    I purchased this for a temporary use for our camper while i replace the air unit and it works great! It also cools down my 14x40 storage unit pretty well too.

    I originally bought another model that was damaged and Best Buy exchanged for this model. I am easy going so accepted the exchange. This unit is nice but pretty noisy, but works well.

    We have yet to use the air conditioner function although we set it up to make sure it works, my main reason for purchasing this now was for the dehumidifier function which you can’t use right away I need to get a separate tube that doesn’t come with the system. Well using the dehumidifier function is blowing extremely hot air even though the directions say to remove the exhaust hose. So I don’t know if it’s worth having the water taken out of the air if it’s actually making it feel hotter. What the heck is up with this? I will update my review if I get an answer of how to fix this the manual doesn’t say anything. And if the AC works exceptionally well.

    Works okay. Takes long to cool down a small room. Installing window AC is a bit problematic in my apartment, that's why I chose this. Otherwise a window unit would be a better option in my opinion

    I got this a.c. unit thinking it would more efficiently cool then our window unit for the space. It really is just average and no better but is very intrusive and kind of loud.

    I got this for my small room while my main A/C unit was being fixed and decided to keep it even after it was fixed for another room in the house

    This AC is not an energy saver, loud and not cold enough. I was better off with my older AC. It’s fed average overall I would not recommend this unless you needed it asap.

    It works great but is loud and gives off a lot of water. Need to empty out the water throughout the day. We have a bucket catching the water from the tube in the back. But it does it’s job, is cheap and is easy to use.

    Unit works well, but it does not cool a 300 sq. ft room, when it is really hot. My room is 220 sq ft. The design is a swinging vent on top, but you can stop it at whatever angle you want.

    Great quality product it definitely gets the job done. It is very quiet, versatile, and has many uses. easy to move around if needed due to wheels that are attached. Overall, Its a breath of fresh air.

    Worked well for the first 2 years, on the 3rd year, it stopped working. Of course the warranty was only good for 1 year.

    It does what I need it to do but the hose that goes out the window, came with a hole in it. Didn't wanna return the whole unit so i had to duct tape it.
