Love it cools very well much better than expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am happy to say that with its exhaust it is much easier to instal than a large window unit. Have never had an indoor air conditioner like this before. So far haven’t had to drain it due to the exhaust taking care of that perfectly after a week barely any water. Hearing about the older units that needed to be emptied every few hrs I was very skeptical about giving one these a try but now. I am never going back to a window unit again this thing cools a large apt w four rooms very well. I also had a 14000 btu air conditioner before this and hardly notice a difference if anyone is on the fence about buying one of these don’t hesitate it is much much easier to install than a heavy window unit

False advertising
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The manual shows different installation pieces. The piece that is supposed to secure into the window is too short to fit my vertical window. I had to use the previous window attachment instead. This thing is very loud. It sounds like I'm taking off in an airplane. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to sleep through this noise! I spent less on a different portable AC unit 3 years ago; it was super quiet and was a 10,000 BTU. Also, online it's advertised as 8,500 BTU, but actually it's 8,100 according to the box and unit; see photo attached. Do better, Best Buy!

Smart Portable A/C
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this A/C during the hottest summer I remember having. So humid. We had moved into our new house and needed something for the living room. So, we had heard these portable a/c's worked well, it was on sale, so we tried it. It works very well. Instant cool down in the room. It actually works well for 2 rooms. It's not very loud, it is very easy to run and takes up minimal space. We are so happy with our purchase.

Good purchase, if you don't mind white noise.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this for my living room during the summer. It runs about 500sqft in total, second floor above the basement it it keeps use nice and cool throughout the summer. Only down sides are that it is very loud, and because we are running it in a bigger room it be turned on before it gets hot.

Not what we expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned this as it was too cumbersome and had to have a hose to drain it that we did not realize. Pumped out almost 3 gallons of water in 4 hours. Bottom drain next to impossible to access and having a hose from the continuous drain to a bucket in the living room was ugly and had to be monitored constantly. Very disappointed and returned for credit on our card. Would be better suited in a basement where a drain was accessible. Acted more as just a dehumidifier than an air conditioner.
