level of this air conditioner is much quieter than my last one which is Amcor AF9000E NanoMax Portable Air Conditioner but it's louder than window mounted air conditioner. The design looks sleek and stylish in person. It has wheels on the bottom so you can move it around but it's heavy. I also like the sleek looking touch-screen panel on the unit but the remote control design looks outdated and ugly (Hello? This is year 2020 not 1980!). The air outlet vent on the top can be adjusted by rotating up or down and there's slider inside the vent to adjust the air flow going left or right. The constructions of the exhaust hoses on these two are slightly different. One of them has more parts to assemble while other has less parts to assemble but both instructions show the older design which has more parts to assemble. So you may think that parts are missing when they are not. Overall, I am happy with these purchases.

Our central air conditioner broke during the hottest part of the summer and the factory was backlogged. We were facing three weeks without air conditioning during 90-100 degree weather. Fortunately, this great portable air conditioner filled the gap. It was powerful enough to keep the whole upstairs cool when we used circulating fans to distribute the cold air it put out. This let us sleep at night. Installation was quite easy. Its packaging and instructions were well thought out. When we were finished using it, we packed it back into its box to wait for the next emergency.

I recently bought this unit. Installed it in about 15 minutes or less and it got cool pretty quickly. I'm using this to cool my downstairs. Open floor plan about 1,200 sq ft. This unit is only rated for 450sq ft however it does a very good job cooling this 1st floor. No complaints. Of course it's the coolest closer you are to the unit however I'm pleasantly surprised that it does such a good job overall. The remote is basic and easy to use. The on board controls are nice to the touch as well. As always great customer service. They retrieved it for me and loaded in the car for me too. Thank you best buy. I appreciate the deal and service. I'm very happy with this transaction.

I had all my window replaced and they dont work well with window A/C units because they slide sideways. I purchased this unit as an alternative and I am glad I did. It requires the exhaust go out the window but that works fine with my side sliding windows. We have it in our kitchen and it keeps it cool but not big enough to cool the adjoining living room. So we are purchasing one more unit. It is quiet and not bad looking. I am pleased with the purchase.

We have had this for about a month now. My wife uses it upstairs in her office (our house is old and gets very hot). We can run it hours at a time and it cools the area very well. The noise level is also lower than I thought it was going to be. Overall very satisfied with the purchase
